Mr Eazi to Release New Music after Choplife Launch
Following his recent feat at the Latin Grammy Awards, Nigerian musician Mr Eazi is set to release new music later this year. He made this known through a press statement to announce the launch of his new pan-African music group Choplife Soundsystem.
According to the renowned entrepreneur, the new music group will redefine the African music landscape, and showcase the continent’s diverse musical talents.
Choplife Soundsystem features a talented crew of DJs, artists, and producers from across the continent, including UK-based, Kenyan-born afrobeats selector DJ Edu who will serve as its resident DJ.
The music group derives its name from the popular West African pidgin slang phrase “chop life,” meaning to enjoy life to the fullest, and the traditional Jamaican soundsystems, which are mobile crews of DJs and MCs who present music together at public events. Mr Eazi, who will be the primary vocalist on Choplife Soundsystem recordings and also serve as its MC, is putting his own spin on soundsystem culture, incorporating the latest genres like amapiano and afrobeats to create a modern African party experience.
“I’m going back to where I started from, hosting the biggest parties at university,” said Eazi. “That’s how I started singing. I am looking forward to this new and fun ride, and I can’t wait for all the music to start dropping and the accompanying live experience.”
Choplife Soundsystem has already made its presence felt in Cotonou, Benin, Stockholm, Sweden, and Kigali, Rwanda since 2022.
With this new invention, Mr Eazi said he is geared up for more partnerships as well as creating new music this spring.
