Surviving in the industry with hit singles, Nigerian superstar, Mr. Eazi has announced that, he will release his long-awaited, decade-in-the-making debut solo album on October 27, 2023.
The maiden album of the Artiste cum Entrepreneur is available for a pre-order. The 16-track album is released alongside the lead single ‘Chop Time, No Friend’ and its accompanying music video, shot in Dakar, Senegal, by director Allison Swank Owen.
‘Chop Time, No Friend’ is a playful return to the Banku music sound Mr Eazi pioneered and popularised with his early singles and mixtapes. “‘Chop time, no friend,’ is a very common Ghanaian saying, something you will see written on the front or side of buses,” Mr Eazi says. “It means when you are eating, you don’t think about anybody. You are just focused on your enjoyment” he added.
“It is touching on how people chitchat on me, but I am still focused on my enjoyment. It is a declaration, a celebration of self. I am saying everything I touch turns to gold. You can’t trouble me” Mr. Eazi stated.
Mr Eazi has clocked over four billion streams of his songs across digital streaming platforms, making him one of the most streamed African artists worldwide.
