Mr Eazi Essentials

Serving up a sure-fire amalgam of Nigerian traditions and Ghanaian beats, Mr Eazi has sparked fresh—and deserved—global interest in Afrobeats. A string of tantalising singles and mixtapes like Life Is Eazi, Vol. 1 - Accra To Lagos (2017) made clear his taste for intricate cultural interplay and contemporary pop motifs, borrowing from hip-hop and highlife, dancehall and R&B. His singing is relaxed and seductive, backed by meticulous songwriting—weaving revolving drum patterns, invigorating dance beats, jazzy sax sounds, inviting female vocals and rap interludes by the likes of Sarkodie.
