Famous Nigerian singer Mr Eazi shares new music today along with the title for his long-awaited, decade-in-the-making debut solo album. “Advice.”
Produced by Ghana’s M.O.G. Beatz, is the third single from the freshly named The Evil Genius, set for release on Oct. 27, 2023.
Mr Eazi recorded “Advice,” with its dark, grimy tones, during a particularly heavy moment in his life, as he watched some of his longest-held relationships crumble under the weight of his success.
“When you first come up [as an artist], everybody is in love with you,” Mr Eazi says.
“Then they want to draw you down.
People begin to betray you.
If you’re able to survive this stage, you go untouchable.
But this is the hardest stage.”
The lyrically dense “Advice” namechecks a number of African martyrs including former Democratic Republic of the Congo president Joseph Kabila and Ken Saro-Wiwa, a Nigerian writer and activist whose 1995 hanging inspired domestic and international outrage.
“I was coming from a place of having that energy,” Eazi says.
