Nigerian-born music superstar, business visionary and international nomad\u00a0Mr Eazi\u00a0has announced the formation of a new pan-African music group,\u00a0Choplife Soundsystem.<\/p>\n
The group will also consist of UK-based, Kenyan-born Afrobeats selector and tastemaker\u00a0DJ Edu,\u00a0as its resident DJ,\u00a0along with an informal crew of contributing DJs, artists and producers from across the continent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Eazi\u00a0will be the primary vocalist on\u00a0Choplife Soundsystem\u00a0recordings, and will also serve as its MC \u2014 or\u00a0Minister of Enjoyment\u2014 at live events.<\/p>\n
Choplife Soundsystem\u00a0derives its name from the popular West African pidgin slang phrase\u00a0chop life<\/em>, meaning \u201cenjoy life,\u201d along with the traditional soundsystems that are the backbone of Jamaican music culture.<\/p>\nIn Jamaican parlance, a soundsystem is a mobile crew of DJs and MCs, typically financed by a prominent local businessperson, who present music together at public events, such as street parties, clubs and festivals.<\/p>\n
Recent years have seen international outfits like producer\u00a0Diplo\u2019s\u00a0Major Lazer project put their own spin on the format, functioning as both creators and performers of original music, as well as a tastemaking DJ crew.<\/p>\n
With\u00a0Choplife Soundsystem, the always-visionary\u00a0Mr Eazi\u00a0is putting a modern, African twist on soundsystem culture, incorporating genres like Amapiano and Afrobeats to curate the ultimate African party experience\u2014 both on original studio recordings and at curated live events.<\/p>\n
Inspired to take the vibe and spirit of his successful Ghana holiday party\u00a0Detty Rave\u00a0on the road,\u00a0Mr Eazi\u00a0\u201csoft launched\u201d\u00a0Choplife Soundsystem\u00a0with events in Cotonou, Benin; Stockholm, Sweden; and Kigali, Rwanda, in 2022.<\/p>\n
Mr Eazi\u00a0will announce further details about\u00a0Choplife Soundsystem, including new music releases, partnerships and live events, later this Spring.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going back to where I started from, hosting the biggest parties at uni,\u201d\u00a0Mr Eazi\u00a0says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s how I started singing. I am looking forward to this new and fun ride, and I can\u2019t wait for all the music to start dropping and the accompanying live experience\u201d<\/p>\n
