It never fails. Even in the greatest relationships, trouble finds paradise. This is the phase we reach in “Lack of Communication,” the third track in The Evil Genius’ love suite. One of the first tracks recorded for the album, it was made in Ghana amidst real-life growing pains in Mr Eazi’s own relationship, but preserves a feelgood vibe regardless. True to its country of origin, “Lack of Communication” visits Ghana’s rich highlife sound, with some soulful instrumentation led by guitarist and frequent Mr Eazi collaborator, Joshua Nkansah.

The Evil Genius

Lack Of Communication

“Panadol” was created organically in Ouidah, Benin, when two of Mr Eazi’s most frequent collaborators, the producers Type A and E Kelly, came to visit him with the talented songwriter, Favour Brown, in tow. “We were chilling, trying to catch a vibe, I heard that beat play and I started jumping to the song,” Eazi recalls. Panadol, the drug, is designed to reduce pain and fever, and the song is all about feeling good. It’s where Mr Eazi finally lets bygones be bygones, and settles into his groove, playing with the theme of sexual performance and health. “I am past all that craziness [from the beginning of the album], I’ve said what I said, and now I'm having fun.”

Panadol

Kel-P, one of the most accomplished African producers working today, is Mr Eazi’s steadiest collaborator on The Evil Genius, producing or co-producing six tracks. “Kel-P made me start recording the album,” Mr Eazi says. “Without Kel-P, I might not have made one.” Much of The Evil Genius was created in Kokrobite, a beachside village near Accra, where Mr Eazi set up shop with trusted friends and collaborators in 2021. It was there that Eazi and
Kel-P aligned on Òròkórò, which boasts one of the album’s most lush arrangements and its highest profile guest feature, Angelique Kidjo.
Initially, the track featured a sample of the Afropop queen’s 1990s-era hit Wombo Lombo on its hook. Wombo Lombo became Òròkórò, after they recruited Kidjo to sing on the track, and put a fresh spin on the melody. “It so
happened that both Kel-P and I were working with Angelique Kidjo at the time,” Mr Eazi says. (They each appeared on the iconic singer’s
Grammy-winning 2021 album, Mother Nature.) Lyrics are largely in Yoruba, expressing a mix of spirituality and gratitude. “I am saying: ‘What God has done for me in secret can’t be quiet, you can see the love God has shown me’,” Mr Eazi says. What began as a beat on Kel-P’s computer
in Lagos would travel across West Africa, from Nigeria to Ghana and, finally, Benin. “We literally
finished it in a house on a lagoon in Ouidah,”
Mr Eazi recalls, citing the city in Benin, which
also happens to be the birthplace of Angelique
Kidjo. “That’s a very spiritual place.”

“Show Dem” is a transitional track, a feelgood jam for the ladies before the album moves into its weighty third act. “I wanted to get out of the state of making serious music, and I needed something playful, so I asked my team to invite some of their  friends  to come party in Cotonou,” Mr Eazi offers by way of a backstory. “I flew them in to come and distract me.” Inspiration struck during a session at Cotonou’s Eya Studios, when Phantom dropped the beat that would become “Show Dem.” “I see the way this one girl, who was the kingpin of the squad, is dancing,” Mr Eazi says. “I already had two lines just watching her. I don't think she knew I was singing about her. There were a lot of girls in the studio that day so, I guess when the song drops, they will be thinking, ‘Which of us was the one?’”  Whoisakin, an elusive, up-and-coming talent signed to Mr Eazi’s emPawa Africa, co-wrote the song and makes a cameo.

AFRODISIAC

Mr Eazi - London Town (feat. Giggs) [Babakins Remix]

London Town (Remix)

MR EAZI is the creative and business visionary leading African music into its future.
As a recording artist, the Nigerian multihyphenate is the voice behind afropop hits “Pour Me Water,” “Skin Tight” (featuring Efya) and “Leg Over,” as well as groundbreaking collaborations with the likes of Beyoncé, Bad Bunny and J Balvin. A serial entrepreneur, he’s also the founder of emPawa Africa, a talent incubator program which funds and mentors emerging African artists, and the digital music aggregator emPawa Distribution — initiatives hailed by CNN, Rolling Stone, Billboard and Forbes for their forward-thinking approach. Mr Eazi’s ascent into global stardom has seen him clock over 4 billion streams worldwide, making him one of the most streamed African artists worldwide. 

Born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria and raised in Lagos, Mr Eazi began his music career while attending college in Ghana, where his side hustles included promoting concerts and running a concierge service shuttling wealthy kids to parties. His first-ever recording, made on a whim, became an accidental local hit, prompting him to self-release a mixtape, About to Blow, in 2013. Blending touches of Ghanaian highlife music and Pidgin slang with Nigerian chord progressions and R&B vocal inflection, he soon developed a mellowed-out spin on afropop which he dubbed Banku Music, after the popular Ghanaian comfort food dish. 

After returning to Nigeria to work a corporate job in engineering, Eazi decided to make music his full-time focus, using a $1,000 gift from friends to fund the video for his breakthrough 2015 single, “Skin Tight.” Arriving just as afrobeats was exploding into global consciousness, Eazi quickly became an international figure, performing across Africa, Europe and the United States, pouring his travels into the critically-acclaimed  mixtapes Life is Eazi, Vol. 1: Accra to Lagos (2017) and Life is Eazi, Vol 2: Lagos to London (2018). These projects and their resulting hit singles, along with Eazi’s fashion-forward personal style, helped land Eazi in the pages of Vogue, THE FADER, Paper and other influential outlets. 

Fiercely independent and digitally savvy, Eazi has resisted opportunities to sign with major record labels, instead choosing to operate his own companies and steer his own fate. Since establishing his career, he has answered the call to mentor and support other emerging artists from Africa. Taking inspiration from his own experiences participating in tech incubators as a young entrepreneur, he launched emPawa Africa in late 2018. In its first round of investment, emPawa Africa provided US$300,000 —or US$3,000 each — in funding for 100 artists from 11 countries, launching the careers of rising stars like Nigeria’s Joeboy and Ghana’s J.Derobie. The initiative’s success led Eazi to form additional companies like emPawa Distribution, the first digital music aggregator focused solely on servicing African music to the global market; and emPawa Live, a college concert series, to support this growing ecosystem of talent. 

2019 proved to be a watershed year for Eazi, on several accounts. April saw him make his debut at Coachella, where he was one of only two African artists to play the world’s most prestigious music festival. He was featured on two tracks from Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift album, and appeared alongside Latin superstars Bad Bunny and J Balvin’s on "Como Un Bebé," from the duo’s collaborative album Oasis. He has started 2020 once again on a high note, releasing the striking video for “Kpalanga,” and collaborating with DJ Neptune and Joeboy on “Nobody,” which has topped charts across several African countries while reaching #7 on Billboard’s World Digital Songs Sales Chart. One Day You Will Understand, a four-song EP of mellow afro R&B followed that Summer, with another EP, Something Else EP released in 2021. In May of 2020, Eazi appeared on the cover of Billboard’s Africa Now issue, the U.S. music bible’s first ever issue dedicated to African music. Forbes Africa also included him in its annual 30 Under 30 issue spotlighting the continent’s young thought leaders. 
Always thinking beyond music and looking at the bigger picture, Mr Eazi has founded and financed groundbreaking business ventures through Zagadat Capital, an pan-African venture capital fund whose motto is “Investing In Cool Shit.” Through Zagadat Capital, he invests mainly in Africa-founded tech startups that look to solve fundamental problems. Among these is pawaPay, an Africa-focused peer-to-peer payment platform which he invested in through its $9 million seed round in 2021, and which he believes could potentially reach a $1 billion valuation in the next two years. As a public figure with a large platform and voice, Mr Eazi believes it is duty to advocate for his fellow creatives and entrepreneurs.  
Even as he grows his business empire and doubles down on his goal of expanding opportunities for African creatives, Mr Eazi has not lost his thirst for creating music. In 2023, he will be releasing two full-length album projects. The first of these, titled Chop Life, Vol. 1: Mzansi Chronicles, was released in May 2023 and is the debut album from ChopLife SoundSystem, an Afro-dance music collective consisting of Mr Eazi and DJ Edu. 
After two mixtapes, two EPs and over 4 billion streams, the Nigerian afropop star will finally release his debut solo album, The Evil Genius, on Oct. 27. In a first-of-its-kind fusion of African music and art, each track on the project is represented by a unique, physical art piece, which Mr Eazi commissioned from a different contemporary African artist as he crossed the continent recording the album.

Creating a multi-sensory experience that transcends traditional electronic music.

Babakins is a multi-genre producer from County Laois, Ireland. Babakins started his music career in 2018 when he and some friends used to get together and make hip-hop music, but gradually became more interested in the production side of it, rather than rapping. 

He began making hip-hop beats on GarageBand iOS and eventually moved on to Logic Pro X, where he really started to level up his game. Babakins continued making hip-hop beats and rarely dabbled in other genres.

 In 2023, he released his first dance track “Spirit”. Not only was Spirit his first release on all platforms since 2020, it was also his first time being played live on radio. DJ Jenny Greene of RTÉ 2FM came across his track “Spirit” and played it on her show in December of 2023. Since then, Babakins has made 15+ radio appearances on shows such as iRadio, Spin1038, Liffey Sounds FM and many more. He started out the year of 2024 with a list of goals, one of those being to have 5 radio appearances by the end of the year and had already beaten his goal in a short time. 

Babakins released his first song of 2024 titled “Business”, with Midas. “Business” originally started out as a Tyga / Club type of song, but every time Babakins listened back to it he felt as if there was something missing. On Christmas Day of 2023, he once more listened to Business and decided to challenge himself by remixing it into a house song, and the rest is history. Since the release of Business, Babakins has released several singles and dropped his Debut EP “Duality”. His most popular song on all platforms goes to his track “Who let the cows out?”, amassing thousands of streams on all platforms and also gaining some popularity on TikTok. 

2024 has been a big year for Babakins so far, and leaves him excited for what is to come in the future. He loves making music and still to this day, makes beats and not just dance music. He dropped one of his biggest & best songs in May with Xodrew, called “Losing Touch”. 

There is no shortage of creativity in the mind of Babakins, whether it be incorporating famous Irish Pop Culture into his songs, or thinking of unique names for his songs. Babakins takes making music very seriously, but also has a good sense of humour when it comes to naming some of his songs (Who let the cows out?, Robogarda, Lost Mary). 

Babakins is definitely one to watch for the near future, as his music grows in popularity each day and he continues to upgrade his production abilities with every release. He hopes to start DJ’ing soon and get some gigs under his belt to really become a staple of the music industry.
