Popular Singer and producer, Mr Eazi has released his highly anticipated album, ‘The Evil Genius.’
Recorded between several African countries, Europe and U.S. that include Republic du Benin, Rwanda, Ghana and Nigeria, Mr Eazi dives deeply into subjects like love, betrayal, loneliness, and family, in ‘The Evil Genius’ as expressed through three distinctive acts.
The record label executive also features other music acts like Angelique Kidjo, Tekno, Efya, Whoisakin, Joeboy, and Soweto Gospel Choir on the album.
He also worked with producers that include Kel-P, Knucks, Michael Brun, Andre Vibez , Yung Willis, Nonso Amadi, KillBeatz, M.O.G Beatz, E Kelly, Type A, Stikmatik, Phantom, Beat Butcha, Venna, and KDream on the project.
In a first-of-its-kind fusion of African music and art, Mr Eazi commissioned visual artists from across the continent to create a unique, physical art piece to represent each of the album’s 16 tracks.
As he travelled through Africa, Europe, and America recording the album, Mr Eazi forged relationships with visual artists whose work he encountered along the way. Noting a lack of meaningful collaboration between Africa’s exploding pop music scene and the continent’s fine art creators, Mr Eazi personally handpicked 13 artists, representing eight African countries, adding art curator and patron to his already extensive resume of pursuits.
For the album’s cover art, Mr Eazi collaborated with celebrated Nigerian stylist, designer and photographer Daniel Obasi, known for his work with Beyoncé and Louis Vuitton.
