Mr Eazi Unveils New Music Label ‘Choplife Soundsystem’

Mr. Eazi, a celebrity musician, entrepreneur, and global nomad of Nigerian descent, has announced the formation of Choplife Soundsystem, a brand-new pan-African music ensemble. As its resident DJ, DJ Edu, a Kenyan-born DJ with a base in the UK, will be joined by a loose collective of contributing DJs, artists, and producers from all across the African continent.

Mr. Eazi wants to introduce the best of African music to a global audience as both the group’s lead vocalist on records and its MC, or Minister of Enjoyment, at live performances.

The name of the ensemble, Choplife Soundsystem, is a common West African pidgin slang expression that means “enjoy life” in English. This expression captures Mr. Eazi’s optimistic outlook and is also a statement for music that speaks directly to the heart. The ‘soundsystem’ in the name is the traditional soundsystems that are the mainstay of Jamaican music culture. In Jamaica, a soundsystem is typically a mobile crew of DJs and MCs, usually funded by a prominent local musicologist, which presents music together at events such as festivals and street parties.

Mr Eazi as the leader of Choplife Soundsystem intends to mix afrobeats with Jamaican dancehall for a truly unique sound. By assembling a diverse group of African artists, DJs, and producers, Choplife Soundsystem looks forward to introducing a brand new sound to music lovers around the world. Their mission is to create music that uplifts the spirit and brings people together, mixing smatterings of music from all over the continent.

With Mr Eazi’s talent and ambition steering the group, Choplife Soundsystem is sure to become a roaring success. Mr Eazi is already a major figure in African music, having achieved international recognition not only as a musician, but also as a businessman — founder of the groundbreaking music streaming platform emPawa Africa. His reputable career is sure to bring invaluable success to this new crew of African music hopefuls.
