Recorded in various cities dear to Mr. Eazi’s heart, spanning Accra, Cotonou, Lagos, London, Los Angeles, and New York over the course of the last two years, The Evil Genius serves as a captivating musical mosaic. This album skillfully weaves together elements of afrobeats, afropop, gospel, hiplife, highlife, and folklore, creating a splendid pan-African fusion sound that is uniquely Mr. Eazi’s signature.
With an impressive international lineup of producers that includes Kel-P (Nigeria), Michaël Brun (Haiti), Knucks (UK), and Nonso Amadi (Canada), the album also features collaborations with acclaimed artists such as the Grammy Award-winning legend Angélique Kidjo, Nigerian sensation Joeboy, and the South African ensemble Soweto Gospel Choir. Together, they breathe life into this 16-track project.
