MR EAZI ANNOUNCES NEW GROUP CHOPLIFE SOUNDSYSTEM WITH KENYA’S DJ EDU 

Nigerian superstar, Mr Eazi has announced the formation of a new pan-African music group, Choplife Soundsystem. The group will also consist of UK-based, Kenyan-born afrobeats selector and tastemaker DJ Edu, as its resident DJ, along with an informal crew of contributing DJs, artists and producers from across the continent.

Mr Eazi will be the primary vocalist on Choplife Soundsystem recordings, and will also serve as its MC — or Minister of Enjoyment— at live events. Choplife Soundsystem derives its name from the popular West African pidgin slang phrase chop life, meaning “enjoy life,” along with the traditional sound systems that are the backbone of Jamaican music culture.

With Choplife Soundsystem, Mr Eazi is putting a modern, African twist on sound system culture, incorporating genres like amapiano and afrobeats to curate the ultimate African party experience— both on original studio recordings and at curated live events.

Inspired to take the vibe and spirit of his successful Ghana holiday party Detty Rave on the road, Mr Eazi “soft launched” Choplife Soundsystem with events in Benin, Sweden and Rwanda, in 2022. “I’m going back to where I started from, hosting the biggest parties at uni. That’s how I started singing. I am looking forward to this new and fun ride, and I can’t wait for all the music to start dropping and the accompanying live experience,” says Mr Eazi.
