Mr. Eazi announces Choplife Soundsystem world tour.
Nigeria singer and songwriter Oluwatosin Ajibade, better known by his stage name Mr Eazi, and his new band ChopLife SoundSystem have just revealed information about its first world tour this summer, which will take place shortly after the release of their first album, “Choplife Vol. 1: Mzansi Chronicles.”
Fans in a few places throughout the world can expect an unforgettable meeting from Mr Eazi.
The Choplife World Series 2023 tour begins on July 7 in Barcelona, Spain, and continues through August in Amsterdam, London, Paris, Berlin, and Stockholm.
The North American leg kicks out on August 25 in San Francisco and includes stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Boston, and New York City. Additional dates, including those in Africa, will be announced soon.
Mr Eazi, a Nigerian celebrity, acts as the group’s head and Minister of Enjoyment, while British-Kenyan selector DJ Edu (of BBC 1Xtra fame) leads ChopLife’s high-energy concerts with a combination of amapiano, afrobeats, and Afrodance sounds.
The mobile sound systems that are the foundation of Jamaican dancehall culture are given a distinctive African twist by ChopLife SoundSystem, which is both a studio project and a travelling rave.
The tour will place this summer in response to the debut album of ChopLife SoundSystem, “Chop Life, Vol. 1: Mzansi Chronicles,” being released on May 26. The 14-track album is a deep dive into the soulful dance music style known as Amapiano, which originated in South Africa and has since become one of the most talked-about new sounds in the world.
Various South African music heavyweights and up-and-coming underground talents, including Focalistic, Anaati, Ami Faku, Moonchild Sanelly, Major League Djz, Mellow & Sleazy, Nkosazana Daughter, 2woshort, Stompiiey, Mo-T, and Aymos, have contributed guest verses to the record.
