Mr Eazi Drops ''The Don"

Afropop superstar Mr Eazi has released the music video of “The Don” - lead single off his 2021 ‘Something Else’ EP.

The video of the dramatic, opera-inspired slice of afro trap single is shot and directed movie-style by director Babs Direction.

Mr Eazi executively produced the video shot in Ghana, in which he takes on a character of The Don - a revered former convict who escapes from capture and goes on to continue living freely among his people, with ideals like ‘loyalty’ and ‘family’ - which he states in the film’s monologue as paramount in his life.

Mr Eazi weighs into his state of mind at the point of making “The Don”.

“I spent the entire 2020 working on building emPawa Africa and morphing into ‘Don Eazi’, the mogul. I almost had no time to record.” However, he credits his producers on the record: Kel P and Killertunes for the inspiration, adding, “They kept coming to meet me in Accra until I finally recorded “The Don”. That opened the door for me getting back in the studio.” he says.

For Eazi, ‘Something Else’ represents a “calm before the storm” as he continues his journey from the artist on breakthrough projects: Life Is Eazi, Vol. 1 - Accra To Lagos (2017) and Life Is Eazi, Vol. 2 - Lagos to London (2018); to a globe-spanning entrepreneur and thought leader.

He is currently in Ghana, where he has just begun work on his upcoming third album, tentatively titled Life is Eazi, Vol. 3.

‘Something Else’ EP is available on all DSPs via Eazi’s own Banku Music label and emPawa Africa.
