Mr Eazi shares new music title ADVICE today September 1st, 2023. It’s along with the title for his long-awaited, decade-in-the-making debut solo album. Don Eaz is the latest artist to be featured in Vevo`s original content series Ctrl., with a stirring, defiant performance of the drill-infused “Advice”.
“Advice,” produced by Ghana`s M.O.G. Beatz, is the third single from the freshly-named The Evil Genius, set for release on Oct. 27, 2023. The 16-track album will be showing a whole new side of Mr Eazi aka Banku Lord.
He recorded “Advice,” with its dark, grimy tones, during a particularly heavy moment in his life, as he watched some of his longest-held relationships crumble under the weight of his success. “When you first come up as an artist, everybody is in love with you,” Mr Eazi says. “Then they want to draw you down. People begin to betray you. If you’re able to survive this stage, you go untouchable. But this is the hardest stage.”
The lyrically-dense “Advice” namechecks a number of African martyrs including former Democratic Republic of the Congo president Joseph Kabila and Ken Saro-Wiwa, a Nigerian writer and activist whose 1995 hanging inspired domestic and international outrage. “I was coming from a place of having that energy,” Eazi says.
