Mr Eazi and DJ Edu Enter ChopLife SoundSystem Era with “Wena”

Choplife Soundsystem, the music supergroup consisting of Mr Eazi and DJ Edu makes its debut with a new single. The group leverages Mr Eazi’s vocal strength paired with DJ Edu’s jockeying skills. The group will gain further support from a crew of contributing DJs, artists, and producers sourced across the continent.

Wena flaunts a futuristic, deep afro-dance sound. It is produced by DJ Tárico and continues the Amapiano wave that Mr Eazi has surfed on his latest singles. It features the South African Ami Faku, who delivers a heartbreaking message in Xhosa, as Eazi responds in English. Theirs is a story of would-be lovers who never quite consummate their connection, a tragedy that can only be resolved in the glow of the dancefloor.

Wena is the lead single taken from the forthcoming mixtape Choplife Vol. 1: Mzansi Chronicles. Out 28th May, the full length project sees the pair team up with a host of producers, DJs and vocalists on what is one of the most exciting and unique projects in global dance music in years.

This innovative new pan-African Soundsystem, inspired by the likes of Diplo’s Major Lazer, seeks to offer a modern, African twist on Jamaican 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.

Speaking on the release, Mr Eazi said;

“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.”
