Still very much in his music mafia phase, Mr Eazi goes back to basics this month, by sharing previously leaked single, Rotate on all digital streaming platforms, a move that speaks to his strong business acumen. In the Instagram post that preceded its official release, Eazi revealed that single saturated Africa without an official release, so his decision to share it, is tied to his cutthroat approach to business.
Rotate, from the first lick of pipe-y synth keys and his use of Rastafarian-inspired lyricism is clearly pre-emPawa Mr Eazi, the one whose appreciation for women went in tandem with springy instrumentals and shone through his demeanor. With its Dancehall foundation, Rotate is a potential cross-border anthem that marries Afropop and Dancehall similarities in a way that preps us for the summer season and praises Mr Eazi’s range.
