about

A must-listen for anyone who appreciates genre-defying, boundary-pushing music from Africa, Ekiti Sound is back with the highly anticipated new single Chairman, out 31 March on Crammed Discs.

Tipped as a modern slice of afrojuju and electronica, Chairman is the first single off ‘Drum Money’, the sophomore album from Lagos/London-based artist Ekiti Sound. Picking up the pace as if it never left, Ekiti Sound teams up with Nyege Nyege’s first lady of rap, Aunty Rayzor, to deliver a snare-rattling, Harlem renaissance-eque first statement from his upcoming LP.

Riding on top of horn blasts and drum rolls, Leke opens the track up in pidgin running the Chairman Checklist, swiftly followed by Aunty Rayzor carrying the verses to hammer home the point. Her sharp lyrics and rapid Yoruba flow adds an electrifyingly dynamic element to a beat that is sure to get everyone moving.

Chairman pays musical homage to the childhood music of Ekiti Sound, afrojuju, and seemingly spirals upwards in a crescendo of horns, fast percussive beats, dance commands, and soaring synths. Ekiti Sound brings together the best elements of afrojuju, afropop, rap, and electronica music to create a track that is sure to increase anticipation of the new album ‘Drum Money’, out June 23 on Crammed Discs.
