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 shoot 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.”
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.
