Ozaki – La Bassamoise

Ozaki – La Bassamoise

Ozaki hails from Grand Bassam, a coastal UNESCO world heritage site just east of Abidjan. Today the town is mostly known for its palm-studded beaches, but it’s also home turf for Ozaki and Le Côté Sud, his collective of rappers, beatmakers, video directors, photographers, painters and more.

Part of a new generation of Ivorian artists inspired by global trap legends, Ozaki’s words are firmly rooted in Bassam and Abidjan’s bustling culture, and this EP is yet another milestone pushing the envelope of the local Ivorian rap scene. La Bassamoise (inhabitant of Bassam) is set to put Ozaki’s hometown on the map. The three tracks on the EP follow a logical progression, and give us a taste of the full length album in the making, also under the guidance of Monda‘s Jeune Lio.

Asi – Sekbi Legacy

 

Fast rising Ghanaian afro soul artist Asi releases her third EP Sekbi Legacy, after the successful release of her two previous EPs Piece of Me in 2018 and Chapter V last fall.

With major airplay across the country and performances with some of the most talented artists in Accra, Asi has been described as a phenomenal artiste with powerful vocals. She’s been recently featured in the tunesXmuse Class of 2021: buzzing artists to look out for by Muse Africa. Renowned media personality Antoine Mensah called her “one to look out for, Asi is tipped for greatness”.

Sekbi Legacy is a collaboration between Asi and lifestyle and fashion brand Sekbi Bogolan. One Chance, the first single off the EP, was released last year gaining buzz in Accra airplays. Asi explains that “all the songs were inspired by what Sekbi Bogolan stands for: a new way of  approaching the African narrative that evolves between heritage and modernity, and lastly, celebrating diversity. In simple words, the Sekbi spirit and mine were aligned.”
