Afrobeats star Mr. Eazi’s ‘absence’ on DJ Juls’ recently released Leap of Faith EP led to some people questioning if all was well between the two.
Eazi has offered an explanation on why he didn’t make the cut on latter’s EP, and also why Juls didn’t produce any of the songs on his Life Is Eazi – Accra to Lagos mixtape in an interview with enewsgh.com.
DJ Juls is credited with producing the sound that is synonymous with Mr. Eazi, and his eventual international breakthrough and success.
Eazi was at the receiving end of scathing criticism by many who thought his refusal to acknowledge Juls’ help in a recent Tidal-produced documentary smacked of ungratefulness.
He was born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and received his elementary and secondary education in Lagos, Nigeria.
Eazi is a product of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and Coventry University with a MSc degree in Engr/Management.
He gained mainstream attention in Ghana with his song ‘Bankulize produced by DJ Juls, and has collaborated with the likes of Sarkodie, Pappy Kojo and Efya.
His other hits include Skin Tight, Anointing, HollUp and Shitor.
Eazi was excluded from the 2016 Ghana Music Awards even though he had a good year. Organizers of the award scheme claimed he could not be nominated he is not Ghanaian.
He was awarded the WAMVA Special Recognition Award by WatsUp TV in the same year, and currently signed to WizKid’s StarBoy Worldwide label.
Eazi won the Prestigious Next Rated Act at The 2016 Headies, and Best New Artiste of the Year at the Inaugural Soundcity MVP Awards/Festival 2016.
