The Who Is Eazy? Experience | #WhoIsEazyXP

Hello! For those that don’t know, I have been working on my debut album for a very very long time now and I’m glad to let you know that we’re so close to getting done with the album.
Most of you thought I was gonna announce the release date and stuff yeah? Well, I just might be doing that indirectly. Allow me to introduce you guys to the “Who Is Eazy? Experience.”

This is simply an avenue for the supporters to experience the whole album live! Yes, it’s exactly what you think. I will be doing a couple of shows to be able to connect and have fun with you and also to promote the album as well.

The last time I headlined an event was four years ago, I can’t believe it’s been that long. It’s been quite a journey as well, you have no idea how excited I am to be announcing this. It’s a dream come true for me.

We will be bringing the #WhoIsEazyXP to two cities this October, Kaduna and Makurdi (it’s high time we did a show there). It hasn’t been (and isn’t) easy putting the album and these shows together for us all, so many risks and leaps of faith, sacrifices, nights of being totally indifferent about the whole project, disappointments and stuff. At the end of the day we’ve got God so I try my best to leave it to Him and worry less (it’s been tough btw).

All I require is y’alls support in EVERY way possible through out this journey. Let’s help make this dream of mine a reality.
P.S. To my Fam in GHANA, the #WhoIsEazyXP is coming to you guys as well. Stay tuned.

First stop on the #WhoIsEazyXP is Kaduna and I’m bringing the whole squaaaaaaad out! Get your tickets this Monday and let’s all prepare to have an AWESOME time.

Performing Acts: Leo Owan, Jay Mun, Wander Boi, Bie, Chapta 5ive & Pwa’ashino x Rawd (+ Special Guests).

Hosted by: Jakes Tudu x Kayleb Acid.

So many ticket choices each with its own benefits. You can upgrade your tickets as well, start buying asap.

For those wondering what the VIP Pre-Show Party is all about. It’s gonna be EPIC!!! Also, the Q&A will be no holds bar and very REAL. Is there a question you have been dying to ask one of the artists? Is there something you have been longing to say to one of them? Here’s your chance!

Tickets are available at these outlets listed here. VIP tix will not be available on the 1st of October (a day to show day). Standard and Regular tickets will be available on concert day at the door. Please don’t be late!!! I can’t wait to rock with you guys. Help spread the word. – Eazy Wesyd.

Eazy Bob Wizzy – “X” (Prod. by Eazy Bob Wizzy)

After announcing his debut album months ago, Eazy is finally ready to release new milk.

“In a world where everyone is told what to become so as to be accepted. I would rather be myself and be rejected. I don’t want to be another clone on earth but rather to be the best me I can be. The me God has called me to be.

For my first single, I wanted it to be about me and what I’m about (my message), and I also wanted it to have a catchy hook and I think I was able to achieve these goals.

If you’re familiar with me or some featured verses I’ve dropped recently then you know I’m all about ‘being yourself’ regardless of what others might think of you. This is exactly what the song is about. Being comfortable with who you are, being the real you, being XtraOrdinary.”

The new single titled “X” which stands for XtraOrdinary, was produced by Eazy Bob Wizzy and engineered by Rasco at B.A.M.E. Studios.

#NowYouKnow

Hello there, I’m sure you came here looking for answers right? No worries I’ve got almost everything you need right here. First off, when you started seeing a couple of people posting that weird looking logo with some annoying captions what was the first thought that came to your mind? Wish I could hear your reply. Anyways, you must’ve been pretty curios yeah? Nice!

I’m actually glad you were able to follow the link to end up here, it’s either you’re bored, curios, love mysteries, wanna be a part of whatever the logo is about or something.

For those that don’t know it is I, DJ Xclusive…lol just kidding, they call me Eazy Bob Wizzy (Eazy for short) and I’m here to explain almost everything about the logo to you.

On the 31^st of July 2015, I uploaded an announcement video on my Facebook page. In the video I mentioned that I was working on my debut project, the project was to be ready by January but life happened.

I’ve actually been planning my debut project since 2012 (and a concert or two to follow it up as well), it started as an EP then a Mixtape, an EP again then a Mixtape. There was a time I was 100% sure that this was the one. The beats were dope (kinda, hadn’t understood the art of beat mixing yet), lyrics were on point (yeah right!), I was already talking to the homies I was gon’ feature, I and the team were already picturing everything in real-time. Then one day, I was modifying a beat or something and BOOM! I saw the dreaded blue screen with writings in white font (the type you see when a system has been hacked in 1997 movies). My system crashed (the beat was fire lol). All the beats were gone, only had the unmixed versions, graphics too were all gone. It was really a sad week for me.

Right now? I’m actually glad it happened because I’ve learnt a whole lot since the system crashed. I’ve grown musically, business-wise and most importantly spiritually. My beard is the only thing taking its sweet time. I’ve experienced a lot of things also, some good and some bad, some as an individual and some as part of a group. All these things have helped in making this Album what it is.

Wait what? Did I just say “Album,” well yes. Not a Mixtape, not an EP or an “Extended EP” or whatever terms are used to make everybody know that “this is not an album” lol. A lot of us artists are kinda scared (maybe?) of putting out an ALBUM at a particular level for various reasons, some want that debut to be power-packed with dope features, dope beats, they have to be 90% sure it’ll be on the billboard charts and so on. Well this is gonna be my debut album, released independently by the label X-Rekordz. And it has all that power-packed stuff too lol.

The album is gonna have two versions; The Free Version and the iTunes Version (which includes 3 bonus tracks). Yes, there will be physical copies too (start saving to support the movement).

I am hella excited right now, I hope you are too.

Oh! The logo! Well, those dots and dashes are actually a Morse code for W I and E. “WIE?” Is also a bit visible on the logo, you must’ve read it as “W13?” right? Anyways, you’ll get to know more as time goes on.

Now you must be wondering; “what does ‘WIE?’ mean then” I’ll give you a few seconds to guess.

WHO IS EAZY?

No, I wasn’t asking. That’s the title of my album yo, wasn’t hard to guess since I like my name right? Lol.

“Who Is Eazy?” is gonna be a journey. You guys are gonna be listening to a whole new Eazy and I mean it. Some might have a hard time vibing to this album because, most artists when creating try to see if the listeners/fans/radios/blogs are gonna feel this but I didn’t consider that. Instead I made music I felt because I believe there is no greater joy than seeing people vibe to what you enjoy, what you really created from the heart.

Prepare to be amazed. I’m actually proud of myself and also everybody that contributed in making this album, they really delivered. I can’t wait for you to hear this.

You’re gonna have to be on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Periscope and iTunes to enjoy and be a part of the journey. Expect plenty visuals too.

#WhoIsEazy is the official hashtag of OUR album (yes, it’s OUR album now).

About the release date, I don’t wanna announce it now and then my “Oga” at the top will say another thing, just know that it’s on the way.

More updates are coming, make sure you subscribe to the mailing list so you can access exclusive content and be the first to get updates directly to your mailbox (click here to join). Help spread the word. I’m glad you were able to read up to this point. You’re one of the reasons I do this, thank you.

Finally!!! *insert trumpet sound here

The first single will be releasing on the __ of July. Get on the mailing list and you gon’ get a chance to listen to the single before it drops.

Help tell the world. Share this post and also increase the confusion by posting the logo but when asked direct ‘em here. Thanks #XtraOrdinaries.

It’s officially #EZSZN now.

Leo Owan x Cris Kester – Laba Laba

The butterfly is a beautiful creature. It has a combination of beautiful amazing colors and yes, it flies. The colors of the butterfly in this song represent life; the good times, the trials and challenges, the love, the hate and most importantly God (the Most High).

The fact that the butterfly flies, represents achievements and going/achieving greater heights in life.

In essence this song describes life, dreams and aspirations using a “Laba Laba” (“butterfly” in Yoruba, a language in Nigeria). With the beautiful colors of life you can fly around the world and achieve what ever dreams you’ve got.

This is a soothing song that will definitely give you the “feels”. The voices of Cris Kester and Leo Owan are perfectly laced with an awesome beat produced by CASTOR BRIDGE popularly known as Kossi.

You know, people do not know everything about you and this is because we don’t walk about with our challenges and battle scars written on our foreheads, except you want to indulge in self-pity and make it known. Or maybe you are one of those unfortunate people with physical evidence (I am so sorry about that).

But I remember, as a teenager after secondary school with no admission yet and ‘errands’ was the school I attended while my imaginations kept me busy. I remember how I didn’t want to be a liability to the loving people around me – I needed to be a man for myself and buy those ‘small small’ things by myself. So I met a friend, and we spoke about it, he introduced me to his ‘oga’ and every morning, due to the situation at hand, there weren’t any source of money because I intentionally wanted to become a man so I did not ask for money. We would wake up early, do our chores, get ready and go to the railway. Oh! Life is not fair in this part of the world, I saw old women and men, little babies and mothers , wearied and frustrated-but strong- fathers, jobless graduates and hustlers waiting, waiting for the train. That train.

It didn’t mean much to me then because, I was part of them. I was standing too and waiting.

I was waiting to run, and grab something, push someone and not care if they got hurt or got crushed (because the train waits for no one and that is how life is. Nothing waits for you. Nobody will wait for you, so if you are still waiting for a ‘ginger’ to start that great idea God has given you, just remember my brother, Terry G is doing a different song right now) …I was waiting to STAND all the way in the train, because it was already filled up with people and goods from where it came from. I was ready for all these. I was ready for that train.

Each time I did this, I said to myself ‘mehn, guy…your children will never go through this kind of wahala.’ And I would look at the faces of the people in ‘that train’ with me and wonder, ‘what’s going on in their minds? How’s life with them? What is their hope for a brighter and better future?’ I got no answers.

You see, life in general is like a ride, you know some people already started before you, some gave up along the way, some died and some reached their “DESTINY’NATION” and rested. I guess the things we go through during this ride are the road bumps, the accidents, the checkpoints (because of some situations) and the lack of fuel.

Over the years, I realized that we are all on a train to somewhere, a train that will lead us to our dreams, it doesn’t matter what you do, who you are, your background, rich or poor, we all have dreams – even if it’s just settling down and raising three kids – to some people, that’s a dream and there’s nothing wrong with that.

These dreams are the things we hope for, while the trains are ‘what we engage in’. I like to put it this way. So, I guess all those weeks of jumping on and off the train for me was – IS – a means of God telling me something, giving me an idea – a personal perspective about life, and that’s why I wrote a song titled ‘Dreams and Trains’ (yes o! Hahaha, it’s a song I wrote all these things for, forgive me).

The song is a simple song that I really love and respect, it talks about what we go through and the hope for tomorrow because of the presence of God in our lives. It encourages me and I believe it will encourage you. I have my brother Cris Kester on it, and I am sure you will love the part he says “so when we stay without food, know that we’re fasting and when things are kinda slow, know that we’re resting. “

I can’t wait to share this project with you, and I believe it will be a blessing to you for/in a very long while. It drops on the 20^th of June, 2015. Save the date.

Thank you.

– Leo Owan.

XtraOrdinaries – Love Jail

Who are the XtraOrdinaries? Eazy Bob Wizzy, Young-Ben, Leo Owan and You make up the XtraOrdinaries.

Love Jail is a song that talks about God’s love for us. It talks of how wide and strong it is, to the extent nothing can take us away from it. Our love for God cannot be compared to His love for us. Because He loves us whether we love Him back or not, His love for us is unconditional and we’re locked in it. It is the most awesome and secure prison that exists. We don’t need to do anything to be in His Love Jail, we were born in it

Produced by Eazy Bob Wizzy, Mixed and mastered at Pixcity Studios by @CkayYor.

LYRICS

Verse One

Phone rings I got a text, and it’s from the boy Drex

Text says “Yo! I got a party, so come make we flex”

And I’m like “Yes! Finally I get to roll with the coolest dudes in my set”

Don’t wanna mess this up, so I gotta be cool and I gas to show myself

By that I mean show off, be the guy that they want me to

Pretend to be a bad boy so all the girls would want me too

Don’t have much, but they gotta think I live in luxury too

Next I’m at my cousin’s house, borrowing money for new shoes

Hollup! I’m at the party and yeah I’m chilling

Finally with the cool cats, yeah we in the building

Mehn I’m having so much fun outchea it’s killing

But little did I know that literally, it was killing

‘Cos I’ve never ever smoked some weed before, but I had to

I’ve never ever touched a girl before, but I had to

Deep down I thought I had no choice but really, I had two

Be fake and be accepted or be real and be rejected

Verse Two

She be fine girl but she no know, ‘cos dem dey mock her nose

She wanted to fit in so bad, she took attention off her nose

“How?” you ask, mehn she did it by taking off her clothes

On Instagram she gets thousands of likes, when she strikes a pose

She’s stuck in the numbers game, seeking likes and followers

And even on the campus the thirsty guys, they followed her

Finally she’s been noticed, finally they’ve accepted her

But they all fake ‘cos they won’t love her, for the real her

Good girl gone bad, blame it on insecurity

Every night she cries, ‘cos really she ain’t enjoying this

She hides behind a mask ‘cos she doesn’t like what the truth is

She broke her promise to Dad *gasp she lost her virginity

She’s never slept with several men before, but she had to

She’s never broke her promises before, but she had to

Deep down she thought she had no choice, but really she had two

Be fake and be accepted or be real and be rejected

Leo Owan – Free of Charge

Been a while we heard stuff from Leo Owan, maybe a feature but this time he’s back with a song titled “Free of Charge”.

#FoC is a song that talks about the love of God . And the blessings it brings. It shows reasons why we should extend that love to people around us and also to God. After all, we don’t deserve God’s love.
