Mr. Eazi & DJ Edu release ‘Wena’ video featuring Ami Faku – First Official ‘Choplife Soundsystem’ music video
Global afrobeats legends: Mr Eazi and Kenya’s very own DJ Edu share the first official ‘ChopLife SoundSystem’ music video of “Wena”, featuring South African singer Ami Faku – one of South Africa’s most streamed artists.
“Wena” is a definitive look at the brand new Afrodance Soundsystem, showcasing a future looking, deep Afrodance sound, in the single produced by DJ Tárico. This release continues the Amapiano wave that Mr Eazi has surfed on his latest singles. It features vocals from Ami Faku, who delivers a heartbreaking message in Xhosa, as Eazi responds in English. Theirs is a story of would-be lovers who never quite consummate their connection, a tragedy that can only be resolved in the glow of the dance floor.
Mr Eazi says, “I’m going back to where I started from, hosting the biggest parties at uni. That’s how I started singing. I am looking forward to this new and fun ride, and I can’t wait for all the music to start dropping and the accompanying live experience.”
Out via Choplife Limited, “Wena” is also the lead single taken from the soon to drop mixtape ‘Choplife Vol. 1: Mzansi Chronicles’ full length project that sees the pair team up with a host of producers, DJs and vocalists on what is one of the most exciting and unique projects in global dance music in years (out 28 May). Pre-order the mixtape here.

With a full announcement on the mixtape coming soon, “Wena” serves to wet the appetite for something much bigger, a new movement ready to storm the dance music scene.
