The group will have UK-based, Kenyan-born Afrobeats DJ Edu as its resident DJ, along with an informal crew of contributing DJs, artistes and producers from across the continent.

Mr Eazi will be the primary vocalist on ‘Choplife Soundsystem’ recordings, and will also serve as its ‘MC’ or what he calls the ‘Minister of Enjoyment’ at live events.

According to Mr Eazi, ‘Choplife Soundsystem’ derives its name from the popular West African pidgin slang phrase chop life, meaning ‘enjoy life’, along with the traditional sound systems that are the backbone of the Jamaican music culture.

In Jamaican parlance, a ‘soundsystem’ is a mobile crew of DJs and MCs, typically financed by a prominent local businessperson, who present music together at public events, such as street parties, clubs and festivals.

This is proven by recent moves by international outfits like producer, Diplo’s Major Lazer, whose project put their own spin on the format, functioning as both creators and performers of original music, as well as a ‘tastemaking’ DJ crew.
