Consumer Guide Reviews:

Life Is Eazi--Vol. 2: Lagos to London [Banku Music, 2018]
Lite, pitch-corrected Nigerian college grad sings Nigerian-Ghanaian "banku" ditties of pleasing if varying catchiness over a keybish electro-simulated "band." Enhancing various tracks in their special if imitable ways are Diplo, Chronixx, and others. Check the foreshortened intro "Lagos Gyration," the Burna Boy-guesting "Miss You Bad," and a love song called "Property": "Baby all of my property/All of my property/I give you authority/I give you authority/If you go down like economy/Economy/Baby you go follow me/Follow me." I note for the record that Mr Eazi has been said to be dating the daughter of a Ghanaian billionaire. B+
