Fusing influences is something Mr Eazi — who is known as the creator of Banku Music (a combination of Ghanaian and Nigerian sounds and culture) — has made his calling card. “The Evil Genius” is a “pan-African project,” he said, written over two years and recorded in Ghana, Nigeria, Benin and Rwanda, as well as the US and UK. The artwork, too, is drawn from across the continent: with contributions from 13 visual artists from Zimbabwe, South Africa and Benin to Togo, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal and Kenya.
