For over five years, the music industry has felt the absence of a true pioneer—Eze One. The Nigerian-Ghana-based musician, actor, and entrepreneur, known for his bold and controversial hit Anago, seemed to have disappeared without a trace. The mastermind behind the legendary Loud in Accrashow and the genius behind anthems like Regular, Higher We Go (feat. Tinny & Jupitar), and We Are The Best (feat. Shatta Wale) left fans wondering: Where did he go?
Rumors spread like wildfire, speculation ran rampant—but the truth is finally out. Eze One wasn’t lost; he was on a mission. The king was in the shadows, sharpening his sword, refining his craft, and preparing for the ultimate comeback. And now, he has returned—stronger, wiser, and more powerful than ever!
In an exclusive sit-down, Eze One finally broke his silence on his prolonged absence.
“I wasn’t lost. I was evolving.”
While the world waited, Eze One was leveling up—earning his Law (LLB) degree, gaining knowledge to protect the culture that shaped him, and preparing to reintroduce himself with a force the industry isn’t ready for. But this isn’t just about his personal journey; it’s about a movement.
According to Eze One, Ghanaian music is at a crossroads. In a bold statement, he declared:
“Dancehall and reggae are not Ghanaian music. Hiplife is not just a trend; it is the heartbeat of Ghana’s sound. We must protect our culture, honor our pioneers, and stay true to our roots.”
He paid homage to the true architects of Hiplife—Reggie Rockstone, VIP, Obour, Tic Tac, Tinny, Yoggy Doggy, Kwame Owusu, Okonfo Kwadei, and many others—stressing that today’s artists must understand their history to shape the future.
And to prove he’s not just talking, he’s bringing something monumental to the table—a brand-new album that will shake the industry to its core.
With his signature fusion of Afrobeats, Hiplife, and Hip-hop, Eze One’s comeback album Happy With You tells a story like never before.
The first track, Street of Lagos, offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into his journey—from the struggles of the Lagos streets to his rise in Ghana’s vibrant music scene. This album is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a declaration of resilience, passion, and the unbreakable spirit of an artist who refuses to fade into the background.
Will Happy With You bring back the golden era of Hiplife? Will Eze One reclaim his throne?
One thing is certain—the king is back, and he’s not here to play. Stream below;
