Nigeria, Sept, 23., 2016 – Following the release of Burna Boy’s Pree Me single, the anxious anticipation of the release of the Redemption EP by fans & music buffs has finally ended.
The singer has finally dropped the 7-track EP today, the 23rd of September, 2016 as he teams up with former record label mate and Nigerian producer, Leriq.
The anticipation for the EP release was not a fruitless endeavour as the Afro-fusion act hits the right mark with this absolutely tremendous EP featuring songs like Redemption, Pree Me, Body to Body, and Fa So La Ti Do among others.
As a follow up to the successful release of the EP, Burna Boy is set to give UK fans a rare treat as he performs at a concert at the Eventim Apollo, United Kingdom on the 1st of October, 2016.
Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ogulu, is an Afro-fusion and Dancehall recording artist, songwriter and performing artiste, born to Bosede and Samuel Ogulu in Port Harcourt on the 2nd of July 1991.
Burna Boy rose to prominence in 2012 following the release of Like to Party, the first single off his debut album “L.I.F.E”- Leaving an Impact For Eternity which was released in 2013. The L.I.F.E album is critically acclaimed as one of the best projects out of Nigeria. In November 2015, he released his sophomore album titled “On A Spaceship” to rave reviews.
Burna Boy is one of the few figures in the Nigerian music industry with a distinct and unique voice that can capture the imagination of any listener, and this has aided him in his rise to global prominence.
The Original African Don Gorgon, as he is also referred to by his fans, has worked with several A-list Nigerian and international artists such as the legendary 2Baba Idibia, Wizkid, Davido, Sarkodie, Dbanj, A.K.A, and many others.
