Nigerian music phenomenon Kwate is back with an electrifying new project titled ‘Shout Out to My Ex’, a fusion of Afro beats, hip hop and dancehall that is sure to captivate the crowds.
The EP embodies a narrative that is both personal and universal. Tracks such as ‘IGHO’, ‘GREEN CARD’, ‘Shout Out to My Ex’ and ‘Sarah’ weave stories of resilience, empowerment and freedom.
For Kwate, the term ‘ex’ goes beyond intimate relationships, it symbolises breaking away from everything that hinders our progress. “This EP is my victory song,” says Kwate. “It’s about turning away from the negative – poverty, jealousy, toxic relationships – and moving towards a better version of yourself.”
For this project, Kwate has enlisted some of the biggest names in the music industry. Collaborations with Portable, Magnito and Blaq Jerzee infuse the EP with dynamic creativity, promising listeners an unforgettable sonic journey.
Since his early hit singles “Party Dey Here” and “Baby Give Me More,” Kwate has continued to captivate fans around the world. With performances in over 100 countries and accolades such as a nomination at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), Kwate has firmly established himself as a global Afrobeat icon. His music transcends borders, blending rhythmic precision with poignant storytelling.
As such, ‘Shout Out to My Ex’ promises to spearhead a new wave of music, blending traditional influences with modern sounds to deliver a rich and memorable listening experience. Kwate continues his quest to cross cultures and genres to better celebrate the unity and diversity of contemporary African music.
