In a groundbreaking fusion of African music and contemporary art, Mr Eazi commissioned visual artists from across the continent to create unique physical art pieces for each of the album’s 16 tracks.

To accompany the album release, Mr Eazi has invited the public to experience the music alongside the art at multi-sensory exhibition listening experiences. The first two exhibitions took place in Accra, Ghana and London, and more activations will be announced soon.
The album cover art, created by renowned Nigerian stylist, designer, and photographer Daniel Obasi, draws inspiration from the composition and themes of The Last Supper and David’s prayer of Psalm 23. It reflects the central themes of love, hate, friendship, and betrayal explored in The Evil Genius.
Completing the album rollout, Mr Eazi has already released several singles including Legalize, Chop Time, No Friend, Advice, and Fefe Ne Fefe.
