Afrobeat is enjoying a growing appreciation in London where Mr Eazi is also becoming relevant. He is captured in a documentary as he shares a bit more about himself.

In a documentary highlighting the appreciation Afrobeat music is receiving outside the shore of Africa, Mr Eazi reveals himself to be determined - one who tries to to give his mixed audience the best of him.

On Friday, November 9, 2018, the singer dropped a mixtape "Lagos To London" which reflects his improvement since releasing "Accra To Lagos" a year prior.

He is now with vast knowledge about contemporary music and confirms an existing relationship between Afrobeat and the dance culture.

Many music critics believe that the genre has become an influence in the European scene where many African songs have been hitting the clubs. In London for instance where Mr Eazi has found a home.

The crowd love him probably more than the fans in Nigeria as they cheer him to the stage at the Afrorepublik Festival at the O2 Arena in May.

The event was headlined by Wizkid but he also received his share of attention.

"Every time I set a goal, it is like 'what is the next one'?

"Ambition is almost like an addiction. It is a blessing. I'd rather have this kind of addiction than something else."

Mr Eazi's desire for the best has got him experimenting with more sounds. His Afro-pop style was able to find harmony with Lady Donli.

She featured on the opening track 'Lagos Gyration' off the "Lagos To London" release.

It is a befitting introduction to a project that contains diverse sounds and the head bobbing drum that has exemplified Afrobeat music and its pop variant.
