Nigerian artist Edmula, signed to MULA MUSIC, is set to captivate listeners with his latest single, "City of Lagos." This track is not just a song; it's an expression of love for the vibrant city that shaped his life and inspired his music.
When asked about the inspiration behind "City of Lagos," Edmula shared, "What inspired me was the people, and in my school days after closing, when walking back home, I had to save my transport fare to buy different types of things. I was so in love with the vibes that made me fall in love with my city, and I’m proud to be a city boy." This deep connection to the city is evident in the song, which captures the essence of Lagos' energy, culture, and spirit.
The creative process for "City of Lagos" was as unique as the city itself. Edmula described it as a journey that was "never in a rush, no pen, no paper—just one line at a time in my head. That made the song come out beautiful. I’d say it was like a freestyle because I already got my hooks and verses memorised in my head." This organic approach to songwriting gives the track an authentic and raw feel, resonating with anyone who has experienced the hustle and bustle of Lagos.
Edmula wants listeners to feel the rhythm and poetry that define rap through "City of Lagos." "That’s what rap is all about," he says, emphasizing the importance of storytelling and rhythm in his music.
MULA MUSIC is excited to release "City of Lagos," a track that is sure to resonate not only with Lagosians but also with fans of authentic Afrobeat and rap music worldwide. The single is now available on all major streaming platforms.
