Alashi Eniola, also known as Chazy, the Media/PR rep for Sean Dampte and the Savage Music label has re-iterated that the UK based music star, Sean Dampte will not be relenting on his game and he will keep firing on. He is not reneging on his promise to take the African sound a new level.
He is no doubt continously building on his previous classic projects as he steps forward with a new collaborative project. On the verge of his third full length project and the third series in his ‘Awoodah’ EP series, which is set for release next month, UK-based Afropop and Afrofusion artiste, SEAN DAMPTE, is excited to unveil his massive new single titled ‘PEPE’ featuring fellow UK-based afrofusion artist NIZZY and Nigerian rising star BUJU, who recently featured on the deluxe version of Wizkid’s ground-breaking album Made In Lagos and collaborated with Mavin Records’ Ladipoe on one of the biggest songs of the year ‘Feelings’.
Dampte, while revealing the inspiration behind his new ‘Pepe’ single, he said: “Sometimes I find it difficult to fully express myself without my mother tongue, which is Yoruba. ‘Pe’ is the Yoruba word for complete and ‘pepper’ is Nigerian street slang for money, so the song title ‘Pepe’ is short for expressing that ‘Pepper pe’.
He, however, further expressed that the song is also an assurance for her woman that he is capable to foot all her bills regardless how much. “Essentially, the song is me letting my woman know that I’ve got whatever it takes to give her whatever she wants because my money is complete – of course with help from Buju and Nizzy”.
Championed by the likes of MTV Base, BET, TRACE and Apple Music, while also having shared the stage with afrobeats royalty such as D’Banj, Wizkid, Davido and Wande Coal, Sean Dampte has been foundational and a staple fixture in the rise of afrobeats music in the UK, and is revered for his stellar fusion sound of afrobeats, dancehall and pop music, which has birthed such hits as ‘Alignment’, ‘You Can Call Me’, ‘2Nite’ and ‘Energy’, to mention a few, and amassed over 12 million plays along the way.
