Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, subito dopo l’uscita di “Na Dem”, tornano con il singolo “Problems” feat. Kabaka Pyramid: una collaborazione potente con la star giamaicana del reggae. Il nuovo singolo, prodotto da Femi Koleoso, esce oggi 29 luglio su tutte le piattaforme digitali.

Con questo brano, Seun Kuti rafforza ancora una volta il legame energico e ritmico tra afrobeat e reggae. Dopo aver fatto la storia unendo le eredità delle famiglie Kuti e Marley attraverso la collaborazione con Damian Marley, e dopo un altro brano di grande successo con Alborosie, Seun continua a costruire questo ponte sonoro tra le due sponde dell’Atlantico.

«I am truly thrilled to announce my new collaboration with my brother Kabaka Pyramid on our new single, “Problems.” Bridging the gap between Afrobeat and Reggae, between West Africa and the Caribbean, is always a powerful vibration — it’s not just music, it’s a reunion of the diaspora, a true Live-aspora! Working with Kabaka on this track has been an incredible experience, and I can’t wait for the world to feel the energy we’ve poured into it.

“Problems” hits right at the heart of the everyday human condition. It speaks to the chaotic, contradictory world we live in — no matter who you are, whether you’re a doctor, a lawyer, a lecturer, or a hustler on the street. Everything feels like a puzzle, “hard like Sudoku,” and people everywhere are just trying to navigate the madness and survive the daily stress.

But as the song says, we can’t destroy ourselves over Babylon’s mess; we have to push back, fight the stress, and stand firm in our truth. This record is raw, heavy, and revolutionary. The system is crumbling, the curtains are falling, and we are coming together to make some serious noise. Run this one up, play it loud, share it everywhere, and let’s make sure the world hears the movement. “Problems” is out now — go get it!»
