Mr Eazi and Legendury Beatz Share 3-Part 'Zanku Leg Riddim'
The Nigerian artists just dropped a pulsating new soundtrack for us to hit the zanku to.
The zanku is the dance of the moment, and with that comes several beats and "riddims" catered for the intricate dance.
Mr Eazi and popular producer Legendury Beatz are the latest Nigerian artists to offer a song tailor-made to hit the zanku to.
On their new project "Zanku Leg Riddim" the musicians share 3 versions of the core track "Zanku Leg." Mr Eazi is joined on Mr Real on the first iteration of the song, and Zlatan on the second. The third version is a pure instrumental, allowing for Legendury's production to shine on its own.
