Ezra Collective have recruited Kojey Radical for ‘No Confusion’, a single from their imminent new record, ‘Where I’m Meant To Be’.
The track follows previous releases ‘Victory Dance’, ‘Life Goes On’, and ‘Ego Killah’, all of which will appear on the British quintet’s second album. ‘Where I’m Meant To Be’ will arrive in will this Friday, November 4th, via Partisan Records.
“Drum lessons with Uncle Tony didn’t just change my life, but Ezra Collective‘s”, explains band leader Femi Koleoso. “The most valuable thing he ever taught me was, always be yourself. Be who you are. Be proud of who you are. When you truly are who you’re meant to be, you have no confusion. Confusion by Fela Kuti is one of the only recorded drum solos by Uncle Tony – it’s so him, no one else could have played it. This track is so us. We’re at a place where we really know who we are as a band – and there’s No Confusion about it.”
