In a surprise move, Nigerian superstar musician, Burna Boy has paired up with the US production duo, DJDS on a joint EP they are calling “Steel & Copper”.
The project signifies the first time Burna and DJDS will be working together as a team. The EP contains body of work that blends trap and pop sounds.
“Steel & Copper” contains only four tracks including “34”, “Innocent Man”, “Darko” and “Thuggin”.
In a recent interview with theScore, a US news outlet, Burna Boy revealed that “34” was inspired by Nigerian-Greek NBA player Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Burna said: “Only a very select few make it playing basketball and him doing what he does and being directly Nigerian- not even like a distant descendant, that is definitely something to be proud of. When he steps on the court, he’s representing a lot more than he even knows he’s representing and I definitely see myself when I look at him. Anyone from Africa who is on the world stage is a big inspiration to all Africans.”
