Much of The Evil Genius was created in Kokrobite, a beachside village near Accra, where Mr Eazi set up shop with Kel-P and other trusted friends and collaborators in 2021. It was there that Eazi and Kel-P aligned on “Òròkórò,” which boasts one of the album’s most lush arrangements and its most high-profile guest feature, Angelique Kidjo. In an early form, the track featured a sample of the afropop queen’s ‘90s-era hit “Wombo Lombo” on its hook. “Wombo Lombo” became “Òròkórò,” after they recruited Kidjo to sing on the track, and put a fresh spin on the melody. “It so happened that both Kel-P and I were working with Angelique Kidjo at the time,” Mr Eazi says. Both appeared on the iconic singer’s Grammy-winning 2021 album, Mother Nature.
Lyrics are largely in Yoruba, expressing a mix of spirituality and gratitude. “I am saying: What God has done for me in secret can't be quiet, you can see the love God has shown me,” Mr Eazi says. What began as a beat on Kel-P’s computer in Lagos would travel across West Africa, from Nigeria to Ghana and, finally, Benin. “We literally finished it in a house on a lagoon in Ouidah,” Mr Eazi recalls, citing the city in Benin, which also happens to be the birthplace of Angelique Kidjo. “That’s a very spiritual place.”
