🎶 New Music Spotlight: Efi Cruise – If You Were Me You Would Be Dead
Nigerian Southern Afro Jazz artist Efi Cruise returns with his boldest work yet—If You Were Me You Would Be Dead, out now. Blending Highlife, Jazz, Afrobeats, and Hip Hop, the album is a raw, emotional journey through survival, love, identity, and resilience.
Featuring standout singles like “My Dear,” “Flavour,” “Lekeleke,” and “Blue Collar,” this project digs deep into lived experience with Efi’s signature grit, groove, and poetic honesty.
Built on percussion-heavy basslines and unexpected harmonic turns, this is more than a fusion album—it’s a statement.
