Seun Kuti is a Nigerian musician, singer, and songwriter renowned for his captivating performances and socially conscious
music. He is the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. Seun has spent most of his life preserving and extending his father’s
political and musical legacy as the leader of his father’s former band Egypt 80. As a developing saxophonist and percussionist,
he entered the formal ranks of the band before he was 12.

In 1997 when Fela passed, in fulfilment of his father’s wishes, Seun assumed the mantle as head of Egypt 80 and he has run it
ever since. As a musician and pan-African activist, Seun has been involved in a number of campaigns in recent years, including
#OccupyNigeria and #EndSARS – a social movement against police brutality in Nigeria. Significantly, he’s revived the Movement
of the People (M.O.P.), the political party his father set up in 1979, which was quashed by the military government
not long after Fela’s failed presidential bid.

‘Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head)’ is the highly awaited new album by Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 and it’s set to make waves
globally on October 4th via Milan independent label Record Kicks. Coming 6 years after the Grammy nominated album ‘Black
Times’, this album marks a pivotal moment in Seun Kuti’s illustrious career, showcasing his evolution as an artist and activist.
Executive produced by legendary musician Lenny Kravitz and Fela Kuti’s original engineer Sodi Marciszewer (artistic
producer) and featuring special guests Damian Marley and Sampa The Great, ‘Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head)’
promises to deliver a sonic experience like no other. With both Kravitz’s and Sodi’s expertise together with Seun Kuti’s
unmatched talent, the album is poised to redefine the boundaries of contemporary music while staying true to the roots of
Afrobeat. The first three songs extracted from the album are: DEY feat. Damian Marley (submitted at this year’s GRAMMYs
Awards®️ / ‘Best African Music Performance’), T.O.P. and Stand Well Well.

During his career, Seun Kuti released 4 albums with Egypt 80: ‘Many Things’ (2008), ‘From Africa with Fury: Rise for Knitting
Factory Records’ (2011), coproduced by Brian Eno and John Reynolds, ‘A Long Way Beginning’ (2014) and the Grammy
nominated ‘Black Times’ (2018) that included a feature from Carlos Santana. They also released numerous EPs. Seun has played
for enthusiastically receptive audiences globally and collaborated with many great artists. In 2022, he joined forces with Roots
frontman and MC extraordinaire Black Thought in the EP ‘African Dreams’. In 2023, Seun collaborated on Janelle Monae’s ‘The
Age of Pleasure’ (Grammy nominee for Album Of The Year) with the two singles ‘Float’; and ‘Knows Better’;, teamed up with
Talib Kweli and MadLib for their album ‘Liberation 2’ on the song ‘Nat Turner’ featuring Cassper Nyovest and released a new
version of the single ‘Bad Man Lighter’ with Black Thought, featuring Vic Mensa.
