Budding Afrobeats singer, Akachukwu Uche, aka Mmzy, has said he made his debut Extended Play album, Ascent, with the intention to motivate ‘beaten but not broken’ Nigerians, especially youths.
He told
Sunday Scoop, “The EP is an eight-track multicultural, multidimensional and appealing body of work that chronicles the struggle of an average Nigerian youth trying to make something of themselves in a country that offers nothing easy for them. It is a motivational ‘tonic’ to lift the spirits of beaten but not broken Nigerian youths.
“It is all about a poor boy ‘ascending’ from nothing to being a superstar. It is about believing in one’s dreams and working towards it. Fans should be expecting new music videos from me anytime soon.”

In the single which dropped January 15, 2021, both Mmzy and Seun Kuti took the Nigerian government apart for their ineptitude and inability to address many social and political ills besetting the country.
Mmzy who is signed to Kerae Records says he featured Seun Kuti in the single for his long history of activism, his mastery of saxophone and of course because he is a Kuti, son of the late Afrobeat legend and creator, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti

Worried by the state of the nation, Kerae Records music act, Akachukwu Emmanuel Uche known musically as Mmzy, has sent out a message to the government in his new single Animal. To drive home his point with a touch of activism, he had Afrobeat artiste Seun Kuti, a widely known music activist, on the single.
“I want to be one of the voices that speak the truth about the state of the nation. I want to be the voice of the voiceless and the disadvantaged people for both the young and the old. It is high time we made the government know we know the truth and call them out to change their ways. We should let them know we are not going to keep calm anymore,” he said.
