Zynovox is making a powerful statement with his new EP MIDDLE EAST THE EP. This six-track project, created in collaboration with Omofaaji and producers Blaquebeat and MF Classic, weaves together Afrobeat, Afrodrill, and street-inspired sounds into a cohesive narrative exploring heartbreak, resilience, and celebration. Mixed and mastered by youngjoshy, the EP showcases Zynovox’s versatility as both a storyteller and a dynamic performer.
The project opens with Wahala, an energetic Afrobeat-Amapiano hybrid that immediately commands attention with its infectious rhythm and vibrant performances from both artists. This party anthem sets the tone for an EP that effortlessly shifts between moods and styles while maintaining thematic cohesion. Tracks like HUSTLE and GBERA demonstrate Zynovox’s ability to merge UK Drill intensity with African rhythms, creating motivational street hymns that celebrate perseverance and ambition. The former stands out as an Afrodrill manifesto for success, while the latter captures the grit of urban hustle culture through pounding percussion and determined lyricism.
At the emotional core of the project lies All I Need, a heartfelt examination of romantic loss that contrasts with the EP’s more celebratory tracks. This authentic portrayal of heartbreak showcases Zynovox’s range as both a writer and vocalist. The collection balances these introspective moments with tracks like Big Energy, a confidence-boosting anthem full of bravado, and JENNIFER, a smooth Afrobeat love song offering reassurance and devotion
What makes MIDDLE EAST THE EP particularly compelling is its innovative production approach. The team incorporated live instrumentation, custom sound design featuring authentic street ambiance, and creative vocal stacking techniques to create depth throughout the project. Tracks like HUSTLE benefit from raw, one-take freestyle sections that preserve spontaneous energy, while the meticulous mixing ensures each song translates powerfully across different listening environments.
Zynovox and Omofaaji’s collaborative writing shines through in every track, whether articulating the euphoria of nightlife in Wahala or the determination to overcome adversity in GBERA. This carefully crafted balance between emotional authenticity and undeniable groove positions MIDDLE EAST THE EP as both a personal artistic statement and a potential commercial force within contemporary African-inspired UK music.
MIDDLE EAST THE EP establishes Zynovox as a compelling new voice capable of bridging musical cultures while speaking directly to the experiences of his generation. The project’s fusion of streetwise narratives, cross-continental rhythms, and polished production makes it one of the year’s most anticipated independent releases.
