Bella Shmurda in new EP DND, demands privacy

Reputed for his conscious and relatable Afrobeats music that reflects his love for philosophy and religion, Dangbana Republik President, Bella Shmurda, has released his anticipated Extensive Playlist (EP) titled DND via his label in partnership with ONErpm.

 “I’m just in that ‘do not disturb’ mood right now, where I want to get myself together, without too many external influences. Self-control is important for my approach to music; so trying to be in my headspace is key,” he added. 
   
The project opens with the braggadocious In Charge, which sees Bella Shmurda letting listeners know that he is still in charge, doing his thing, and still his boss, while the joyful dance track Ara sees the singer in a prayerful mood as he thanks God for supporting his ventures and blessing all that he does. 
  
Non-Stop Vibes (NSV) is pure vibes on a track as the title suggests, just as Bankruptcy sees the Afrobeats star wax lyrical about spending all his money on his leading lady, with the project drawing the curtain with the infectious track Jojo with its groovy dancehall sensibilities.

Asked how the songs on the EP came together, Bella Shmurda said: “For Ara, my producer LarryLanes came through with a beat he knew I would love, so we just had to make that song, shout out to LarryLanes. While for NSV, I went over to Tiwa’s studio to play her a couple of songs, and she loved ‘NSV’. So we created space for her to get on it, and the outcome was amazing. 
  
“With Bankruptcy, Pheelz and I linked up at my studio and we made like three songs that night, and as for making Jojo, Baddo (Olamide) wrote the song out for me, and we made the song together – he is one of the industry’s greatest songwriters, so the song is definitely one I wanted on DND.”
