Basketmouth and Blaqbonez
Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth, will be dropping the hilarious new track ‘Trolls’ on October 1, 2021, in celebration of Nigeria’s Independence Day, a perfect way to culminate the celebration of African culture at the heart of the EP.
As the final song from the Comedy Central EP, the song, Trolls (Bad Belle), is produced by Duktor Sett and directed by Khris Burton.
It will feature comedian Basketmouth and musician, Blaqbonez, with appearances from Romeo, NasBoy, Nasty Blaq, Kolomon and Brain Jotter.
The music video will be available to view on Comedy Central Africa’s YouTube page and will air on Comedy Central Africa (Channel 122 on DSTV) from Friday, October 1, 2021.
“I am greatly honoured to have worked on this project because it combines two great loves of mine, Comedy and Music, and allows me to shine a fun light on Nigeria.
“There is no better day than Independence Day to drop this addition to the Comedy Central EP as it really does highlight how far we have come as artists and people, as a country and as a continent,” said comedian and musician Basketmouth.
Influenced by the ViacomCBS Networks Africa (VCNA) diversity of channels, the EP has already brought together different African artists from various genres from Amapiano, and R&B to Afrikaans pop. With some of the funniest comedians infusing styles and comedic flavours with a smorgasbord of musicians to create a comic relief mix-pot, it’s as much fun as you can have during a lockdown.
Commenting on the new development, Dillon Khan, Vice President, Comedy Central Africa, said, “It’s the diversity of heritage on the African continent that inspired our creative team to reinvent”funny”.
“Comedy provides us the license to push the envelope by expressing the realities of life in a satirical manner that will either make you roar with laughter or cringe from the artist’s authenticity of storytelling.
