Milli Cautions: "Don't Ask Me What Happened"
While signed to Chocolate City, the highly rated 23-year-old artiste and songwriter Milli was preparing the release of his first body of work, the “Childish” EP, which never dropped.
Instead of “Childish”, Milli has released as “Don’t Ask Me What Happened” today, an EP with seven tracks, five new ones in addition to ‘Unlooking Uncensored’ and ‘Animals After Dark’.
“Don’t Ask Me What Happened” is distinctly New School. The EP features some strong Hip-Hop and some dark Rap, alongside tracks that include loftier R&B vibes; but it’s Milli’s signature Trap-influenced New School sound that is the key common denominator across all songs.
While “Don’t Ask Me What Happened” is Milli’s artistic way of getting over the label break-up and coming to terms with the industry, don’t expect any bashings or tell-all songs, rather, Milli’s EP is setting out to make a point that there is an emerging New School sound in Nigeria, and that the versatile singer, rapper, co-producer and leader of the Up Next Movement is truly about setting his art free, without wanting to be limited to one particular genre.
Milli is featuring the 20-year-old PatricKxxLee on two tracks, the up and coming Zambian rapper and producer, who many refer to as “Africa’s Travis Scott”, and who is also the main producer of the “Don’t Ask Me What Happened” EP. Apart from ‘Unlooking Uncensored’, which was produced by CKay and Reinhard, the EP also features an opening and a closing track produced by Surulere beat maker Beats By Jayy.
