Following the recent release of his sophomore EP Ìréti
which has been championed by Apple Music/Beats 1, The FADER, BBC 1Xtra, Capital
Xtra, Red Bull Music, Rinse FM and MTV UK among others, and on the back of his
sold out headline concert at Birthdays last month, British Nigerian Afrobeats
musician and MOBO Awards nominee Moelogo is proud to present the brand new
video for ‘My City’, one of the leading tracks on his Ìréti EP, as premiered
via Complex Magazine.
Instantly a massive favourite among fans and critics
alike upon its release a few months ago, ‘My City’ is a superb Dancehall-tinged
ode to Moelogo’s Peckham hometown. The single was produced by long-time
collaborator P2J (Krept & Konan, Wretch 32, Lily Allen), and co-written by
Moelogo and Ari Pensmith (Wale, Akon, Trey Songz), with UK chart topping
songwriter Ms D (Wiley, Chip, Craig David) and Teni Tinks (Jessie J, Emeli
Sandé) providing additional vocals.
Directed by Kevin Hudson (Link Up TV, Bugzy Malone,
MoStack), the video for ‘My City’ sees Moelogo showing love and respect for the
city of London, while also channelling his spirit animal, ‘The Fox with the
Wave’ as he fondly describes it, to push the record’s central theme of
understanding and acceptance without undue judgement. The video also features a
beautiful opening monologue from London-based Spoken Word artist and poet Suli
Breaks.
2016 continues to be an exciting year for Moelogo, packed
with breakthrough after breakthrough. From massive collaborations with Wretch
32 and Avelino, MoStack and C Biz, to releasing his Ìréti EP to rave reviews in
March, and working with Davido and Sarkodie on his ‘Penkele’ remix, to recently
making his Boiler Room debut, and his sold out headline concert last month.
