\u201cTrust me, this album is more energy because you feel different after every track, after every song.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
King Perryy begins, speaking of his much anticipated debut album Citizen of the World<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe way I work, music is a universal language. So when I listen to a beat, I tell a story about the way I\u2019m feeling. Every song has a different feel. As long as the beat speaks to my soul, it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s reggae, hip-hop or whatever. The most important thing is it speaks to my soul. And once it speaks to me, I speak to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Citizen of the World<\/em> is one of the more ambitious projects coming off the continent in some time. King Perryy, the young hitmaker behind tracks like \u201cContinental Boy\u201d and \u201cMurder\u201d featuring Teni, as well as more recent cuts that made their way onto the album including, \u201cWork n Grind\u201d and \u201cMan on Duty\u201d, has set out to create his own breed of Afrofusion entitled \u201cContinental Sound”. The results are staggering. In the 17 track debut we find King Perryy bouncing between reggae, drill, Afrobeats, Afropop, dancehall and more. Moreover it feels effortless, and each stab at a different sound is convincing enough to be a chart topper in its own right. Featuring the who\u2019s who in both production and features, Citizen of the World<\/em> is a bold attempt by an artist not willing to settle for a single lane. We spoke with King Perryy to unmask the Continental Boy and delve into the many inspirations and concepts behind the massive debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhile growing up my Dad used to introduce me to all different types of music.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n King Perryy says of his early influences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe woke up every morning to different styles. I knew that on Monday I was waking up to Fela. I knew on Tuesday I was waking up to Bob Marley. Wednesday I was probably waking up to Sean Paul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
