Ckay Is Ready For His Second Coming When **Ckay** released his second EP, __Ckay The First,__ in 2019, he was still ingenious and, for the most part, underrated. He self-produced a large portion of the EP. He had already developed his unique, undefinable sound, which draws inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including sultry R&B and mellow Afropop. ### But that EP would only change Ckay's life and the arc of his career two years after its release. In 2021, "Love Nwantiti (Ah Ah Ah)__,"____ the second song on the EP, found instant and inescapable fame on TikTok. It then became the first number-one song on Billboard's Afrobeats chart and the first Nigerian song to spend 52 weeks on the Billboard charts. It made Ckay an eight-times platinum artist and one of the crucial vehicles by which Afrobeats music found its global roots in the early 2020s. Now, more than six years after its release, Ckay is ready to share a rejoinder to it in the form of his latest EP. Aptly titled __Ckay The Second__ , this new EP, according to Ckay, is a continuation of the ideas and themes he generously explored in __Ckay The First__. Of course, he's no longer the person he was when he made __Ckay The First__. The trajectory of his life has shifted with dizzying speed, thrusting him to the forefront of Afrobeats music's expansion, along with the pressures and demands that come with it. It's why __Ckay The Second__ is a simultaneous attempt at returning to a former self but also slowing down for a second. "I was at a stage of my life where I felt like I had to shed off some old skin and step into a new phase," Ckay tells __OkayAfrica__ just days before the release of the new project. "The headspace was basically to communicate that the first EP was to assert 'I am the first Ckay,' and the second is the continuation of that." ### ### For this project, Ckay prioritizes live instrumentation, a key part of his sound. Here, he maintains the sonic architecture of his previous records. "I'll describe the sound as an advanced version of my signature emo-Afrobeats sound," he says. "I love live instrumentation. I love chords that make you vibe and feel something, as opposed to just making you dance. This EP is no exception. I dived deeper into the emo-Afro sound and took it a step further." Born **Chukwuka Ekweani** , Ckay grew up in a home that nurtured his musical talents. His early days learning hymns and developing a prodigious understanding of music theory helped set him apart as an artist who understands the most technical rules of music and is unafraid to break them. His music process is guided by instinct. There are no set formulas or patterns. "It could be anyway, you know," he admits. "Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music comes first. It all depends. Creativity is something you need to let free. You can't box or tie it down to the process. So I like to let the music flow regardless of the order, music or lyrics or whichever." ### Insert EP Stream ### A much-needed reminder Although Ckay is one of the most important ambassadors of Afrobeats' global ascension, he's also the least recognized for it. It's an erasure that Ckay is deeply aware of but hasn't taken to heart. "I probably don't get enough credit for my contributions toward the advancement of Afrobeats, especially in the Nigerian space," he says. Between 2021, when he blew up, and this year, Ckay's life has undergone an explosion that may have been too much for some to handle. He has scored hits with fellow stars like **Davido** and received a Grammy nomination for his feature on **Janelle Monae's** album __The Age of Pleasure.__ He released his debut album, __Sad Romance__ __,__ in 2022, and __Emotions,__ a genre-bending EP, in 2024. Ckay has also, according to him, grown a lot. The most important part of that growth has been the need to keep pushing and to draw persistence from an unbreakable spirit. "I would say my artistry has evolved. I've learned a lot more than I knew at the time," he says. "Me being more exposed and seeing the impact of my music on people thousands of kilometers away, I think that gives me a different perspective." If __Ckay The First__ was a statement in establishing his name and marking out his creative territory, __Ckay The Second__ is a reminder of where he's come from and a window into where he's going next. More than anything, Ckay hopes that people can relate to the experiences he lays bare on this EP. "I make music about my own experiences and my life. I feel that, as human beings, we're all connected and share similar experiences. So I would say I hope people see themselves in me basically when they're listening to the songs, and they relate to the experiences."

Fun Fact: Love Nwantiti by Ckay is an Alte song. What folks don't know is that Ckay was very much a part of the Alte movement and his mainstream stuff is just not as good.
