Road to Sept 12 – Bella Shmurda

Road to Sept 12 EP, Bella Shmurda’s first project since 2023’s DND, expresses the singer’s reflections on the unpredictable nature of death, the disorienting shock of losing a loved one suddenly, and the struggle to navigate through cherished memories while grappling with a perpetual sense of loss.

Following the untimely passing of the beloved Mohbad in 2023, Bella Shmurda played a huge role in honoring the memory of his fellow musician. Shmurda and Mohbad had forged a strong connection years earlier while traversing Lagos’s underground street pop music scene. Their bond provided solace and support for both artists on numerous occasions throughout their careers.

Road to Sept 12 EP is a portrait of the grieving process. While Mohbad is directly referenced only in the fifth track titled – My Brother, the collective essence of the five songs bears witness to his presence and the profound impact they had on each other’s lives.

The EP features guest appearances by Zlatan, Bloody Civilian, and Jeriq, each feature adding it`s unique spice to the project. In times when Mohbad’s absence is deeply felt by many, it is through the medium of music that we can experience a semblance of his enduring presence as if he were still among us.

Take a moment to listen to this heartfelt project below and feel the echoes of Mohbad’s spirit reverberate through Bella Shmurda’s music. Enjoy!
