Today, decorated producer and Afrobeats genius, KDDO<\/strong> (formerly Kiddominant<\/em>) launches his debut EP,  titled \u201cToo Late Too Lit<\/strong>\u201d. The EP released via Pentlife Music and Sony Music Entertainment West Africa is now available on all digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to KDDO, it was at the height of the pandemic, during lockdown, that he realized the need to cherish every moment we\u2019ve got. So he created an EP with feel-good music for himself and his fans to make brand new memories to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is one of the main reasons I put this album together. I want people to be able to create great memories with their friends and families to my music<\/em>. I want my music to be the soundtrack of people\u2019s lives, to remind them of a time in their lives that they never want to  forget. I just want people to have fun and enjoy themselves while they can<\/em>\u201d says KDDO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too Late Too Lit<\/strong> is an 8-track project that spotlights Africa\u2019s basking sound templates with features from the finest acts inside-out. The road to the EP began with the premiere of eWallet<\/em><\/strong>, a stellar Amapiano production with now over 5 million streams across DSPs and 6000+ spins on national radio. The commercial success of eWallet set the tone right for a sequel release, Beamer Body<\/em><\/strong>, which was a team-up with frequent collaborator, Davido on a record that affirms body positivity. Amidst the impressive reception, KDDO moves to unveil the full-length statement to Africa project which is a culmination of Afrobeats, Amapiano, pop, R&B and contemporary high life genres ingeniously curated into his vision of spreading happiness through songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noteworthy too, is KDDO\u2019s appreciable vocal effort on the project as he settles into his artiste element. Having written and produced some of the biggest music hits in Afrobeats history, he is now confidently honing his singing prowess and at the same time offering a spice of variety with super talents featured on the body of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
