Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 – Problems Ft. Kabaka Pyramid

Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 link with Jamaican reggae artist Kabaka Pyramid on “Problems,” a fresh collaboration merging Afrobeat and roots reggae. The track blends hypnotic rhythms, rolling percussion, and Egypt 80’s signature horn arrangements with both artists’ vocal power. Produced by Femi Koleoso of Ezra Collective and mixed by Riley MacIntyre, “Problems” tackles systemic injustice and the struggles of marginalized communities worldwide.

The release arrives as the B-side of a limited 7-inch vinyl, paired with “Na Dem,” Seun Kuti’s politically charged collaboration with Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine. Before the official vinyl drop, “Problems” got an early live preview during SWS Session 001 at Soundwall Studios in Rome, which premiered through Billboard Italia. This pairing reinforces Seun Kuti and Egypt 80’s commitment to socially conscious music.

Seun Kuti carries forward the legacy of his father, Fela Kuti, the Afrobeat pioneer. His catalogue spans Grammy-nominated albums like Black Times and collaborations with artists ranging from Carlos Santana to Lenny Kravitz. Each project deepens his range across political commentary and genre fusion.

Pairing with Kabaka Pyramid shows Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 reaching beyond Nigeria’s borders to find common ground with Caribbean consciousness. Have you heard “Problems” yet? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
