Afropop Artist Young Jay Releases Latest Single, ‘Eziokwu’

Iwuh Ifeanyi Justice is an Afro pop artist from Nigeria who performs under the name Young Jay. Young Jay’s latest single, ‘Eziokwu’ is a song of heartbreak, despite the upbeat and summery nature of the music.

Originally from Akur Ondo, but growing up in Aba, in Abia State, in Nigeria’s southeast, he signed with P. London this year, which has enabled him to have international success. ‘Eziokwu’ was written out of the love he feels for an ex, despite her parents having been against the relationship and wanting it to end. Young Jay’s heart is well and truly on his sleeve as he sings with passion and deep emotion.

You can hear more of Young Jay’s music on Spotify, YouTube, and his official website. Follow him online on Twitter, and Instagram.
