After years of shaping the sound and direction of modern music from behind the scenes, Nigerian creative strategist and brand architect Yeankeyz is stepping into the spotlight with his debut EP, ‘Evolve or Dissolve’, scheduled for release on December 25, 2025.
Yeankeyz, whose real name is Mayowa Adeyinka Orenuga, has long influenced global music projects and chart-topping artists, though many listeners are meeting him for the first time.
“You don’t know me. But the people you celebrate do. They know my name,” he said, hinting at his enduring impact on the industry.
The EP represents more than a debut, it is described as “an unveiling, a declaration, and a long-awaited coronation” for a man who has helped shape countless artistic visions across continents. Blending Afrofusion, Afrobeats, soul, and experimental rhythms, the project is designed to deliver a cinematic, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant sound.
“I’ve built empires in silence. Now I’m building mine in the open,” Yeankeyz said.
Each track reflects his journey, capturing the joy, hustle, pain, and growth that have defined his career. The EP draws on the wisdom of older generations while embracing the boldness of Gen Z, creating a narrative that is both personal and universally relatable.
The release also sends a message to the music industry: creators who operate behind the scenes deserve recognition. Yeankeyz’s debut asserts his voice, telling his story “not behind someone else’s spotlight… but with full clarity and ownership.”
“This is my rebirth. I carried others for years. Now I’m carrying my name into the future,” he added.
Set for a Christmas Day release, ‘Evolve or Dissolve’ will feature world-class visuals, immersive storytelling, and a campaign-style rollout, reflecting Yeankeyz’s reputation for precision and innovation. According to his team, the EP signals the arrival of a creative force “who didn’t come to participate. He came to stamp. To certify. To evolve.”
