Just as he's about to release his third full-length project and the third instalment in his _Awoodah_ EP series, UK-based afropop artist [Sean Dampte](https://www.instagram.com/seandampte/) is releasing a massive new single called "Pepe (Remix)" featuring afrofusion artist Nizzy and Nigerian rising star Buju, who recently appeared on the deluxe edition of Wizkid's ground-breaking album _Made In Lagos_ and collaborated with Mavin Records' Ladipoe on one of the year's biggest songs, "Feelings." This fusion between the two cultures reflects how popular music from West Africa has become in countries like the UK.
The singer starts delving a bit deeper into his culture and how much of an impact it had on him and his life in general, when he starts talking about his inspiration behind the song. He says, "Sometimes I find it difficult to fully express myself without my mother tongue, which is Yoruba. ‘Pe’ is the Yoruba word for complete and ‘pepper’ is Nigerian street slang for money, so the song title ‘Pepe’ is short for expressing that ‘Pepper pe’. Essentially, the song is me letting my woman know that I’ve got whatever it takes to give her whatever she wants because my money is complete—of course with help from Buju and Nizzy”.
Judging from the support that Sean Dampte has received from the likes MTV Base, BET, TRACE, and Apple Music, while also sharing the stage with afrobeats royalty such as D’Banj, Wizkid, Davido and Wande Coal, the rising start is acclaimed for his spectacular fusion sound of afrobeats, dancehall, and pop music. He has spawned such breakout singles as ‘Alignment,' ‘You Can Call Me,' ‘2Nite,' and ‘Energy,' to name a few, and amassed over four million plays along the way.
His new single ‘Pepe (Remix) with Buju and Nizzy is out now, check it out above!
