EZ Papi’s (@therealezpapi) newest single, “Werk It”, is the perfect song leading up to the warm weather and this Miami-based artist is on a mission to make sure the spring and summer season is Papi season!
“Werk It” is a single where listeners can get a feel of that Caribbean and Dancehall sound. Much like his musical influences, such as Beenie Man and Sean Paul, EZ Papi shares with Remixd Mag that the single “was inspired by African and Jamaican women whining their bodies and rolling their hips.” The single is definitely something that will have the ladies vibing and feeling themselves on the dance floor.
EZ Papi is no stranger to bringing the heat in his music either. Additionally, he has songs such as “Boricua Morena”, “Go Low”, and “Find Your Love”, that all deliver that infectious dancing energy, and his music videos are just as enticing.
“The reason I’m so passionate about music is because it’s good for the soul! Music saved my life if you only knew what I came from. Also my fans and supporters inspire me the most! It just feels like I’m walking in my destiny because it’s what I love to do!”
With that said, make sure to add EZ Papi to your summer playlist now because he definitely won’t disappoint.
