Acclaimed ensemble Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 has released a new single, “DJB,” marking the third release off their forthcoming album, ‘Na Dem,’ set for release on November 6, 2026.  “DJB,” which means ‘Devil Just Busy’, is one of the introspective compositions on the forthcoming record. 

Anchored by a dark, resonant Afrobeat groove of remarkable depth and intensity, the track confronts the encroaching shadows that threaten to engulf contemporary society. The single delivers a powerful meditation on the forces that seek to overwhelm the human spirit. 

This mid-tempo Afro-Folk offering follows earlier singles like “Na Dem” (featuring Tom Morello) and “Problems” (featuring Kabaka Pyramid). The three singles have offered glimpses into the forthcoming album’s ambitious scope. “DJB” is produced by Femi Koleoso of Ezra Collective, and engineered by Samuel Egglenton, mixed by Dan Parry, and mastered by Stuart Hawkes at the renowned Metropolis Studio in London. 

The single benefits from Koleoso’s vibrant and exacting production, which infuses the music with contemporary vitality while remaining deeply rooted in the enduring traditions of Afrobeat. With “DJB,” Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 continue to broaden and refine their already formidable sonic landscape.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ It follows Seun Kuti’s critically acclaimed 2024 album, ‘Heavier Yet (Lay The Crownless Head).’
