Rising Nigerian alternative R&B artist EKENE marks a major milestone in his career with the release of his debut EP, Little Us, officially released on July 3, 2026.
Issued through Mother Africa Reigns Supreme (MARS), the seven-track project offers an intimate journey through love, healing, self-discovery, and the emotional experiences that shape personal growth.
With Little Us, EKENE presents a deeply personal collection of songs that blend atmospheric production with soulful songwriting. Throughout the project, he reflects on themes of childhood innocence, emotional healing, family relationships, heartbreak, and the journey toward self-acceptance.
