Bongo flava star Diamond Platnumz to drop first ever EP on March 4

Diamond Platnumz has sent his die-hard fans in a state of frenzy as the bong flava star announced the release date of his first-ever extended play record, usually referred to as an EP.

An EP is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single but fewer than an album. EPs generally contain four or five tracks and are considered "less expensive and time-consuming" for an artist to produce than an album.

An elated Chibu Dangote on Saturday, February 19 took to his Instagram account to share the expected cover art of the EP.

He then went ahead to ask his 14.1 million followers to guess the title of the upcoming EP. "YES! March 4th, 2022 My first EP in Music Life... Guess the title?" read the caption.
