“… My stage name is ‘Eshu Tune.’ I came up with the stage name a couple months ago,” said Hannibal on The WGCI Morning Show on 107.5 WGCI. “Eshu is from Nigerian mythology — he’s a Trickster God. So being able to compartmentalize it — I don’t wear red in my regular life. As Eshu, that’s the red, and that brings the energy. So I’m still learning how to perform, and how to do it…”

The new EP sees the comedian transition into music with an eight-song collection that showcases a different repertoire from the entertainer. The project’s subject matter showcases Eshu’s competitive nature on “1-3 Pocket,” a dollar and a dream chaser-tunred-landlord on “Donde Esta,” newfound love as a first-time father on “Kept About 3,” and a Chicago homecoming ready to spaz on “Back In The City.” For debut, Eshu Tune collaborators include talented musicians Haile Supreme, Eryn Allen Kane and Kiefer.
