Artiste/Producer Duo – DopeNation are no longer with Lynx Entertainment . This was confirmed by label boss Richie Mensah on 3FM 92.7 (according to Sammy Flex TV) . The label, that is home to two of the hottest Ghanaian Afro Beat artsites Kuami Eugene and KiDi, signed the duo around April 2019. Though the reason for the exit is not known, it is speculated that they were initially given a one-year contract which they refused to renew upon expiration.

Initial rumours that went around indicated that the duo’s label mate , Kuami Eugene, would be leaving as well – he however trashed those rumours and instead indicated that he is happy the duo left in an interview with JoyNews. Kuami Eugene stated that although he does not know why the duo decided to sign out after a year with the label, they are brave to make the decision to work on their own. “I think there is time for everything. If this is the time for them to leave and they have been able to muster courage and be on their own, may God help them and I am so happy for them,” Kuami Eugene said.

Under the label, DopeNation, released bangers such as Zanku and confam (WATCH BELOW)

Successful hit producer Kwame Owusu, known as KaySo (from Tema) shows a more ‘bold and smooth’ side with his new song titled ‘Take It.’ Expressing his feelings for a love interest who is playing hard to get, he croons, “other girls give me attention, but if it no be you I no want am so…”

KaySo pushes the authenticity of Afro sound by crafting this 2:45 minutes tune with a great replay value.  He promises longevity, and money in the lyrics to his love interest whiles showering her with praises.

The ode got a very compact production from the Ghanaian Singer/Producer, who recently signed to Ghanadon music group/ Empire and to be fair Kayso is a pro with it, having produced many hits for the forefront artists in the country.

The song dropped with a video that immediately lightens your mood even further, the scene opens with a familiar Accra Cityscape, a bubbly and energetic young lady as described in the lyrics, even better the expression on her face is one that tells she might be a little more interested than we can imagine. KaySo is seen having fun with it as his mannerisms are nothing short of carefree (I can imagine that just from the choice of fashion), and playful, as best as one can when playing Hide and seek with a love interest.

With the emphasis on colour, tone and moods, the video is a perfect accompaniment to this first single ‘TAKE IT’ off the upcoming EP.

Kayso definitely shows no signs of letting up on the music scene. This feel-good tune (right in time for summer) is something you can catch a vibe to as soon as the beat drops.

Let’s see what the King of Tea BRYAN THE MENSAH brings this time.

Fast-rising Ghanaian singer-songwriter, Jackeline Acheampong, aka Gyakie took to Twitter few days ago to announce her forthcoming project. Titled ‘SEED’, the 5-track EP is scheduled for release later this year to the excitement of many.

For her big reveal, Gyakie expressed in a tweet: ”#SEED is different and experimental. It’s more of me snapping out of my space into a more challenging one”.

Having burst onto the Ghanaian music scene over a year ago, the burgeoning songbird boasts of quite an impressive catalogue of relative hit singles within a very short time: ‘Control’, ‘Sor Mi Mu’, the recently released ‘Nana Nyame’ and ‘Never Like This’; arguably her biggest record yet!

Gyakie made her first impression with single, ‘Love Is Pretty’ and has since gone on a solid run, working with top guns like E.L, Bisa Kdei and Kuvie. In the space of a year, the act has garnered over 1M organic streams with just 5 singles, a feature and cover song on Audiomack, as well as hundreds of thousands more on Spotify and Apple Music, among others. Referring to more feats by the songstress, Gyakie was once a guest on BBC’s ”Focus On Africa”, featured on Red Bull South Africa and Nigeria’s One Tribe magazine, made it on Kuulpeeps’ ”2020 EMERGERS” list, and earned a nomination in the 2020 VGMA ”Unsung Artist”.

Managed by FLIP THE MUSIC, Gyakie is a talented singer whose transparency makes it clear that she draws her artistic inspiration from genuine moments of extreme emotion and experiences of people around her. Gyakie believes African music is a global sound and wants to use her gift as a way of shaping the culture, all with a touch of versatility.

If you’re in eager wait for ”SEED” or haven’t yet heard her alluring voice, what are you waiting for? Go get a good dose of Gyakie here:
