Rocky Dawuni in his latest interview on Gh One TV has urged citizens to stop politicizing everything. In his words, doing that limits the growth of the country and creates more room for banters. 

“Democracy isn’t just about political parties or belonging to a certain divide. It’s about speaking truth to power. We should encourage people to be patriotic citizens doing what is right and helping build a better Ghana”, Rocky explained. 

He was on GhOne TV’s morning Programme “Xpressive” with Bliss Kingg and Jackie on Monday, December 21st. Various topics were discussed from religion to politics, music and family life. 

Mr. Dawuni has been to his hometown recently to honor a festival of his village, Bunbon, in the Yendi Constituency of the Northern Region of Ghana. He met with local Chiefs, traditionalists, and indigenous music talents at the festival while shooting a documentary for his upcoming tree planting initiative in lieu of his role as United Nations Ambassador for Environment Africa. 

Rocky Dawuni released his maiden EP “Voice Of Bunbon” (Volume 1) on November 30, 2020 — it’s an 8 track album with a fine blend of Highlife, Reggae, Dancehall, Soul, Afrobeats — what he beat describes as “Afro Roots” music.

“Ghost Town” was the first video released off the EP with a second one titled “Beautiful People” soon to be released.

Watch “Ghost Town” here on YouTube:

We lost a big part of our history, regardless of what political divide you belong. Jerry Rawlings is a huge loss to us. My condolences to the Family. He was very instrumental in introducing the democracy we have and still trying to perfect.

Afro-Pop and Dancehall music duo Reggie N Bollie are set to release their 2^nd studio album titled CLARITY on New Year’s Day, Friday 1^st January 2021, After 3 years of hard work, consistent releases and performances across the UK and around the world as independent artists, Reggie N Bollie are back with a very solid body of work to affirm their place in the global urban and Afro-pop music scene as a strong force to reckon with.

The British-Ghanaian Afro-pop duo believes their 2^nd Album CLARITY is a testament to their versatility and unique musical sound. The album is undisputedly their best work yet, drawing inspirations from their life experiences, cultural background, and music influences. The duo believes this album could become a blueprint for the ever-evolving Afro-pop and Afrobeats music in the UK and across the world. Looking at the success of their first album which won them several awards in Europe and Africa and also received an endorsement from the President of Ghana in 2018, Reggie N Bollie is poised for more success in 2021 and beyond.

CLARITY means a lot us, the duo said, after several years of experiencing fame, family, industry and challenges, we can clearly see what life as black artists from Africa with humble beginning and big dreams is all about, we can finally see between the blurred lines, the highs and the lows, the love and the hate, the sheep and the wolves, the loses and the gains, the fake and the real, the smoke screen is gone and we can see everything crystal clear.

Reggie n Bollie have come a long way since being mentored by Cheryl Tweedy on ITV UK’s X-factor show and becoming 1^st runners up in 2015, they went ahead to sign a record deal with Simon Cowell on his label Syco Music in January 2016 and released their smash hit, “NEW GIRL” which peaked at no.5 in the UK iTunes Charts right behind Beyonce and Drake at the time, number 26 in the Official UK Charts and number 8 in the Scottish Charts. After working with Grammy Award-winning Jamaican dancehall artist Beenie Man on their first album titled Uncommon Favours in 2017, they also went ahead to write songs for other artists including the “Cheerleader” hitmaker Omi. The song was released in the summer of 2020 by Sony Music’s sub-label Black Butter.

The album features 22 songs including infectious hits like Blessings, African Dancehall Party and more thought provoking tracks like “Broken Dreams”, “Clarity” and “Can’t Control We”.     

                                PRE ORDER AND LISTEN TO #CLARITY HERE:

DJ Lord releases his first music project of the year, a song titled For ‘D’ Pain, for this yuletide. Similar to the majority of songs that are released during the festive period, this is an afrobeat song set to make waves this season. 

As suggested in the title, this song is one that triggers listeners to bump their heads. Though simple in words, For D Pain is a song that many can relate to. In as much as the story line suggests the stress of wooing a lady, one can equate it to this year. 

The year has been a very interesting one, and despite the ups and downs negativity, it is a wonder many have endured and December is the time to have a period of reflection and enjoyment, for the pain. 

He recruits Offei as well as Teflon Flexx for this Christmas banger, produced by Baba Wvd.
