D-Black da Ghana Bwouy a.k.a Yes Boss!, who is arguably Ghana\u2019s biggest hip-hop artist continentally hit his 20th Award nomination ever since he hit the music scene 2 years ago after receiving 5 nominations at the upcoming Ghana Music Awards Festival.<\/p>\n
A great feat indeed for an Anglophone hip-hop artist who burst onto the scene in late 2008 with his group effort with Kwaku-T which saw them release their \u2018TARGET PRACTICE\u2019 Album with songs like \u2018Move\u2019 and \u2018Breathe\u2019.<\/p>\n
Following the success of that Album, D-Black & Kwaku-t decided to try their hands at solo albums which resulted in D-Black setting up a proper business structure for his own label \u201cBlack Avenue Muzik\u201d, securing a distribution deal with Sony Music via Rockstar 4000, recording over 35 songs with an incredible line up of producers and features from 2 Face Idibia, Wyclef Jean, Samini, Sarkodie to Kwabena Kwabena and more, picking his 20 best songs out of the lot and releasing his highly acclaimed debut solo album \u201cMusic, Love & Life\u201d on the 25th of September 2010.<\/p>\n
This album launch was dubbed the biggest one Ghana had ever experienced that year.<\/p>\n
The \u201cMusic, Love and Life\u201d Album by D-Black, 5 months after its release just received 5 nominations at the upcoming 2011 Ghana Music Awards for \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d, \u201cHip-hop \/ Hiplife Artist of the Year\u201d, Collaboration of the Year, Hip-hop Song of the year and Song writer of the year for his songs \u201cSomebody\u201d featuring Kwabena Kwabena and Get on da Dance floor featuring Dr. Cryme.<\/p>\n
D-Black whose story is a grass to grace one, from financial difficulties his family faced growing up with a single mother following the 1996 split of his parents, being expelled from secondary school, kicked of a label and surviving on his own in a bid to follow his musical dreams today now carries the torch for Ghanaian hip-hop all over the world.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s performed at the 2010 Bet Hip-Hop Awards Cypher, The 2010 Channel O Awards, shared stages with Jay Z, Memphis Bleek, Busta Rhymes, Lloyd, Fat Joe, Omarion, Stevie Wonder, Ja Rule, Rick Ross and collaborated with many African musicians including Nigeria\u2019s 2 Face, P Square, Ice Prince of Oleku fame, Kel, Sauce Kid and Banky W, Zimbabwe\u2019s Buffalo Souljah, Rachel K from Uganda, Segal from Gabon, STL and Wyre from Kenya, HHP, Kwela Thebza, Tear Gas and Loyiso from South Africa As well as with Wyclef Jean, Jim Jones and Memphis Bleek from the U.S.A. He was also voted by MNET as Africa\u2019s 2nd Best Anglophone Rapper for the year 2010.<\/p>\n
D-Black tagged as Ghana\u2019s hardest working musician by the media and many industry stakeholders has been nominated a total of 20 times since he began his musical journey at various music award ceremonies from the 2010 Ghana Music Awards, 2010 Sound city Music Awards in Nigeria, 2009 Channel O Awards,2010 Channel O Awards in South Africa, 2010 4Syte Music Video Awards, African Music Awards in the U.K, Museke African Music Awards and most recently the 2011 Ghana Music Awards. May God continue to guide and bless him to lift higher the name of Ghana.<\/p>\n
The Music Video for the third single off D-Black\u2019s Album following the first and second singles Somebody featuring Kwabena Kwabena and Get on Da Dancefloor ft. Dr. Cryme respectively is set to be released on the11h of April 2011 and is titled Asabone (Dirty Dancin\u2019) featuring the godfather of Hiplife Reggie Rockstone.<\/p>\n
D-Black , whose Breathe Directed by GYO of Phamous Philms Video won video of the year last year at the Ghana Music Awards , has his eyes set on winning Big at the 2011 Ghana Music Awards on 9th April and urges all loyal D-Black and GH Rap Fans to vote for him in all categories by texting \u201cD1\u201d \u201cM1\u201d & \u201cF1\u201d TO 1767.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
