Mohammed Abdul-Ganiyu is a young composer, singer, rapper and performer who asserts that Hip-Hop is not a new phenomenon in this country and that its current impact here is as strong as that of Dancehall.<\/p>\n
\n
Speaking with Showbiz<\/strong> recently, he said the effective blend of \u00a0Hip-Hop and Afro-pop to create a new synthesis of Hip-Hop is captivating and gaining more ground in this country, \u00a0especially among the youth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe young acts of today got caught up in the frenzy of what their predecessors were doing with Dancehall. Shatta Wale fused a \u2018jama beat\u2019 into his Ghanaian Dancehall style to suit his brand and it is working well for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a similar vein, those into Hip-Hop are also injecting new stuff to keep the genre afloat,\u201d the young artiste said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fareed, as he is affectionately called by his fans, presents a mixture of Afro-Pop, Hip-Hop, Hiplife and R&B which \u00a0can be felt in his mid-tempo and danceable third single rendered in Hausa, Goga featuring Edem.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Though of Dagomba extraction, he speaks fluent Hausa because it is commonly spoken in his Accra New Town neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The song was produced by Masta Garzy with some support by his road manager, Mode Dee of Bamba Records.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His latest single has come after one titled Alhaji which didn\u2019t do well enough on the market due to promotional problems.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been working on the Goga project for a while now. The song\u2019s accompanying video was released last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Videos for Alhaji and my other song called Zaafi are also done, I can say it hasn\u2019t been easy at all. It has been a marathon process of trying to find my rhythm, all geared towards my upcoming album.<\/p>\n
