Formed in 2015, Ajebo Hustlers quickly established themselves as hitmakers with a message. Their debut album, “Kpos Lifestyle Vol. 1,” and the acclaimed EP “Bad Boy Etiquette 101” showcased their ability to blend slang, and hip-hop rhymes with social commentary. Their 2020 single “Barawo” became a rallying cry during protests against police brutality, further amplified by a remix featuring Davido.

The momentum continued with the nationwide smash “Pronto” featuring Omah Lay. “Kpos Lifestyle Vol. 1” cemented their status as a creative force, weaving social commentary, while delivering it in layman’s terms for the wider audience.

On their latest offering, “Bad Boy Etiquette 102,” Ajebo Hustlers continues the exploration of love, ambition, and the universal struggles of the human condition.

The EP opens with the motivational anthem “Dreams II” featuring BlaqBonez and Zlatan.  Using dreams as their compass, the song chronicles the pursuit of aspirations, urging listeners to persevere. A shift in tone arrives with “Last Week”featuring Jeriq, confronting the harsh realities of addiction and the fight for recovery. Throughout the project, Ajebo Hustlers navigate contrasting themes. “Wicked” explores the lure of temptation, while “Undecided” featuring Raebel tackles the complexities of relationships, capturing the internal struggle between commitment and independence. “Kisses II” featuring Magixx explores heartbreak’s raw emotions and the path to healing. The many moods of love are further explored on “Sweet & Sour” featuring King Promise.

The EP concludes with the electrifying “Burn My Cable II”featuring Sarkodie. Ajebo Hustlers trade verses with the maestro Sarkodie.

Each track on “Bad Boy Etiquette 102” serves as a lesson, aiming to resonate with hearts and minds. Press play, class is in session.

We’re keeping Drake away from the car show because kids are welcome – Rick Ross

Rick Ross recently took a critical stance towards Drake regarding his response to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “The Heart Part 6,” particularly focusing on Drake’s handling of allegations of pedophilia. Ross shared a series of videos on Instagram shortly after the song’s release, resuming his criticisms of his former friend turned adversary.

In his posts, Ross mocked Drake’s lyrics from the track, particularly a line referencing Ross’s private jet crash landing. He then expressed disapproval over Drake’s denial of the pedophilia accusations, urging him to choose his words more carefully on such a serious matter.

“Just heard that new BBL Drizzy. The diss! The bomb! ‘I’ll hold your head up, cut it off like Rick Ross and hold it up. Himalayas! Anastacia! Fantasia!’” Rozay said with a laugh. “Cupcake, man, you looking bad. You might as well go on Maury Povich and tell your story.”

He then expressed disapproval over Drake’s denial that he’s a pedophile, saying: “I just wanna make this clear, white boy. You said if you was fucking young girls you’d promise you would have been arrested. Whoever wrote that for you should have put more thought into that. “White boy, it’s your writers. Whatever message you translated to them, that wasn’t the way they was supposed to do that. And as a writer, went it come to pedophilia, you gotta remove yourself from that. White boy, that wasn’t the line right there.”

Ross also mentioned the possibility of excluding Drake from his upcoming car show due to his background, alluding to the seriousness of the allegations.

“We keeping Drake away from the car show ’cause the kids are welcome. Nobody with that background — no! — shall be allowed on the Promise Landpremises.”

In response, Drake defended himself against Lamar’s claims on “The Heart Part 6,” vehemently denying any involvement with underage individuals. He defended his integrity and refuted any association with illegal activities.

This exchange forms part of an ongoing feud between the two rappers, with Ross leveling further accusations against Drake, including claims of plastic surgery. In response, Drake shared a text conversation with his mother, dismissing Ross’s claims as a result of erratic behavior.

The ongoing tension between Rick Ross and Drake continues to unfold, both in their music and on social media, leaving fans eager for the next development in this hip-hop rivalry.

Some people have blacklisted me in the industry – Lord Paper

Afrobeats musician Michael Takyi-Frimpong, better known by his stage name Lord Paper, is still grappling with the aftermath of a controversial music video shot nine years ago.

The video, released in 2016 for his song ‘Ewurama,’ featured explicit content that stirred up significant controversy and criticism within the country. Despite apologizing to the industry and learning from the backlash, Lord Paper reveals that he is still facing repercussions.

In an interview with Accra-based Metro TV, he shares that he has been blacklisted by some media houses and denied opportunities to promote his music. While acknowledging that some outlets have been supportive, he feels that the industry as a whole is not backing his career.

“The industry doesn’t love and show me love. I feel like if the project is very good, I don’t have to be in your faces. The industry as a whole. I won’t say everybody because some people are showing me love.

“The reason why I am saying this is because I have been to places where I am going to promote my music and they won’t let me in and I have been to places where later I become friends with some of the people who work there and they tell me that in this place you have been blacklisted and that they don’t want us to play your songs,”he disclosed.

Lord Paper expresses frustration at being judged solely for his past actions, emphasizing that he has since apologized, learned from his mistakes, and produced quality music as a form of remorse. He questions the fairness of continuing to face repercussions for a video he created years ago, especially considering his efforts to grow and move forward as an artist.

“I have no idea, I don’t know if it’s still because of the video and if it’s that I feel like it’s not fair in the sense that I was criticized in all manner.

“I went home, did my homework and dropped a lot of songs and some of them made a lot of sense and so from there do you still have to use that thing to judge me, it makes no sense,” he added.
