Chevelle FranklynJamaican gospel singer, Chevelle Frankyln is set to storm Ghana in grand style on October 2. She is scheduled to headline a unique praise concert, alongside some notable Ghanaian artistes, in which the music for the day will be solely presented in an island-flavoured fashion, typical of the Caribbean- reggae and its variations.

The concert is an initiative of IAT Productions, the music outfit of Ghanaian contemporary gospel singer, Minister Danny Nettey, as part of his quarterly Secret Place Worship programmes which  are build up concerts to his annual grand December concert, ‘Christmas with Danny Nettey and Friends’. The concert will hold at the National Theatre.

Chevelle Franklyn, the guest artiste for the concert dubbed ‘Highland Prayz’, made a sensational shift from her flamboyant career as reggae and dancehall artiste to a minister of gospel in reggae at the peak of former career after having shot to worldwide fame with hits such as ‘Nice and Naughty’ and ‘Dancehall Queen’. She declared this on stage during a grand reggae and dancehall concert and remembered, ‘I was about to sing ‘Dancehall Queen’ and I just said to the crowd, I can’t do this,’ and I started bawl. The people were staring at me. I said there is a song that I want to sing, Kirk Franklin’s ‘Silver and Gold’, so I sang that on stage and never want back to my dancehall ways.’

After her conversion, Chevelle committed to singing and recording only gospel music in the reggae and its variations vein. She has become a household name in the Caribbean, UK and the US for her reggae gospel niche which reveals her vocal prowess with awarding winning albums and hits to her name such as her ‘Joy’, ‘Victory’ and ‘His Way’ albums plus hit songs; ‘Come’, ‘Would You Go?’ and ‘Touch From You’.

‘Highland Prayz’, will feature host minister, Danny Nettey and colleague ministers Pastor Helen Yawson, Cwesi Oteng, Kojo Oppong-Adjei and Joe Mettle. Tickets are selling for GHc 25.00 at Silverbird Lifestyle Store (Accra Mall), Sunny FM, Joy FM, Batsona Total filling station and as well at the gate.

Ice Spice remix stamps Cash Cobain’s “Fisherrr” as the Song of the Summer

Published

on

Ice Spice

Billboard Rookie of the Month, and multi-hyphenate NYC star, Cash Cobain has just linked up with Ice Spice for the long-awaited video remix for “Fisherrr”(feat. BaySwag) [18m+ Streams]. After bubbling the past few years with R-rated anthems over his own ethereal production – creating the playful “sexy drill” sound that he’s pioneered and taken to mainstream heights, Cash Cobain is stamping himself as a serious song of the summer contender with this remix.

Following up his two smash singles “Dunk Contest” (8m+) and “Fisherrr” (pronounced, ‘for sure), Cash is primed for his moment in the spotlight ––  hitting 1M Monthly Listeners on Spotify, Top 3 NYC Shazam Charts, having occupied the #1 + #3 slots of the NYC Apple Music Charts, hitting #45 on the Urban Radio Charts and counting, and now landing Ice Spice’s third feature ever  –– in the words of COMPLEX, “the summer of 2024 is looking very slizzy”. On the highly-anticipated remix, Ice Spice is simply in top-tier shape.

Adding her signature magnetic ‘it-girl’ flair, charming cadence, and instantly-coinable one-liners, she bolsters the lightning-hot single into astronomical territory with the opening lines –– “Got an attitude but I’m feelingless, so I ain’t mad at you, And I’m tatted too on this fatty-tude, I’m the baddest boo”.

The long-overdue collab from the two Bronx natives is seamless, with her being a tailor-fit alongside the ethereal, dreamy production and silky smooth verses from Bay Swag and Cash. With the recent releases of “Dunk Contest” (watch Genius ‘Open Mic’)  and now the Ice Spice-assisted remix for “Fisherrr” (feat. BaySwag), Cash Cobain is using his collaborative momentum from last year to continue elevating his signature sound, showcasing its influential and ever-growing widespread appeal in the process. In the words of Cash:“It’s a beautiful record. It feels amazing, it feels like NYC is back stronger than ever with me and Spice -– two Bronx legends. Get ready for the song of the summer.” 

Last month, Cash took over NYC with his birthday show, ‘Slizzyfest’ at Irving Plaza –– a night that was slated as a stacked lineup of NY’s finest, with rumors of an A-list superstar surprise set. After chatter spread online and the hype reached a fever pitch, the crowd became too much to handle and the show was ultimately canceled –– but Cash wanted to give the fans their money’s worth so he ventured into Union Square and threw a makeshift show with his crew, a Bluetooth speaker, and hundreds of adoring fans (read ‘I Went to Cash Cobain’s Slizzyfest and All I Got Was That Classic NYC Feeling’ via Rolling Stone + statement in Billboard).

Also in Billboard, Cash recently teased potential collaborations with Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, Don Toliver (seen filming a music video here), Lil Yachty and more –– a surefire sign of the worldwide stardom soon to come. These recent releases arrive on the heels of a career-defining year in 2023 that closed with the production of PinkPantheress“Nice To Meet You” (feat. Central Cee), which debuted at #20 on Billboard Hot 100 (he also starred alongside her in a nationally-syndicated Apple commercial for the new MacBook).

This was preceded by producing Drake’s “Calling For You” (feat. 21 Savage), which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, DJ’ing at Travis Scott‘s Cactus Jack x Audemars Piguet event, and releasing his critically-acclaimed debut solo album Pretty Girls Love Slizzy with Giant Music.
