Ghanaian rapper Joey B has blamed Black Avenue Muzik(BAM) boss D-Black for artistes exiting his music record label.

Speaking in an interview on Citi TV, the ‘stables’ hitmaker who’s a former BAM record signee revealed that, D-Black made a mistake by signing too many artistes onto his label.

He added: “I feel like it’s something he should not have done. I feel he bit more than he could chew. Sometimes you need to take your time.”

Joey B also noted that it appeared D-Black was wasting the artistes’ time.

“What you said you would do and what you promised them you could not do it because you are busy yourself. He didn’t really interpret what he wanted to do properly. We are all human beings and everyone wants to move nobody wants to be stagnant,” he further stated.

Yhaw Hero hits the ground running with debut EP “Yours Faithfully”

After garnering so much attention and buzz, Ghanaian artist, Yhaw Hero has finally released his debut EP “Yours Faithfully”. The project is an open letter from the rapper to his fans, as he gives them more insight into his life and his thought process.

Before the EP dropped, fans got served ‘Bra Fie’ and ‘11 Six’. ‘Bra Fie’ was a song of assurance from Yhaw to his mom–who hadn’t seen her son in a while, that he would return once he’s made it on the streets. ‘11 Six’ on the other hand, is a song that delves into the struggles of the youth and the bad leadership that plagues our political space. It’s a song that serves as an advocacy and even a protest of the status quo.

The EP has seven songs and one feature from Nigerian star, Jeriq. It shines nonetheless, thanks to its nifty writing and production. “Yours Faithfully” has been gradually climbing the charts since its release with fans and critics already giving it a positive reception.

Yhaw Hero’s “Yours Faithfully” EP is available on all digital streaming platforms globally here: https://azuri.lnk.to/YoursFaithfully
