As fans are patiently waiting to hear the song, it is expected to keep both artistes
relevant in the music industries of both countries.

Timaya
is a Port Harcourt born Nigerian musician and has not less than four albums to
his credit. He is known for hit songs. He started out with a couple of early
collaborations with some underground artistes and was a back-up singer for
Eedris Abdulkareem.
He
was featured in an unreleased video by UDX, a rap group based in Lagos. His
first major hit was the song ‘Dem Mama’, an account of the 1999 destruction of
Odi, a riverine community in the oil producing Niger Delta, by soldiers hunting
down militants who were alleged to have killed eight policemen.
The
village was burnt down and numerous people killed. Timaya bravely tackled the
topic years later and won instant street credibility for his boldness. He is
currently one of the reigning top artistes in Nigeria.
Tinny
needs no introduction in Ghana’s music industry. He has also been in the game
for long.
Born Nii Addo Quaynor, he is a performer, producer, writer and
rapper. He had smash hit with his ‘Makola Kwakwe’ album after his debut. In
2007, Tinny was picked by MTV to have his video for ‘Incomplete’ shot by world
renowned director Rachel Watanabe-Batton. This track was taken from his ‘Aletse
Ogboo’ album.
Barely
a month ago, he released a music video for his ‘Something Something’ after the successful
release of the video for his hit track, ‘Anaconda’ some five months ago.
The
video for ‘Anaconda’ has been doing well on prominent video charts across the
country’s TV networks.
