Music producer Jeff Tennyson Quaye, popularly known as Jay Q, has detailed how doing ‘jama hiplife’ increased the financial fortunes of Buk Bak and other hiplife artistes.
He told Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z that a lot of the hiplife musicians did not make gains from their music until the release of Buk Bak’s ‘Sika Kokoo’ album.
“We were lost as hiplifers because Bukbak had released two songs but they were still struggling, VIP, everybody. You know around the time it was a hustle. Whether rap or hiplife would survive at the time, nobody knew. But the highlife artistes were making it.
So when we did the ‘I am going to come’ album, with that particular song ‘Kluu Blofo’ and Bright sang “sebe oo sebe”, I could hear exactly what I had in mind,” he said.
He added that at that time, Bright who was a hard core hiphop artiste didn’t really buy into the idea.
