Gambo Shines Light on Ghanaian Culture in “Drip” Remix
Ghanaian rapper Gambo makes waves with the release of the “Drip” remix, featuring none other than American hip-hop legend Jim Jones and fellow Ghanaian artist Edem. The track, which is a remix of Gambo and Edem’s 2021 hit “Drip,” is more than just a catchy song – it’s a cultural celebration.
“Drip” remix is a vibrant anthem that uses hip-hop to showcase the richness of African culture to the world. The song and its accompanying music video serve as a powerful reminder for the diaspora of their heritage, with the artists honouring their “ancestors” through the concept of “African Drip.”
The visuals are a stunning display of Ghanaian culture. Gambo, Edem, and Jim Jones are all decked out in beautiful traditional Ghanaian costumes, a dazzling display that puts Ghana’s vibrant culture front and centre for a global audience.
Jim Jones, a true hip-hop heavyweight, is especially eye-catching. Dressed in a colourful, custom-made Ghanaian Kente cloth and styled like royalty, he embodies the spirit of the song’s message.
This collaboration isn’t just about music; it’s Gambo’s intentional effort to celebrate Hip-Hop’s 50th Anniversary while promoting Ghana’s rich history and beauty. Gambo, Edem, and Jim Jones have created a work of art that not only entertains but also serves as a potential tourism booster for the country.
“Drip Remix” is just one track on Gambo’s recently released EP, “1Mb.” The 6-track Hip-Hop project features an impressive lineup of Ghanaian talent, including Kofi Jamar, Edem, Fortune Dane (who also produced the EP), E.L., Nova Blaq, and Tanzania’s G Nako.
