Since their breakout six years ago, Ghanaian drill rappers and movement Asakaa Boys have branded the UK genre and made it more attractive to music fans both in Africa and the Diaspora. The group consists of City Boy, Jay Bahd, Skyface SDW, O’Kenneth, Kwaku DMC, Braabenk, Reggie and BeezTrap KOTM.
In their local colloquialism, ‘Asakaa’ is the backward pronunciation of ‘Kasa’ which translates from Asante Twi to English as “Speak”. Riding on drill-infused beats and instrumentals, the rappers convey aggressive messages using their native Twi dialect blended with English and Nigeria’s “pidgin”. They are known for hit songs such as “Cinderella,”
Y3 y3 dom,” “Oh Ma ‘Linda,” “Distance Relationship,” and “Obaa hemma,” among other hits.
Following their debut sold-out concerts in Manchester, Northampton and London in 2023, the young musicians are planning to return to the UK this year.
The Boys announced the forthcoming and much-anticipated concert through a series of promotional videos circulating online. Anticipation is building among fans of the group in the UK.
Scheduled to come off on Saturday the 24th of August 2024, the event will be held at The Clapham Grand, South London. Doors to the concert will be opened at exactly 6:00 PM.
The rappers’ return to the United Kingdom will mark a new beginning in their careers, open new opportunities for them and help them reach a wide range of audiences. It testifies to their rapidly growing global influence and audience appeal.
