He believes he is the authentic mouthpiece of Northern Ghana afrobeat music and the true representation of Northern music culture hence his style of flow on songs.

Sound From The North EP was cemented with solid and high productions as Badda Kasu pulled in a lot of energy for the project. He put in a lot of modern sound blends with afrobeat and amapiano vibes to seal this amazing EP. Reezybwoy, Typanza, and G.Dogg were featured on three of the seven listed tracks.

Sound From The North was a special project as the EP hearing took effect early before the official release date was fixed. There were numerous write-ups by my bloggers (Prinz BM, Pros Dee Gh, 3musicgh.com) just to mention but a few, and other social media influencers.
