One of the pioneers of Ghanaian dancehall music, General Marcus, is on the verge of releasing his latest album.
After sojourning in Europe for some years, Ghanaian dancehall sensation, General Marcus, has finally returned home with a new album set to rock the entire nation like never before.
General Marcus came into the limelight in the mid-nineties with an explosive album, received by the Ghanaian music fraternity with utmost reverence for his blending of Jamaican style with indigenous Ghanaian languages.
Marcus was discovered by television presenter and radio disc jockey, Poncho, in the days when he presented Guinness Music for Your Dancing Feet. General Marcus has never looked back.
Marcus sang with Ghanaian-based reggae band, Kente. He featured on the track Inner City, which rocketed him into the spotlight and identified him as a roots raga artiste.
Soon after, General Marcus was approached by an international producer who flew him to one of the best studios in Jamaica, where a host of famous artists, such as Buju Banton record their music.
Marcus sang a version of Buju?s, ?The Story Has Never Been Told,? on his debut album, Shida. The album remains in the annals of Ghanaian music as a classic that introduced a new trend of Ghanaian reggae dancehall music, a style adopted by artists such as Bat Man, Yogi Dogi and, recently, Wuta.
?This album will serenade all music lovers with good music. I have taken my time to put this album out and I?m sure that my fans will love it,? says Marcus. He believes he has matured as an artist, and is confident this maturity is evident in his latest album.
Though he does not wear dreadlocks, General Marcus propounds the philosophy of Pan-Africanism through his music. Most of his songs address the suffering masses in Africa, and the greed of the individuals who take advantage of the system.
It is unequivocally true that Marcus has what it takes to regain his past glory as the undisputed champion of Ghanaian local dancehall music, even though the competition is getting hotter.
