Praye: The Epitome of Consistency

Praye has generated radio, TV and internet buzz since they emerged. Their danceable songs are undeniable.

Eeeeeem Kaywa//naw ibi Broomx Entertainment yooow//, they say is their new record label after passing through series of managements since they became champions of the Nescafe African Revelation (NAR) musical competition both national and international some years back.

Their real names; Eugene Boadu Baah as the ‘Choirmaster’ or ‘Praye Honeho’, Stephen De-graft Fiawo as ‘Praye Tietia’ and Christopher Nana Kwame Asare Koranteng as ‘Praye Tintin’.

They became the first and youngest Ghanaian musicians on the Lisarf Music record label to have won a KORA award with their first album titled ‘Mfitiase3’ (THE BEGINNING) in which they fed their fans with hit songs like ‘Shordy’, ‘Lasupadora’, ‘Efie Ni Fie', ‘Jakoo’, etc.

Appeitus first-rated them to be part of his ‘Appeitus Compilation Volume 1 in which they contributed the hottest single that drove the compilation to the top, ‘RUN RUN SOMETHINGS’ others also call it MAKOMA which bagged them more awards. The second album, “THE BOMB” featured the best all stars collaboration of all time which was the remix of the song, ‘Jacket’ and also had hits like ‘Katsiremi’, ‘Magbo’ and so on.

“ROLL KOLL 2008” was the third album and it comprised of songs that liberated the minds of music productions from the studios in Ghana. The song that introduced the new breed of music in Ghana was ‘ANGELINA’ and Kwame Sefa Kayi’s favourite, ‘WODIN’ produced by Zapp Mallet. ‘WONKOAA’, ‘TETE BOTAN’ featuring Lady Prempeh, the project song for ZOOMLION, and a couple of hits were on that album.

“We try as much as possible to bring the best to our fans, consistency and uniqueness”, said Choirmaster. “We fall under the roof of afro pop and the hiplife category and our style is called ‘KASATO’, where we sing as if we are rapping. It has really created a big impact on most rappers in GH now.

"There should be a little rhythm in the rap so we can desist from trying to sing and sound like Nigerians. Nigerians are original in their melodies, accent or language and unique with their beats that’s what we have to do than to ‘copy copy’", he continued.

Their new album “THE 4TH GEAR” confirms their consistency and hard working skills which also comes with new ideas and a new record label - Broomx Entertainment which they are the CEO.

As part of some of the new things, they have joined alliance with another energetic and strong group from Guinea called ‘Dege Force Tra’ for a sanitation song for Africa titled ‘Souna Ghetto’, as part of some of the projects they will be embarking on an inter tertiary tour on soon.

Their newest album has 16 songs and features Kwaw Kese, Amakye Dede and a couple of underground artistes. Already fans are enjoying three singles titled, ‘New Dance’ or ‘Getu Gege’, ‘Independent’ which is already an anthem and ‘Dzigbordi’, the girls favourite.

They handpicked engineers like Jam Master Jay, Appietus, Kaywa, Killbeatz, Gideon and Beatz. For the next two or more years to come, God willing we will be invading the world like termites with no fears, “Roll Koll 2008” was a lineup of love songs but “4th Gear is a lineup of party songs”, their manager said.
