Red Eye and Ogunskele are the funky hiplife rappers behind the rap group 2 Toff who made their way into the hiplife family last year and released their album this year titled ‘Oblayoo’.
They're behind the hit ‘Yenabra’, one of their biggest hits on the album.
After struggling to come out with the album and promoting it, Red Eye (sound engineer and member of the group) caught a pirate in Accra playing a song from their album which was not yet released.
When he (Red Eye) questioned the pirate about how he had access to the song, he (the pirate) took him to his hideout. To Red Eye’s surprise, he found 8 boys who all along were using 4 computers and a laptop to dubb songs of artistes.
He also found 100 illegal dubbed CD’s, digital and video cameras in their premises. Over five hundred released and unreleased hiplife, highlife, gospel and reggae songs were found on one of the computers.
After being victims, they have thought it wise to fight piracy in the Ghanaian music industry since it is killing the music industry.
Some top musicians in the music industry have also called on the government to help fight piracy which is causing a lot of damage to the music industry
2 Toff’s album is still on the music market and in case you want to have a feel of the album, please call 233 24 315 6907 or 233 024 312 7025.
