Some call him Baka Tee, others know him as Bak-Tye but both names refer to Ekow Zagla, an artiste who got to the limelight about two years ago with a song on his debut album, which chorus goes “ye’ntem na yen pue, enye nia obi ka na metie........”
If you remember that line then you should know who Bak-Tye is. He is ready to release his second album titled Fameko but even before he does that songs from the album have been introduced to the public through airplay.
In a bid to sell his brand of hiplife to the residents of the northern part of the country Bak-Tye has chosen to launch his latest work at the Picorna Gardens, Tamale come next week Friday.
The title song Fameko is one that features Kofi Nti, the artiste whose song Rakia led him to instant popularity among the music-loving public. Kofi Nti opens the song after a line of instrumentation and the now well known cue from Jay Q.
What Nti says in the chorus sounds like someone wants to take him out to hurt him. Perhaps it does not mean exactly that but that is the literal translation. It is only when he completes the line that Bak-Tye comes in with his rap.
Apart from Kofi Nti who features on Fameko, the album also parades a few of the hiplife artistes featured on some of the songs. They include Kaw Kesse, Kwame Rasta, Gbagblaja, Castro and Pope Skinnie.
Castro and Skinnie for example were featured on the song Sweetie and the two added their choral and rap knowledge to make the song a good one.
The eight-track album have other songs like Wadadaa Me, Sika, Semope, Baka Tee and Nipa.
One would like to say however, that being his second album Bak-Tye could have improved on his act than he did with Fameko. Perhaps it is only the title song that seems credible enough to push the popularity of the album to higher heights.
