D-Black and E.L speak about their decades long friendship
Ghanaian rapper and producer E.L has revealed that his colleague D-Black played a key role in convincing him to release his hit song “Auntie Martha.”
Speaking during an interview on TV3 with D-Black, E.L recounted how the Black Avenue Muzik boss encouraged him to release the song while they were working together in his small recording studio in Osu.
“I used to have this little shack of a studio in Osu and he would come over there and we’d record. And he actually encouraged me to drop ‘Auntie Martha’. I had no plans of dropping ‘Auntie Martha’ there,” E.L said.
D-Black, on his part, reflected on their long-standing friendship, revealing that their working relationship dates back to 2008 or 2009 when he recorded a verse for the Skillions collective, of which E.L was a member.
“I think I did a verse on the Skillions tape, 2009. E.L was part of the Skillions… So I’ve known E.L since 2008 or 2009, and then we just continuously continued working together,” D-Black said.
He added that E.L later produced his debut album, Get On The Dance Floor, in 2010, further strengthening their creative partnership.
“It was a production actually. In 2010, my first album Get On The Dance Floor was produced by E.L,” he revealed.
According to D-Black, they have since built an extensive catalogue together, collaborating on about eight or nine songs before recently expanding that number with a joint five-track EP, bringing their total collaborations to around 16.
My first collaboration with E.L dates back to 2010, when he produced my debut album, Get On the Dance Floor.
