To celebrate Afrobeats Week here on Solid Mix Media, what better way to do so than to give one of our spotlights to an up-and-coming Afrobeats artist? This week we're giving it to Ghanaian rapper/singer G-Jay. Born in Winneba, Ghana but now residing in Ohio, music has always been a big part of G-Jay's life as his father an accomplished composer and music director and his mother a talented singer. The rapper claims his style of music is a combination of Rap/hip hop/R&B/Afrobeats in order to create a unique sound which would appeal to all, so far he has managed to performed with and opened shows for Ghanaian artists Nana Boroo as well as Kwabena Kwabena. G-Jay's self titled mixtape is set to be released February 1st 2012 on his facebook page, we're to expect to hear a blend of traditional African sounds/R&B/Rap/Hip hop & Hiplife in a way that compliment each other to form a truly unique sound. Below is an exclusive track titled 'Clap On'.
