Democraxy releases dancehall tune ‘Hot Gyal’

Budding Ghanaian music artist, Democraxy has released his latest single, ‘Hot Gyal’ on a hot dancehall riddim, which he hopes would open the door for Ghanaians to embrace his diversity.

According to him, he is a dynamic artist with varying music styles that he believes would resonate with his existing fans and new ones alike.

“I decided to jump on a Dancehall riddim for ‘Hot Gyal’ because dancehall is big in Ghana at the moment thanks the likes of Stonebwoy, who is a mentor, among others. But I am not a dancehall artist, I rap and sing, and my fans can attest to this from my previous mixtapes and releases. ‘Hot Gyal’ is a fun banger and I hope that Ghanaians would embrace it and enjoy it,” says Democraxy.
