Produced by Paul Agyei aka ‘Paul Gee’ of Kejetia in Kumasi, the album has tracks such as ‘Me Kotowo,’ ‘Ogyidinii,’ ‘Odomfoo’ and ‘Awurade Nti.’

In an interview with the paper, an elated-looking Paul Gee said he was so impressed about the level of patronage that the music had enjoyed so far.

He said the music would be officially launched later on but he was so astonished about the love that the people in the city had shown towards the music.
