Obour Sets Pace In Music Industry

Obour
Hiplife sensation Bice Osei Kuffour, known in showbiz as Obuor, took hiplife music onto another pedestal last Saturday at the Busy Internet in Accra, where he launched his website obour.com and his new social responsibility project on road safety titled Murder The Menace.

The launch, which was the first public entry by Obuor since his brush with death last year following a road accident, also marked the outdooring of his third album Atumpan and his 35-destination nationwide tour which kicks off in the Western Region on July 1. Interestingly, the 13-track album was launched live simultaneously on Joy Fm and 11 other radio stations across the country. Patrons to the event had the opportunity to see for the first time his video entitled Menwu Bio which was a re-enactment of his tragic accident during which a lady passenger's life was lost.

The video, by all standards ,is the best to be shot by any musician on the hiplife scene today and it came as no surprise that after the clip patrons could not help but give a deafening applause. The large crowd, which included VIP, Batman, Sidney, Abrewaanana and other musicians, were really impressed with the piece produced by Phamous People.

Obuor's lastest album features some of the top artistes on the hiplife scene. Konkontibaa featured the Batman, with Tic Tac and a Nigerian artiste Baba Shanty featuring on Shyne ur eye. Enora ne ne is an all-star song which features Sidney, Tinny, Nkasea, Okomfuo Kwadae and bosom.

With his new project Obour seeks to help reduce road accidents on our roads and this will form the basis of his nationwide tour.
