The album, which is to be released sometime next month, is expected to stir the music industry in the view of the fact that Castro has been one of the hiplife star who has succeeded in moving music lovers with his releases.

By this feat, Asamoah Gyan follows in the footsteps of sensational boxer, Bukom Banku who released a tight single last year.
