US-based top music producer and songwriter, Abdoulaye Diop names a few Ghanaian musicians he'd relish working with.

Widely known under the pseudonym of Majestic Drama, Abdoulaye Diop rose to fame for his astounding production on Wale's 2017 smash song 'Mathematics'. Securing his place among major players in the industry, Drama garnered prominence in 2019.

Snowballing ever since, the platinum-status virtuoso now boasts of collaborations with A-listers like Fetty Wap, Kid Ink, Hip-Hop veteran, Twista and French rapper, La Fouine. Currently pegged among the industry's finest and deservingly so, Drama now seeks to widen his scope and is set on working with some of Africa's household names to create some audio magic.

On a phone conversation centered on his next big move, Majestic Drama disclosed he had his sights set on some Ghanaian artists to spearhead his African music debut.

Elaborating on his choice for Ghanaian acts, he remarked: ''In Africa, the major players for Afro music are Ghanaian and Nigerian artists. After producing for Kwaw Kese, I learned a lot about Ghana and its potential in becoming a global force in music''.

He later went on to list his dream team, one which includes the likes of Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, E.L and M.anifest. However, Drama did point out he was generally ready to work with other ''willing'' Ghanaian musicians who wanted to further thrust the country's ingenuity.

Born in Dakar, Senegal, Abdoulaye Diop is now based in Los Angeles, California. Amid his critical acclaim and platinum tag, Majestic Drama has always remained true to his African roots and his sounds are a testimony to his loyalty. Majestic Drama has so much thrill to give and with a new record to further spice up his catalogue, the world is yet to taste his best.
