Like the title suggests, it is a treatise on a problematic relationship and the role money plays in it.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DRB Lasgidi member BOJ has released a new single which features a trio (technically four) of budding Ghanaian acts: Kwesi Arthur, Darkovibes and Joey B. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Awolowo\u2019 is a mid-tempo song which features lewd storytelling and generally, the depiction of a feel-good lifestyle, peculiar to today\u2019s youth. The featured artistes take turns in delivering well-laced verses and BOJ assumes hook duties. On the hook, he sings in his unique voice about stacking cash even as he smokes. Of course, this is delivered in Yoruba.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XIB3OvwMT3Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The song is a follow-up to BOJ\u2019s collaboration with Nigerian Afro-Pop sensation Teni. BOJ, I have been rumoured, has an album in the works (this might or might not be released in 2019) and \u2018Awolowo\u2019 plays right into the grand run-up. The GMK beat is ingenious in the laid back mood it sets; there is the Spanish guitar, and the kick drums \u2013 it is a really good production. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As BOJ is one of the Alt\u00e9 movement pioneers, his influence is quite admirable and on this song, he does score the support of some friends: Zamir provides additional vocals while the beautiful guitar sounds were strung by the fingers of Tomi Thomas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expectedly, a video should be released soon and going by reports, it will be shot in Ghana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Listen to BOJ in our One Dance playlist on\u00a0<a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/user\/panafricanmusic\/playlist\/5fzbLUbqLiEvriBPMlLNbf?si=RZRQ3sZCS1WjzfXYj5vzPg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spotify<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.deezer.com\/en\/playlist\/2316095842\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deezer<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Read next:\u00a0<a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/chronicling-the-re-emergence-of-runtown\/\">Chronicling the re-emergence of Runtown<\/a><\/span><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigeria&#8217;s Alt\u00e9 artiste BOJ has premiered a new song featuring some of Ghana&#8217;s finest artistes.
