The Tpoly Dakunu hit maker aside from featuring Ruth and Smooth, also headlined David O second concert in Tamale this year. Even though he is a rapper, Ataaka manages to thrill audience with his stage performances anytime, anywhere.



Chogu Boys, creativity and lyrically there got it under control. The father and son team philosophy is working quite well for them, just like birdman and lil wayne.
