A Rapper’s Roots
Fuse ODG has carved out a name in the industry after growing up in both London and Ghana, inspiring a unique and popular fusion of hip-hop, afro-beats and rap that has propelled him to stardom. When his debut single ‘Antenna’ rocketing to number seven on the charts Fuse ODG had made a triumphant breakthrough on to the UK music scene. The rapper claims he found his sound by returning to Ghana after attending high school in London, it was there that he connected with producer Killbeatz and was introduced to the vibrant Azonto dance that the locals were doing. The high-energy choreography and style was the inspiration for his first track, which he started producing right away when back in the UK, ‘Azonto’ was released in late 2013 and hit number 30 on the UK Singles Chart.

Following a no. 3 charting collaboration with Sean Paul called ‘Dangerous Love’ in mid-2014, the dynamic rapper’s much-awaited debut album was released in November that same year. ‘T.I.N.A’, an acronym for This Is New Africa, had great commercial success and cemented Fuse ODG’s impressive journey the stardom. The records title was also a movement by the rapper to encourage Africans to positively represent the motherland to the rest of the world.
