Asakaa Boys prepare to take the world

The Asakaa Boys, an evolving music collective comprising over eight Ghanaian talents, are due for a European run.

Their first stop will be at London's iconic 1200-capacity venue, Clapham Grand, which has hosted legendary talents, including Public Enemy, at the peak of their powers.

They will perform with Ghana's new hiplife sensation Beeztrap KOTM, who has earned co-signs from top stars, including rapper Sarkodie.

The Asakaa Boys will then move to Antwerp, Belgium, for their Asakaa Waves concert, as announced by Jay Bahd.

It's unclear if the Asakaa Boys' stint with Morgan Heritage, engineered by Ghanaian promoter Papa Loggy, will lead to future collaborations.
