Stonebwoy hails AraTheJay
Ghanaian artist AraTheJay, real name Samuel Ankrah, is one of the country's biggest prospective music talents.
His new tape, Finding Nimo Series: The Capsule, has gained significant traction, earning him plaudits from several music industry bigwigs, including Afrofuture's co-founder.
The youngster seems to have made it to the radar of the Afro-dancehall pioneer and the reigning TGMA Artiste of the Year. Ahead of his upcoming album, Stonebwoy shared a tweet hailing AraTheJay.
The post has made many fans hopeful that AraThejay, who has already collaborated with King Promise and rapper EL, will be on Stonebwoy's sixth studio album.
Speaking to Ghanaian culture journalist and member of The Grammy Recording Academy, Kenneth Awotwe Darko told YEN.com.gh that,
"AraTheJay’s connection is very strong and immaculate. His focus on highlife and the originality of his sound are infectious. This is especially pronounced these days because, after what some might call a blind craze for Afrobeats by many Ghanaian acts, the chickens have come home to roost. And that is the juncture where Ara sits, honing his highlife craft rather than following the elusive trend and for that the sudden light on his prowess. All the more reason his talent is gaining well-deserved recognition."
