Ambassadoz Debut Album "Travelwise"

Ambassadoz Equipped with an AKG-3000 microphone, a second hand laptop loaded with a plethora of recording software and a vision; AKAN (born Franklyn Kwesi Effah) and M.O.A (born Kwame Andah) started recording tracks for their debut album "TRAVELWISE".

The journey begins in West Philadelphia, PA where these 2 solo recording emcees embarked on their journey. A trip to a region deep within themselves in order to dish out what has been deemed as 'one of the most intercultural hip hop albums of 2005'. 

The fact that they blended smoothly into the Philly scenes in 1999 comes as no surprise to many as AKAN and M.O.A relay both sides of the story through their rhymes. Though on opposite sides of the voice range they manage to compliment each other and deliver a flow so unique.

Produced on barely any budget at all but the aforementioned equipment, featuring no big name stars and no wack gimmicks, this album will, nevertheless, reach out and grab you by the ear. All the tracks on the CD where recorded in a relaxed home environment at the residence of the two emcees. The result is similar to "The Blair Witch Project"...of African Hip Hop.
