Sly T And T Bones

Seth Osafo Agyare a.k.a. Sly T and George Graham a.k.a. T Bones are two hiplife artistes whose dream of joining the hiplife train has come true with the release of their debut album titled 'Serwah'.

The two known as Kanawu on the hiplife music scene are both residents of Koforidua and already their debut album is enjoying some popularity in the whole region as it is receiving a lot of airplay with many residents patronizing their album.

The quality of instrumentation in the album is very high as it employs keyboard and the sound of other instruments such as trumpets, drums, tambourines and others.

'Odo Se Wuku' first on the first track featuring Kofi Nti, is one song you cannot afford to stop listening to as it is heavily loaded with guitar and trumpet renditions at the beginning. This song talks about the reaction of lovers when they separate, this is very interesting as you can sense the experience of the two musicians in their lyrics and is likely to please many hiplife music lovers.

Another fast paced danceable song on the album is 'Sumu Adani' which talks about the present and the future of every living thing and highlights on the Law of Kama which says that what ever you throw to the wall bounces back at you.

'Odo Waa', the third on the album is done in the jama vein with some genuine African rap which has one of the duration of lyrics on the whole album and it explains why some women will add their money to the regular chop money their husbands give them.

Songs like 'Wu Ye Nu Saa' and 'Wada Wada me' are some of the songs that feature on the album which is an all round success.

According to them, they were inspired by God and some experienced musicians who have been in Koforidua to go into music, however the lyrics of the songs on the album are all written by them.

Sly T and T Bones are old students of Tema Secondary School and New Juabeng Secondary School respectively and entered into the music industry directly after school.

The album was put together and produced under Cashmill Entertainment and was also programmed and mixed at Hard Knock Studio. The album is marketed and distributed by Lucky Sounds.
