Tsotso Primes New Album, Gets Ready To Conquer The Ghanaian Music Industry With "Aduro"

There's a common misconception that as an emerging artiste, you are inferior without the backing of a major label or a good producer.

You aren't supposed to garner enough attention to gain shouts from all the walks of the music industry nor are you supposed to have collaborations with stars like Obrafour, Tinny, Reggie Rockstone, 2 Face, 50 cent, nor be able to make huge sales.

But one young man has done this and more: Meet the accomplished Tsotso (pronounced Tsootso).

Tsotso a young upcoming hiplife artiste defines himself as being himself and always making good music.

Tsotos 's dream has always been to make it big on the music industry and this year, he is set to blow people?s mind. Tsotso began writing lyrics at an early age in an effort to impress his peers. Little did he know that it will impress his current producer, Joe who took him to the studio to record tracks that would become popular on the local circuit.

One interesting thing is that when the tracks were made, the final product was not so good so Joe established his own studio to rather perfect the works of Tsotso.

Tsotso has began hitting DJs, banging nite clubs and any music related joint to make sure his music is heard.

In 2006, Tsotso became an official resident in the house of Wild Wild Studios and signed to the label, Wild Wild Record label. The partnership has been blazing lanes ever.

Fosu, Nkasei, Kwabena Kwabena, Kofi Nti and more have been blessed before) and riding on the success of his car-banging track "Tuff", the teen rapper is set to change the game with the release of his dynamic debut album, ?Aduro?.

He came up with the title as a nod to his musical diversity and mainly that his album is a medicine to heal wounded people who have problems. "

He has laid the foundation to climb the ladder of success not forgetting to educate the youth about social vices.
