Ruff N Smooth meets Akon, Sway and others

Ghanaian music duo, Ruff N Smooth, have met with American R&B superstar, Akon, UK’s number one rapper, Sway, and Nigerian music duo, P Square in London.

The meeting which took place at the W Hotel in Leicester Square, Central London, one of UK’s luxurious hotels, was to strategise collaborations between Ruff N Smooth, Ghanaian-born UK rapper, Sway who is under the management of Akon’s Konvict Music and an unnamed international act.

Ruff N Smooth and Sway last week recorded two tracks, Kill your pride and USB, for their respective albums; Kill your pride for Ruff N Smooth and USB for Sway.

The songs were produced in Ghana but are currently being reworked in the UK by music producer Possigee. Final mixing of the song will be done in the US at a later date.

Sway recorded his verses of the songs from the UK while Ruff N Smooth, made up of Bullet and Ahkan, did their bit here in Ghana before leaving for the UK.

The meeting, which was also attended by Babs of Konvict Music and Swag Team Management, Ruff N Smooth’s management in the UK, was used to plan the video shoot for the tracks which is expected to be shot in the UK on September 26.

Ahkan confirmed the meeting in interview with Myjoyonline.com. He said they went there “to plan the video because we are doing it in London after our Canada tour [on] 26th September.”

He also hinted that they discussed a major collaboration with an international artiste, refusing to disclose his or her identity.

The duo popularly known as the Swagger Boys joined the Music Man, Kojo Antwi to perform at Nilz Hansens Vei 4B in Norway on August 26.

They are now embarking on their tour that will see them perform in London, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Canada and the United States till October 20.
