Ghanaian musician popularly known for his ‘No Beer in Heaven’ song, Atongo Zimba has revealed that he is working on a project with Ghanaian rap sensation, M.anifest which is set to be released either Monday or Tuesday.

In an interview with YFM’s Haruna Babaginda on Y97.9FM’s Reggae Republic Show, he shared that he chose this project with M.anifest to “catch up with the new generation” through a fusion of the old and new vibe rhythms.

“I will be releasing an album on Monday or Tuesday. I collaborated with M.anifest on this album. I wanted to have Kofi Kinaata too but I met him very late”, he told Haruna Babaginda.
