Osa Ray Of 'Araba Yaa' Fame

Osa Ray We've heard of Lord Kenya, Kwaadee, Okyeame Quame, George Jaraah and more, reigning in Kumasi when their new songs comes out, but if you care to know there is another young hiplife rapper doing very well there.

I went to Kumasi for Music Music's show and was astonished at the rate at which his songs were played on radio stations. The hiplife rapper I'm talking about is Osa Ray whose second album is doing marvelously well.

The name 'Osa Ray' comes from his real name Osei Asibey Ray. He is out with his second album called 'Araba Yaa' after making it big with the first album which was titled 'Fa Woho Suo Dede'. On his current album, he featured artistes like Agya Bomofuo, Obour, TDB, Soso, Johnny Ossei, and Chancellor.

He has won the hearts of many in Kumasi and guess what! there is no top musical show in Kumasi without Osa Ray performing.

When asked  what the' Araba Yaa' song was about, this was his reply "It was formerly a jama song but I blended the old song with nice beats and lyrics".

Osa Ray wants peace in the country so that investors and foreigners can come to the country.
