BlaqEye Rekkodz signee, Gakpey has released his official debut single titled “Man Dey” to commence his professional music career.
The song is tipped by some technical music industry players to be a lead breaker to launch him properly unto the Ghanaian and global music market.

The young talent is very optimistic in the belief that he will soon become a household name .

Gakpey started his music in Senior High School when he joined a musical group, “ASQUAD”. He released his first ever recorded song in 2016 titled “Where Are You”, an R&B song while still part of the group, “ASQUAD”.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
