Soul Rhythm Music act Reign just shared a freestyle tagged 'Hustle' to motivate youths.

Reign who has been keeping it low working, decided to give out a freestyle to the public, on a chat with him by Updates24gh he explained how the freestyle was made with his mobile phone.

"So i had this app on my mobile phone it's called Bandlab, it's a good recording tool for mobile, i recorded Hustle with the app.

Well it's funny how hustle was made, i was home listening to beats downloaded online by a friend and i came across this interesting beat.

I kept on listening over and over to that same beat and i started saying words on the beat, but before then something occurred that really brought the tag Hustle.

I was down on cash, happens to be chatting with a very close friend online and financial conversation came in, i didn't have to do much explanation Trillion just said send your account.

Before that this friend of mine has been there for me all long and i know how he has been hustling so hard, so it was Trill that triggered me i making Hustle.

Big shootout to Trillion for being there for me and also to Red C who motivates up and coming artist by uploading free-beats online, Jah bless."

Killbeatz' Speaks About His Short & Sweet Debut EP, 'Love and Happiness'

Renowned afrobeats producer talks about his joint Love and Happiness EP with King Promise & Ofori Amponsah, and his daughter's inspiration behind the project.

Killbeatz needs no introduction. The producer born Joseph Addison is one of the biggest hitmakers as far as afrobeats is concerned. From R2Bees to Sarkodie to FuseODG to M.anifest, Killbeatz has blessed your favorite singers and rappers alike with the soundtracks to their biggest hits. From the azonto era to the global spread of afrobeats, his contribution to African music as a whole cannot be overstated.

However, Killbeatz' influence doesn't stop at just music production. Behind the scenes, he's a complete industry player. The CEO of Ghanaian record label Legacy Life Entertainment, he's responsible for bringing star singer King Promise to the limelight.

Despite producing for the crème de la crème of the Ghanaian music industry as well as several international artists over the length of a decade, the highly-influential producer and instrumentalist never had a project of his own. Now he has set out to change that. In October 2020 Killbeatz dropped his debut EP, titled Love and Happiness.

Love and Happiness is a joint project, a collaborative effort between him, singer King Promise, and legendary Highlife singer Ofori Amponsah. It's a brief affair, just four tracks long, but it represents the best of two worlds—classic Ghanaian highlife and contemporary afrobeats. Joey B, Sarkodie, and Darkovibes also make appearances on the project, balancing out the old school vibes with that present-day feel. The entire project was recorded in a single night, but you couldn't tell just from listening to it alone.

OkayAfrica on an interview with Killbeatz about Love and Happiness, the creative process behind it and more. Check out the interview below.

So what inspired this project?

Just as the title depicts, love and happiness inspired the project. I had my first child recently. She has brought me a lot of happiness and she is my love, hence the title Love and Happiness. The project was inspired by her.

What made you decide to make your first EP a joint project, instead of your own solo project?

The project actually wasn't planned. King Promise and I had already made "Odo Nti," and we had invited Ofori Amponsah over to work on the song. He came over to the studio, and we made magic in one night. We recorded the whole project that night.

It must have been gratifying to be able to work with and produce music for a legend like Ofori Amponsah. How did that make you feel?

I have been a fan of him for quite a long time, and admired him right from when he broke out into the Ghana music scene. I'm actually very happy for the chance to work with him.

What was the creative process of making the EP like?

So we had invited Ofori Amponsah to come do "Odo Nti.". But when he came we happened to work on all the other songs on the EP on that same night. I played him some beats that I had ready, and he liked them and vibed to them. I play the beats and then he goes in to freestyle, and then that's what we have now. Nothing was forced. It was just positive energy around us that night. It was great.

Tell us about "No More".

"No More" is a great tune. On that one I sampled Ofori Amponsah's "Dabebi", which is a classic highlife tune. It came out perfectly.

What's your favorite song on the EP?

Actually, my favorites keep changing. I love the whole project. I'll say all the songs on the EP are my favorites.

What should we expect next from Killbeatz?

I actually have a lot of things in the works. I'm planning on dropping an album, and also working with more international artists. There's a lot of dope stuff in the pipeline, so stay tuned!
