Dice Ailes
Dice Ailes is a young artiste who has shown great prospects when he was unveiled by Chocolate City Music in 2014.
By the year 2016, he had become a household name with one of Nigeria’s smash hits, Miracle, and secured his first big award nomination as rookie artiste of the year on The Headies platform.
For music lovers, it was quite unusual to find a newcomer who was rapping, singing and trapping all at the same time, and with successful measure while at it. This made him an incredible act.
As the Afrobeats sound continued to rife with industry players and their sub-genres, Dice was busy perfecting his genre fusions. As much as his sound was hip-hop, it was also trap, with influences from Afro, R&B, pop etc.
For Dice, music has always been the lifestyle, and this is an experience that culminates from his multicultural lineage.
In a press statement early this week, he disclosed his Ghanaian roots.
“I spent more of my formative years growing up in Nigeria. However, with coming of age and being able to own my choices, I decided that I must reconnect with my Ghanaian roots. Already, I had attended high schools in Nigeria and Ghana, but it wasn’t until those holiday breaks which I spent away from college in Canada that I really got drawn to the Gold Coast. I would travel to the Volta Region where my mum is from, visit places, observe the culture and just be inspired to make cool music,” he disclosed.
Dice Ailes has recently been signed by Sony Music Entertainment West Africa and the company has confirmed Friday, January 29 as the release date for the new single, Money Dance.
According to him, he wants to spread confidence to his fans with the new song.
“I feel like I’m done experimenting with the brand and I’m now ready to go. The fans deserve the best of Dice and that’s exactly what they are going to get from now on,” he indicated.
