Ghanaian rapper, Bashir Annan, popularly known as Gambo, has touched base with legendary American record producer and singer-songwriter, Jermaine Dupri, and there are high expectations about the two of them collaborating on a song.
Gambo, who has worked with a number of local music stars, said he would be excited to have collaboration with international icons which include Jermaine Dupri among others.
Gambo met with Dupri in the United States of America (USA), where he has been touring over the past few weeks ahead of his highly anticipated album release.
Dupri founded So So Def Recordings in 1993. The label, based in Atlanta, Georgia, specialises in Southern hip hop, RnB and base music and has managed a number of top artistes such as Kris Kross, TLC, Bow Wow, and Usher.
There are high speculations that Gambo and Dupri are going to have a collaboration. The ‘Drip’ hitmaker is also anticipated to perform at Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def Recordings’ 30th anniversary festival in Atlanta. Dupri recently announced the So So Def 30th anniversary festival.
He teased the festival in an Instagram post, saying the fest will take place from September 29 to October 1, 2023.
And there are high indications that Gambo, who was recently signed to Ghanaian-Liberian actor and comedian, Michael Blackson’s record label, could become the first-ever Ghanaian artiste to have collaboration with the iconic music producer, Dupri.
Since early February this year, Gambo has been touring the US.
Gambo’s collaboration with Dupri forms part of his commitment to market Ghana on the global stage.
Gambo is one musician who has been using his music videos to market the positive side of Ghana. He has resisted the temptation of projecting Ghana as a poor society.
His potential collaboration with Dupri forms part of efforts to help bridge the gap between Ghana, Africa and the United States.
