Ghanaian Drill artiste, Yaw Tog, has revealed that many upcoming acts in Kumasi are scared to reach out to him for collaboration.
Speaking to Lord Sly on Flight Time on Guide Radio 91.5 FM, Yaw Tog opined that while the drill genre of music is still reigning in Kumasi, many of the new acts who are promoting the genre are shy of reaching out for collaboration.
“Kumasi is still having this drill acts, and it is reigning mostly on TikTok, which has been championed by these young ones. I think they just need that exposure and they will be good,” he said.
When asked whether these acts reach out to him online for collaboration, he stated, “Some do reach out, and some are also scared to approach me. They don’t have that boldness to ask for what they want. I urged them to keep working out.”
Yaw Tog also recounted how he was able to get Dancehall act, Stonebwoy, on his “Tog City” album as well as featuring on Stonebwoy’s “Toucher” Extended Play, saying he dreamt about his collaboration on several occasions.
Speaking to Lord Sly on Guide Radio 91.5 FM, Yaw Tog disclosed that his relationship with Stonebwoy is spiritual, saying, “With Stonebwoy, the relationship is spiritual because it did not just happen physical. I had to see him in my dream before meeting him physical. When you see me and Stone, you will see that there is this love between us. He is like a big bro to me. And he has been showing me love ever since I stepped foot in his house.”
He added that he initially connected with Stonebwoy during the Global Citizen event held in 2022 at the Independence Square, Accra, “when I met him, we exchanged pleasantries and he told me we will do something, so we were on the backstage talking, and here we are (sic).”
