colaborations with them.so fans of black echo should be

black echo was has signed a one year deal with Carlos

entertainment said "northern music is growing but the bussines

aspect is rather detoriating because there is no bold manager to

spend up to 2000 ghana cedis in branding an artist and i think

is because they lack eduction if they really know what they will

get from in branding an srtist they will do it and also some of

us lack education in what we are doing, is like some of the

upcoming  artist  thinks since he can can go behind the mic and 

rap on an intrumental he think thats all and that makes him a

musician but they dont understand what it entailles .

at his liesure he spend much time with his boys,watch funny

movies all give them morale to be in the game..he is also the

sales manager at KESMI FM and you can catch him live on his

sunday shows between 5 to 9pm on kesmi fm
