R2Bees Announce New Album ‘Site 15’ After 5 Years
One of Ghana’s longest serving music group, R2Bees has announced the release of a new album titled “Site 15”
This will however be their third studio album and will be made available to the public next week.
The project arrives 5 years after their critically acclaimed Da Revolution II: Refuse to Be Broke. This was a 19-tracker that birthed commercial monsters as ‘Ajeii’, ‘Life (Walaahi)’, ‘Odo’ and ‘Bayla Trap’ (That album also saw them earn a nomination at the 2013 BET Awards).
Site 15 references the Tema block cousins —Faisal Hakeem (Paedae da Pralem/Omar Sterling), and Rashid Mugeez (Mugeez) grew up in.
Active in music since 2007, R2Bees came to nationwide attention with their 2008 debut offering, “Yawa Gal”, followed by “I Dey Mad”, “Kiss Your Hand”, “T.E.M.A”, “Radio”, and “Africa” —songs which would serve as the crust of their first album, Da Revolution I.
While this is their first joint body of work in a significant while, the band, multiple-award-winners, have published endless chart-topping hits including “Makoma”, “Plantain Chips”, “Tonight”, and “Could This Be Love”, and appeared as guests on other projects. In September 2016, Omar Sterling, the rapper half of the group, published Victory Through Harmony, an 18-track mixtape to critical reviews.
