R2Bees Sign Deal With Universal Music Group

Ghanaian music duo, R2Bees have a new deal with Universal Music Group.

One half of the group, Pae Dae shared the news on Twitter. Moreover, according to him, this means that their new album has to “be pushed back a few weeks.”

The group released ‘We Dey Vibe‘ off the upcoming album ‘SITE 15‘ in July. They promised to release the project in August 2018. However, their manager, Ike Otoo Arhin explained the reason for the delay.

“They [Universal] have made us a very good offer which we think we should take. This is our 10 years anniversary and the album release should be huge. If we release it independently, it would not go as far as we want it. Ghana music has to go further.”

Moreover, the terms of the deal are unavailable.

The duo become the third Ghanaian act to be signed by the world’s biggest music company after Cina Soul and Stonebwoy.
