I was one of the reasons Grammy added Ghanaian drill to the new category – Yaw Tog

 

Ghanaian Drill rapper, Yaw Tog, believes that his influence played a role in the inclusion of the Ghanaian Drill genre in the Recording Academy’s Grammy Awards. 

The newly announced categories, unveiled in June 2023, encompass a wide range of genres, including Afrobeat, Afro-fusion, Afro-Pop, Afrobeats, Alte, Amapiano, Bongo Flava, Genge, Kizomba, Chimurenga, High Life, Fuji, Kwassa, Ndombolo, Mapouka, Ghanaian Drill, Afro-House, South African Hip-Hop, and Jazz.

During an interview with Cookie T on TV3 New Day, the ‘Sore’ hitmaker confidently stated that his body of work may have influenced the addition of Ghanaian Drill to the Grammy Awards.

Popular music producer and the Chief Executive Officer of Mavin Records, Michael Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has publicly revealed that the most disappointing act in his career was when he was caught on camera smoking cigarettes.

Don Jazzy stated this during an interview with a former Big Brother Naija contestant, Doyinsola David.

Speaking in the unfiltered interview, Don Jazzy said;

“I remember the first time people saw that I used to smoke cigarettes; not anymore though, but I used to smoke. I did not think it was anything bad.

I think it was at a concert. I was being recorded, and I was trying to adjust my eyeglass. In the process of adjusting the glasses, my cigarettes showed. My (social media) timeline went agog. It just felt like a religious figure being caught watching porn; that was how it felt.”

Aside from being a wonderful music producer, Don Jazzy is also known for helping the poor with money anytime he has the means to assist.
