We Salute you.....FUSE ODG !!!

Now its not often I salute artist due to the fact.. well i dont know why LOL but.....

What can i say, I've been wanting to blog about FUSE ODG for a very long time. This guy is possibly one of the hardest working solo artists Ive seen. From touring around Africa, touring around the UK. He is definitely holding the Ghana flag high around the world putting Ghana on the Map. And making us very proud.

I first came across Fuse when there was a big buzz around his single "Azonto"..Now at first i was like whats this.. Cause it wasn't like the normal type of Afrobeats i was used to hearing. It was a bit more upbeat more commercial sounding, but after time it grew on me, and the with Azonto video's and competitions going viral,  I was like I need to nail this dance.. I cant allow myself to be the only Ghanaian in town struggling just to get the leg and arm movement co ordination .. I had to learn the dance so that I could add my own 2pence, 2 Cedis, 2 Nairas to it.. Make it my own..!

 When that song came out, it set the Azonto craze in the UK going wild. Everybody was doing it Aunties, Uncles, Grandma's , Grandad's even the homeless. Now there are many debates as in to who created the Azonto or who started the trend..WHO IS THE ORGINAL AZONTO DON DADA ?? !!  But for the people who aren't really in sync with the Afrobeat scene..The Azonto single was the first they had heard of the dance.. SO REALLY AND TRULY he helped create an awareness of the dance to those who had never heard of it in Europe.

And THEN, just as we thought the "Azonto" song was simmering down, he gave  us a big GRENADE OF TRACK!! He literally GBOSA'D us in the face with it " You dey do me Antenna" JESU! .. This song had the Afrobeat scene going cray cray.. AND NOT only that, yet again Fuse ODG had got people all over the world (LITERALLY) making 2- 3 min video's of them dancing to Antenna .. Hoping to be featured in the official video.. in which he selected the SPECIAL 2 which you can view down below!

So from getting so much worldwide recognition from the Afrobeat scene in the UK..He also caught the eye of a legend MR. FUGEE HIMSELF.. Wyclef Jean who jumped on the Antenna track as a feature.. Which also gained a Top 10 position on the UK charts, which is a very big deal.. 

Collaborating with so many other world wide respected artist in the industry, Fuse is definitely marking his territory by pioneering his very own movement T.I.NA ( This Is New Africa ) !

To me this is the first time an Artist from the UK  has represented so hard for his people across the WORLD!.. He is setting levels for other aspiring afrobeat / Afro pop artist.. Like i cant even label him.. Because he is beyond a genre.

And recently he was awarded a GMA( Ghana Music Award) and MOBO for best African act, beating well known artist such as.. Wizkid, Ice Prince, Tiwa Savage  and Atumpan.. When he got that award and was talking about the REAL AFRICA.. i was sitting there screaming "Yess DARZ IT CA'MON.. Talk the real talk.. They dont know "

 Now every Aunty Akua, Aunty Cynthia and Uncle Kwame will be saying they knew Fuse when he was just a little boy, or they know his Auntie from Broadwater farm.. LOOOOOOL (Typical Ghanaians).. But that just shows how all Generations and ages are proud.. to have someone representing us aswell as the whole of Africa on this level. Staying true to his roots..Now also nominated for several other Awards "ITS FUSSSEEEEEE" has definitely has a great year

So I take this time to SALUTE ...MR.FUSE ODG! For what he is achieved so far.. And this is only the beginning.. ALSO SALUTE TO HIS TEAM! Cause they say when you have a great team behind you.. You will go very far..! !

SideBar:  I think i have mastered the way Fuse says "Its Fusseeeeeee" ! Only the elite can master it
