Nigerian reggae-dancehall artiste and songwriter, Patoranking has shared insights into his experience while creating his upcoming album which boasts a diverse line-up of artistes from a great mix of backgrounds.
The upcoming album titled 'World Best' features notable contributors such as Ludacris, Nigeria's Vict0ny, Jamaican legend Beenie Man and Ghana's own Gyakie, among others.
In an interview with JoyNews' Becky during his private listening session in Accra, Patoranking described the album-making process as a challenging but ultimately enjoyable endeavour.
“To be honest, I enjoyed every process, from production to recording to everything, it was all fun,” the dancehall singer said.
Speaking on his collaboration with Ghanaian ‘song bird’ Gyakie, the ‘No Kissing Baby’ hitmaker said that her involvement was a natural and effortless decision, humorously referring to her as "Jackie Chan," to showcase their dynamic collaboration.
“You know there is something special about Gyakie and we needed that spice, and trust me, it wasn’t a difficult situation or decision when we said Gyakie.”
“She just went in on the song and boom! Done,” the artiste said.
The dancehall singer also said working with the American rapper Ludacris, was an amazing experience as the rapper and his team were very supportive and willing to collaborate with him on his album.
The singer also revealed that he featured the American rapper on his song “Miracle Baby”.
Furthermore, Patoranking revealed that his roots as a traditional man raised in the ghetto inspired him to infuse elements of highlife, which he fondly terms "Galele," into his album.
