Electro-Club monster from famous ghanian HipHop Duo Dee Black and D-Money!

Yesterday, I’ve discovered a very cool project from two skandinavian House and Techno DJ’s and producers!  In February 2011, DJ Granmaster P and DeeJay Jones found the Ghana House Mafia, with the mission to build a bridge between House Music and modern ghanaian Hiplife! Since then, Granmaster P dropped quite a lot cool House Remixes of more or less well-known Hiplife Tunes from Sarkodie to R2bees, on his soundcloud. Feel free to give them a listen and download those you like…
