Hello people..It's another edition of "In The Music". This a guest blogger edition. Aboki interviews Da BansoBoy, Banye...The 411 of his music, career, insight on the Camer music industry...and wraps up with #StopBakaram
It’s
a new year! *crowd screams* New handles, new faces, new resolutions (many of us
wouldn’t keep) and a new interview from me[Aboki of Abokination]. 2014 was quite a year within the
237 ecosystem and I’m anxious to see what this year unveils. So far we've had many songs and an EP released (hmm I need to check the numbers(….. * remembers that this isn't a review*
SWITCH!
Last
week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Banye Augustine alias Banso Boy. It was more of a conversation and unlike a lot of my pieces, I raised my eye
brows at some of the things he had to say. It is always quite refreshing seeing
things through the eyes of others. We spoke about everything from music, his
influences, Culture and Boko Haram. Just in case you don’t know who Banye is,
He released the well-received track Chorkoh
in 2012, Ova Sabi with Ngoma in 2013 and has been lurking ever since but it’s
safe to say he is one of the most diverse rappers 237 has ever seen. He
recently released a song called AMINA with Gee Reign. Banye is known for being
vocal about his feelings and always puts up the ghetto attitude in all he does.
So needless to say how excited I was when he accepted my request for an
interview.
I
hope you have fun reading this piece as I did having the conversation.
Aboki:
Thank you for granting this interview…
Banye:
My pleasure
Aboki:
You are well known within
Cameroon’s ecosystem … but to those who don’t know you, can you please introduce
yourself?
Banye:
I am Banye from Banso. Most people know me as “Bansoboy”. I am a rapper/producer/singer above all hustler.
