‘The beat they put behind it is what changes it to hip hop and R&B. What they are doing here is ‘tungba’ because immediately you press play, you start dancing all the way’.

47-year old Ayuba, who has had a successful fuji music career span over two decades recently released a remix to one of his classics, “Happy People” which features artiste Tm9ja and YSG’s rap artiste Vector.
