You might remember him as the producer behind such DRB LasGidi classics such as “Selecta” and “3Kingz,” but UK-based Nigerian producer, song-writer and sound engineer, GB, has also worked with some of the biggest names in African music including Dr. SID, Shank and Falz; after taking some time away from the scene to work on some solo projects, GB returns with a brand new single titled “Voodoo Lady” featuring Ripstar, who burst onto the scene circa 2010 – 2012 with underground hits including “Talking To The Hardest,” “Baby Mi” and “Been So Long” and his classic DJ Mighty Mike hosted “Freestyle Sessions” mix-tape.

To be taken from his forth-coming producer mix-tape, “Remixes & Goodmixes Vol. 1,” “Voodoo Lady” is an eccentric and excellent tune from GB, with lush synths, head-bopping drums and an infectious bass-line, as well as an exciting and unexpectedly versatile showing from Ripstar, who merges his usual Rap shtick with a more rhythmic and melodious flow, to great effect.

Along with “Voodoo Lady,” the producer also unveils his rather excellent mash-up remix of Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” and “Gongo Aso” by 9ice; fusing both acappella vocals from 9ice and Adele, and laying them over a GB-crafted instrumental which travels from Afrobeat to Hip-Hop to Pop and right back, this mash-up remix is a true testament to GB’s exceptional capabilities to create exciting music across a plethora of genres – and there’s more where that came from.

Divided into 2 parts, “Remixes & Goodmixes Vol. 1” will be a mixture of original music from GB such as “Voodoo Lady,” and remixes of popular songs, of which his “Rolling In The Deep/Gongo Aso” remix is the 1st offering; the mix-tape will cover a wide variety of genres, highlighting GB’s resounding production dexterity, as well as feature guest appearances from some of your favourite African and UK artistes. | ENJOY!!!
