It takes some artistes donkey years to explain whatever they sing out
to their fans.
Quiet some few months, after releasing the hit
RnB single "Love You Better" featuring Ugandan
songbird Juliana Kanyomozi, Jay Ghartey released
another hit Afro pop titled "African Money"
featuring Ghana's finest EL and AJ Omo Alajah.
"African Money" has been embraced by
thousands of African, European and American
music lovers. But the questions are; What does
African Money mean? What is the concept
behind African Money? What message does it
carry across to the listeners?
Over the weekend, Jay Ghartey decided to
explain these questions to his listeners and fans.
This is what he has to say in an unedited
transcript he released.
"You see Africa is rich in natural resources,
culture and in its people and the rest of the
world and Africans themselves must be
reminded of this and we must continue to set
the facts straight.
When I was young in the U.S.A and I told people
I was an African. They immediately thought I
came from a poor country. Even though I did
not show my feelings, I felt bad and it pained
me.
But 20 years later things have changed in the
world and slowly people are now starting to
have more respect for Africa. They know we are
hardworking and educated and ready to move on
things. It's a new revolution and I'm calling it
"African Money". It's also a swag and state of
mind, never giving up, having pride and to walk
with the mentality of "African Money".
