New Music : RibCage Music Mixtape - Kobby Dope

RibCage Music Mixtape Album Project


This is a personal message from the artist


Rib Cage Music is something I have been working for some time now. The tape was

actually supposed to be released last year on February 19, which happens to be

my birthday but due to certain circumstances was pushed back indefinitely. I

know Sergio from high school but I and he really linked up somewhere in August

and we started serious work. Sergio suggested I finish up the mix tape. We

started by re doing some of the original songs like My Name Is Dopey which was

initially recorded on swi beats’ Its Me B**ches. Sergio put some scratches on Don

Ja y’s

Enigma and I dropped my lines on it. We also redid Ired. I made my brother Don

Sedem do a patwoi verse and a hook, my Nigerian friend and the renowned rapper

Viva retouched his verse and Drilix also put a 16 on. We also redid Friends with

Benefits with Kei y. I had already recorded My Music with Trebla, Skills and

Hot Jam sometime in March. I wanted to recreate something with a similar feel

so I did two more songs, Rib Cage Music 1 and 2… I needed someone who could do

something dope, deep and real so I hit up my man Kojo Cue and got my girl

Phillipa to do a hook, for RCM 1. The verse on RCM 2 is actually a very old one

I wrote for a poetry event.

Talking

about poetry, I decided to flaunt my poetry skills on Adele’s beat. “Life is a

b**ch” is a piece I try to use to tell the world that even though we hate our

lives and the things that happen to us sometimes, it’s still all we got hence

the ending, “life is a b**ch but I guess I keep forgetting that b**ch is life”

Everyone

who knows me knows I wear African textiles a lot. I hit up my brother Lex

Wealth who is also in the fashion and we did a joint. That’s how SOAP came

about. Sergio of course did the beat. The last song “Spartans” is a song I did

for Independence Hall in KNUST when they were about to do their dinner and

awards night. We did not really use it so I decided to throw it in there as a

bonus cos I did that song for the love of Indece (even though I was still paid

lol).

Ihope everyone will enjoy the tape, or at least a part of it. Every song on the

tape has a different audience been targeted. Feel free to let me know what you

think about the project by hitting me on my twitter @KobbyDope and using the

tag #RibCageMusic #RCM”
