The Rise of Fuse ODG

Video Produced and Directed by Moe Musa


Just has some of us in the media marketing world were thinking that Azonto is under-marketed and inarticulately publisised, Fuse ODG has dropped a banger entitled, 'Antenna'.

Well Antenna is all about bringing people together and making them dancing till they pass out with exhaustion with it electrifying Afro-European dance tempo and amazing Azonto choreography.  Fuse is the first Azonto artist who has managed to capture Afro-pop music lovers by creating a project that encapsulate what African music and mostly the modern Ghana is all about.
 
Considering that his marketing team has put together a good international campaign, we may be looking at the new African phenomenon, however, only time will tell.  But early 2013 is going to take  "Off Da Ground" with Fuse, who gets five stars for a project well commanded.
