YELLOWGATE FIGHTS AIDS!

The killer disease, AIDS, is been fought against with four very pronounced
weapons; the chemical, the medical, the counselling and the musical.

Yellowgate Studios’ crest position in Gambia’s music industry has prompted
the sound laboratory to involve its precious time in the musical war against
AIDS. With the more endangered teenagers in focus, Yellowgate Studios is
exclusively creating an AIDS song for the campaign against the death
prowling disease.

Viewing the studio’s countless contributions in the scene, it is obvious
that Gambia’s music wheel is gradually walking the international path
because of its steering seat. With such a leading feat, Elie Nachif
innovatively and carefully assembled a team of suitable rappers and blended
beats on lyrics to produce a wonderful rap tune in various languages, from
English to Wollof, Creole, Mandinka, Jola etc.

The single, which features young rappers like Kingdom Brethren’s Norris
Smith, Pencha B’s Principal and Flying Lyon, Lola Nachif, Da Fugitivz’ DJ
Graduate, Sea Breeze and his younger brother Ronald Senghore, Aminata Taal
and Munas Secka, will be released soon.

If music stands at the battlefront and triumph is most imminent, I think for
all balanced reasons, this song has to hold the gun, the arrow, and also,
the armour to fight, kill and finally bury AIDS. The quality exceeds all
anticipations.

Rapping down the disease is a better way to seal its effect, that’s why the
song rather came in rap. And, directing the Gangsta-style of music and the
lyrical lens on the youths, we could be confident that tomorrow will not
bring sorrow.

Could this be the world’s AIDS theme, or a continental AIDS campaign tune?
Let’s hold our hearts and listen up!
