When Liberian Music took a giant step back in 2017, We all had this one believe " in 5yrs to come, the Liberian sounds will be on the world stage" it's five years now and we are experiencing a twist of fate. No lie, our musicians are doing pretty well to wave their Noble and peace loving country flag on the world musical scene. The hopes we had back then were proud sponsored by the likes of alleged drugs addict Christoph The Change, Quincy B(RIP), CIC, Kizzy W, Co.Z, Cypha D King, Dang and the list goes on. Of course I Can't leave out the name of the tycoons from the Genesis, Especially not the kings, Takun J and International DJ Blue.
These dreams came with a huge Prophecies that made us believe that we had just little time to catch up with other countries, musically. Literally Ziggy Ray and Ace Cape among others were in the Prophecies. These kids gave us reasons to believe That no matter what happened they will shoulder the responsibilities to continue what others have started. Like Charles Taylor rebels, Ziggy Ray took no time to capture the street after releasing two breakthrough singles " In The Building and I'm A Child". Ziggy Ray became an instant inspiration to kids at his age to burst out their talents that are within them. He was seen mingling with Entertainment tycoons and performing at top event. Ace Cape on the other hand was spotted during a talent hunt by Mr. Smith Lib Money. The country wouldn't just wait to see what he had in store. Like Ziggy Ray, Ace Cape didn't disappoint as he released his instant hit breakthrough song dedicated to all the mothers in the world dubbed "MaMa". After a short stay in the music industry, both of them had to paused music to focus on their education.
I have noticed a sudden twist of event, The Prophecy was not actually Ziggy Ray and Ace Cape rather it was someone we never thought we had. Slowly and steadily he walked in the industry and spread his wings around everyone to help in anyway he could/can. Obviously, he is the most humble and branded Liberian Artist. The Ghanaian based Liberian Artist, JzYno is no doubt the dream we had in 2017 and he is proving just that as he keep pushing the Liberian sounds to the larger society.
