Heewal Bureau Du Change gave Hip Hop Headz a tap on the back


Heewal Bureau Du Change on sunday on sunday 25th March held a meeting with Hip Hop Headz at their Kairaba avenue branch to express their delight in associating Hip Hop Headz, a Hip Hop movement trying to sensitise the young people to have a firm grip and a thorough understanding of Hip Hop music and culture as opposed to nowadays RAP.
Mr. Lamin Saho, the marketing manager of Heewal Bureau Change deputising the Managing Director on his part commended the movement for their laudable initiative which is to sensitise and promote the positive side of Hip Hop which is most lacking in the country. In order to flip the script, he added “Its a matter of pushing it forward and we are ready to stand behind you” said Mr Saho. It is quite evident that the Gambian music scene was triggered by the Hip Hop music and it has reached a level where most acts in The Gambia are misrepresenting the genre in the name of Gambian music, which in the long run will not help in the development of the genre and will undermine the morale of the young people.
Ousman Cham widely known as Ous T, the president of the movement gave his heartfelt gratitude to be a partner with Heewal Bureau Du Change in the development of Hip hop music in The Gambia. He said Hip Hop Headz is a movement which consists of Artists, journalists, promotional bodies, record producers, Hip Hop lovers with the sole objective to continue the tradition of real Hip Hop in a more respectable manner and in accordance with our values. Ous T further explained that Hop bears an undelible mark on the country's youthful population, and that prompted the movement to strive towards creating more awareness about Hip Hop in the Gambia to serve as a sustainable income generator for the youthful population. Sanna Kanteh also known as Brotha Z,  showed sincere appreciation to Heewal Bureau for their all out willingness to partner with Hip Hop Headz in their drive to resurface the definition of Hip Hop Music.culture.
