R2Bees to Perform Live in New York City

by Meghan Reid, 9:29pm August 21, 2014,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: R2Bees are the Afrobeat band of the moment in Ghana. The Afrobeats duo consists of MC’s Paedae da Pralem and Mugeez. Hailing from the port city of Tema, they blew up after releasing “Kiss Your Hand” in 2009, feat. Nigerian star Wande Coal. The group’s style mixes well­executed raps with hooks slathered in auto­tune and club­ready beats. As for the name: R2Bees stands for the band’s motto, “Refuse To Be Broke,” and if you believe their champagne­soaked videos (served with a side of private plane), the mantra seems to be working.Signed to its own label, R2Bees Entertainment, R2Bees have shared the same stage with internationally acclaimed music stars including Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Fabulous and Red Café.R2Bees has also performed in several countries including United Kingdom, United States of America and the Netherlands, and also collaborated with artistes such as UK’s Tinchy Stryder and Nigerian musicians, Wizkid, Davido and Wande Coal. R2Bees have been internationally acclaimed for their work having been nominated for a BET Award in 2013 (Best International Artist) as well as numerous other awards in Ghana and abroad. They have also been featured on numerous global media platforms including MTV and Okayplayer.com.

This band is gearing up to make big strides in the US market and will be making their US debut Friday August 22nd at the Armenia Ballroom, 630, 2nd Avenue, New York in the United States. The event is being organised by R2Bees Entertainment in collaboration with Safo Entertainment, Stylin Doc, CHALE and Africalabash.
