This week on Coke Studio Africa, Ugandan legendary artist Bebe Cool impressed viewers when he performed his version of Falz’s ‘bahd baddo baddest’ hit song, successfully adding a reggae feel to the originally hip hop song.
Top Nigerian artist Falz also went out of his usual rap character and sang to Bebe Cool’s number 1 hit “Love you every day”. Both tracks were produced by Nigerian producer Gospelondebeatz, mainly known for producing successful songs with artists like Patoranking, Wizkid and Yemi Alade.
