The mother of Hip-hop musician, Fareed, will turn a year older on Thursday, January 5 and as such, the

rapper and his management, Bamba Records, have decided to release his first music video on her

birthday to honour her.

Fareed, who broke through the mainstream business last year with “Hip-hop Alhaji” featuring Brenya,

finally has a classic music video to kick-start the year 2017.

Explaining why he dedicated the video to his mum, Fareed said “Words can't describe how special my

mum is to me. This (Hip-hop Alhaji) been my first ever official music video, why not dedicate it to the love

of my life. Plus, 5th January happens to be my mum’s birthday too.”

Commenting on his mother’s special role in his life, Fareed noted “Growing up, my dad was outside the

country. So my mum played both roles. You can imagine how difficult that would be. I know I put her

through a lot of troubles.”

Fareed urged his fans to expect ‘originality and dopeness’ when “Hip-hop Alhaji” music video drops.

“Fans should expect dopeness and originality. This is not your usual Ghana music video.”

“Hip-hop Alhaji” music video was directed by Jeneral Jay.
