    • 1. Odoyewu
    • 2. Sakawa

    Roy X is the alias of Jimmy Taylor, youngest son of ghanaian Highlife/Afrobeat legend Ebo Taylor. Armed with his naturally inherited rhythm in his blood he put his teriffic rap skills on top of some cooking live played music. On "Oduyewu" he pays a lot of respect to the sound his father has created. On "Sakawa" he takes you gentle to a world of abstract dreams - it's just unique music of african origine.
