Very sad to hear of the passing of one of the most talented musicians I managed from day one. Kofi B was an exceptionally talented musician and it was a delight spending time with him in the studio with Ofori Amponsah at the turn of the last millennium.
Sleep well B!
People will begin to see you when you’re dead.
-RIP Kofi B
