The Bossman ( Mr Oga), who brought us the highly-acclaimed singles, "Won
Ni" and "TGFF", is here again with yet another breathtaking follow-up effort, aptly
titled "To Ma'" which is a contraction of a popular slang that means
"To Marry".
Are you in need of words to win over your dream girl?
Or maybe you just want to appreciate the woman in your life? The
Bossman teaches it from a wealth of experience in this new and catchy hit song titled "To Ma". The Bossman himself unveils his romantic
side as he chats up the girl he has set his eyes on, and drops line
after line of mouth watering flows to ensure that her heart melts for
him. He employs the chemical beat-making magic formula of
producer & medical doctor Dr Sankty [of 17-17 AudioLaB], who
provides the appropriate velvety sonic background on which the Bossman
paints his vivid picture of love.
Definitely a must listen!

Says the music doctor:
"Basically, the core idea [of #Escapology] is to express my creative yearnings in the music prduction aspect of things by showcasing what can happen when highly skilled artistry meets up-to-date, professional production/engineering paradigms. So every month, on the first monday, which we will tag #Escapology Mondays, premiering in May 2012, we will drop a fresh new joint, produced by me and starring the vocal prowess of an artist or artists with proven credibility in the game."
Armed with a Diploma in Music production & Audio Engineering from the Audio Institute of America, as well as his Bachelor of Medicine & Surgery degree, Dr Sankty is clearly well qualified to make that medico-musical magic happen once again.
See you on the 7th of May for the first #Escapology Monday!
