After 8yrs in UK Hip-Hop/Ragga group London Posse (after a mind blowing trip to Sierra Leone) Obodai Bionic retired aged 27 exclaiming "It's time to let the younger generation take over". Through the years he continued making music to stay match fit but was on a mission to change from a former negative lifestyle to a positive one.

After being continually pleaded with to release new material he finally broke on a trip to Ghana 5yrs ago when he realised it was time to put some positive vibrations out into the universe to outweigh his past negative ones. 

Now in 2016 he's back with his debut track GH, featuring the fabulous Luther GH. Which is part of a new EP to be released while he completes his album.
