The ‘Any man na man’ Hitmaker; Dhat Gyal has released the most awaited banger, “YOU & I”. This was released last December to successfully climax last year.
‘You & I” will be used as a pushing voice towards the fight against the gender-based violence people encounter in their daily lives yet cannot come out in the open to voice out their woes. It is a song dedicated to anyone out there who is going through an abusive relationship and feel unappreciated at any point, physically, verbally and/or emotionally abused and deserves better than being a victim.
Dhat Gyal recounts how growing up in Dome, a suburb of Accra was like. She saw on countless occasions how women especially, were abused in their relationships and led to their early graves with little or no accountability demanded from the abuser.
“It hurts me to see people go through such situations and I couldn’t do anything about their situation or help them get out of the such abusive relationship”
As a young rising star in the industry, Dhat Gyal believes she has to take up the mantle and use her own unique way of fighting against abuse.
“So as a young girl with no strength to defend these women, who are being abused physically or emotionally, I took it upon myself to educate young girls like myself to be mindful of whoever they get into a relationship with, since I don’t have other platforms to create this awareness”
“I have decided to educate all women out there; especially the young girls out there through my song. With this, I hope and I’m sure they will also listen to the lyrics and learn from it as they are also enjoying the sound”.
Dhat Gyal got the attention of Ghanaians with her lovely voice, when she released her first mashup song in 2017 which she combined Samini’s (my own) and the late Ebony’s (sponsor). She is known as the Queen of mashups.
