    Eugene Baah, Steven Fiawoo, and Nana Kwame

Praye is made up of Eugene Baah, Steven Fiawoo, and Nana Kwame.
Eugene is also known as Azorpete and Praye hO ne hO (in between), Steven Fiawoo is known as Big J and Praye tiatia (short) while nana Kwame is known as Kente and Praye tenten (tall). Praye means 'broom' in English and even though figuratively, a broom is used to refer to unity, this group insists they chose the name because they want to sweep away social vices from their society.

They got their big break into the music scene by emerging victorious in NESCAFE's African Revelations pop contest, where they placed first in Ghana, and won the West Africa competition as well. They rode the success of their hits Shordy, Efie ne fie, and Lasupadora (named after a popular Spanish telenovela shown in Ghana) to a Kora award for best group from West Africa.

They are known for their funny lyrics and even though they are normally classified under hiplife, they are more of an African pop group, combining rhythm and blues, pop and rap music. Their lyrics and videos are also very funny.

Their third album Roll Koll 2008, came out in 2008 and is enjoying a lot of airplay. The album is released on Goals Multimedia Record label owned by the young super star striker of Black Stars, Prince Tagoe.

Some of their songs are Medo wo, Angelina, Wodin (Your name), Courage brother, Kooko ase krakye, Odo, Somebody dey carry my wife, etc.

They call themselves "lyricists who paint pictures with words & phrases". There is some controversy over whether they stole the Shordy song from one of Praye Tenten's friends. Anyway, the Broomx Entertainment guys are back again with Angelina. Watch the video here. It's sure to keep the dancefloors busy, hiplife is not dead y'all.
