19 of Africa’s hottest artistes are working on an exciting music project for one.org‘s the DO AGRIC campaign. The artistes are coming together to rebrand agriculture and tell African youths that their future is literally beneath their feet. They will be using their voices to inspire action and tell political leaders that the time has come to adopt better agricultural policies that will boost productivity, increase incomes, and help lift millions of Africans out of extreme poverty.

The song which has been titled ‘Cocoa ‘na Chocolate’ was co-produced by Cobhams Asuquo and DeeVee of DB Records and directed by Asuquo / Godfather Productions.
