Ace Highlife Musician, Nana Fynn Releases EP To Mark New Brand Name, 2 Lock
Peerless highlife legend and music producer, Nana Fynn has had a change of brand to mark the new sphere of music journey he is exploring presently.
The super ace musician who is best known for hits like, “Menkoaaa”, “Odo Handkerchief”, “Odo Enduro”, “I do”, etc was away for some time from the music scene composing himself for the new task in music he is pursuing.
The virtuoso musician wishes all and sundry to now know and refer to him him as “2 Lock”, a reggae musician instead of the old Nana Fynn, a highlife artiste he went by.
He asserts that the change of brand name is symbolic and appropriate for the new tangent he is on. He explained that the new name, “2 Lock” is a representation of the two facets of life which are, “the reality part”, which is the actual realm we are living and the “imaginative part”, which is how we imagine we should live. The merge between the two to find a perfect balance of life is where he moulded his new name, “2 Lock” from.
Nana Fynn always had music in him since his whole family was into music. His mother had been a choirister from her teen age. His father, whom he learnt to play most music instruments from, was the first black man at the Royal Marine School of Music in the UK, and at a point became the Dean Of Music Department in Lagos State University.
Nana Fynn during his long hiatus off releasing songs produced songs for music greats like Sarkodie, Becca, Yaa Pono, Danso Abbeam, Shasha Marley, Black Rasta, Sammy B, Anita Obeng et al.
Nana Fynn, now 2 Lock, is back into the music locale solely as a reggae artiste. He released a full reggae EP to mark this feet in 2023. The EP, “On Lockdown” had five reggae songs.
Check out the “On Lockdown” from below.
2 Lock now working with Brand Africa Group management and publishing company, is set to release a fresh reggae tune dubbed, “Sweet Time Lover” early next month. He entreats all his music lovers and fans to anticipate the new single.

Shatta Wale Exposes King Ayisoba Over False Claim On Hammer Time Show
A shocking revelation has sent shockwaves through Ghana’s music industry, as dancehall icon Shatta Wale has come forward to dispute a claim made by legendary musician King Ayisoba. The controversy surrounds the circumstances under which Shatta Wale, then known as Bandana, met the late Terry Bonchaka, a Ghanaian music legend.
Terry Bonchaka’s legacy continues to inspire and influence a new generation of Ghanaian musicians. His impact on the music scene was immense, and his friendships with emerging artists like Shatta Wale, King Ayisoba, and Kay Smooth are well-documented. However, a recent interview with King Ayisoba on Hammer Time has sparked a heated debate about how the three met.
In the interview, King Ayisoba made the astonishing claim that he and another artist, Biblicman, were responsible for introducing Shatta Wale to Terry Bonchaka. This assertion has been met with skepticism by many, and Shatta Wale has now come forward to set the record straight.
In a separate interview on “Time With Hammer”, Shatta Wale provided a detailed account of how he met Terry Bonchaka. Contrary to King Ayisoba’s claim, Shatta Wale revealed that it was Terry who rather introduced himself and Ayisoba to each other. This testimony is corroborated by Kay Smooth himself, who shared his version of events in a recent video.
In the video, Kay Smooth explained that he was friends with Terry Bonchaka and attended school with Shatta Wale. When Shatta Wale expressed his admiration for Terry’s style and requested an introduction, Kay Smooth facilitated the meeting. This account provides the final piece of the puzzle, confirming that King Ayisoba’s claim was indeed false.
The controversy surrounding King Ayisoba’s claim has sparked a lively debate about the importance of honesty and integrity in the music industry. Shatta Wale’s response and Kay Smooth’s corroborating account have provided clarity on the circumstances surrounding their meeting with Terry Bonchaka.
As the music community continues to evolve, it is essential that we prioritize truth and accuracy in our narratives.
