Ruff n Smooth is a Ghanaian based music group made up of Ruff/Bullet (Ricky Nana Agyemang) & Smooth/Akhan (Clement Baah Foh).[1] Although both have been on the music scene for a while, it was not till they formed an alliance that they both gained prominence.[2] Prior to this alliance, Bullet was formerly known as Etuo Aboba (meaning Bullet) and Akhan known as Osrane (meaning Moon).[3]

Music career

Their debut album as a group has the song "Swagger", which turned out to be a rebirth of these young musicians.[4] They have become even more popular after releasing two new singles titled "Sex Machine" and "Azingele". Ruff n Smooth won the Ghana Music Group of the Year category at the City People Entertainment Awards in Lagos and were nominated for Afro Pop Song of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards.[5] Their best-known songs include "Swagger", "Sex Machine" and "Najia Baby".[6]
