A.k.a Penko Baba or PK! with the PK coming from the name Penko. He does a beautiful mix of rap,Jamaican,Makossa, hip hop! Making his brand of musik quite unik. Truth is , after all is said and done, what really matters is the message in the song.

The Beginning

This artist got into the game a while back, as early as 2007, while he was in his second year at the University Of Buea . He was lucky to have friends who shared his passion and they decided to come together and do something about their rap dream!

There was Jack and Steve, together they came up with a song that was recorded by Melcube. Tho this project never saw the light of day ,it instilled in them the burning fire to want more.

E be get e own kind checking dem when it comes to record label dem . Reason why instead of trying to get signed by one ,together with a fellow artist Jahmez, who shares his dream ,they started their own Record label.

Freeboy Entertainment

FREEBOY ENTERTAINMENT was born in 2010, and has been doing some good work ever since thanks to the relentless effort of Penko and Jahmez (who are the two official artists for now) who deserve a pat on the back given that they had no experience nor knowledge on how to go about it, and they didn’t have any financial assistance either.

Worthy of note is the fact that Penko is also a spoken word artist and competed in the Goethe Institute project called Stories Across Africa(2014) where he was 3rd runner up !impressive right!

That’s not all, he was meant to represent Cameroon at the FLUPP spoken word contest organized by the British council in Brazil(2014) in which Cameroon was one of the African countries that made it to the World Cup in that year.

Unfortunately, he could not get support from the ministry of culture for tickets and sponsorship due to short notice. Sad right!

He performed at the YAFE where he made a brief appearance alongside Fayah K-lionne on second stage. It may have been brief but this act played a major role in helping him advance in his music career.

He has been part of many Collabos on songs like “Yamoh” with Spido, D-Godz, Jahmez and a whole lot of other artists from across the continent of which will be made public in due time.

His first solo recording was in 2010 with DJ Kenny and it was titled “Way Out”. It was never officially released but he send this project back to the studio a couple of times, plans to release one of the versions on his upcoming project.
