Prior to this, he had debuted in 2018 with Patience, a new-age conscious type of Reggae that definitely gained him notoriety. His niche was a sultry combination of fluid Patois dialect with smooth Hip-Hop & RnB transitioning which resonated well with the females as evident with the release of Bad Gyal and Jam Gyal as far back as 2016.
Ric Spade's most recent release Matic 4Eva, an original Dancehall production, saw the young artiste’s stance solidified as one of Ghana’s promising acts to watch out for.
