How The “Double Bangz” Movement Started!
Isa and Hassan (BB) are two well established and multi-talented artists . They started the Double Bangz movement in 2012 when the two, then solo artists, realised they shared the same passion for music, and both believed in the ethos “Team work makes the dream work”.
Their passion for music goes beyond getting famous, rather it is a platform for the duo to make positive contributions to their country and become positive role models to young people all over the world.
As Sierra Leonean artists based in the UK, they have been able to introduce their own impressive music style with hits such as ‘No Lazy, ‘Borcor’ , ‘Gbashy Gbashy ‘ and their most popular hit ‘Circulate’ Featuring the legendary Awilo Longomba.
With their unique style of live entertaining, it is therefore not suprising that fans have welcomed Double Bangz with performances in France, Holland and across UK alongside popular UK acts like Lady Leshur, Cashtastic, Mr Silva and Moe Logo. Furthermore, In 2015 they were the opening act at the Afro-beats Live event hosted by DJ Abrantee, a show that was headlined by JJC and the Big Bruvaz, at the prestigious Jazz Cafe where many established artists and musicians have given performances.
In the same 2015 Double Bangz made history by becoming the first Sierra Leonean Music Act to receive nomination in the All African KORA Music Award 2016 for BEST GROUP IN AFRICA. In the same year they won Awards for Best Video and Best Group in an online music Award held by 232Connect . In addition, the duo also won the AWOL UK Award for best Music Acts 2016.

The UK-based Sierra Leonean duo are known for their unique sound of music with catchy hooks, and this song is no different. “Murder” is a reference to the 1993 hit song by “Chaka Demus and Pliers” “Murder She Wrote”. This song has been tipped as one of the big hitters from the album, and when quizzed about this release the duo replied ” this is the moment we have been waiting for. The time to claim our place as credible artists and group who are here for the long run.
