How did the region of West Africa called Romarong become what we know as Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone? Romarong was a hotbed. The Mali Empire collapsed, and the Songhai came into prominence. There were the Arab and European slave trades. This story concludes when the British colonized the region. Exploring this anecdote from the natives' perspective fits Freddy Will's impression that Sierra Leone was part of the ancient Koya Empire. It also sheds light on the specific impacts of her numerous ethnic groups.
This is the musical journey of Grammy-nominated artist and author Freddy Will, a Sierra Leonean-American author in Europe. The story begins with his birth in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and his upbringing in Monrovia and Kakata, Liberia, where his interest in the performing arts peaked at a tender age. This semi-autobiography describes critical moments in his life, the circumstances that occurred after the teenager's family separated from him at the beginning of the civil war in Liberia. It tells how Hip Hop changed his fortune.
