Meet Haye Frama artistically known as “Hayne”. He hails from Guyuk, Adamawa state of Nigeria, a graduate of the department of architecture, ABU Zaria. He had been a writer and singer, but started rapping in high school after hearing and miming a kanye west’s song. That moment marked the birth of a rapper in Hayne. He was a fan of kanye West, Jay-z, Talib kweli, Nas, Tupac, Bob, Twista and Drake not until he discovered Gospel hip hop. He was President of Timeless- tongues, a rap crew under the ATC Club, Zaria, and was also an artiste of CANARY Records in Jos.
Hayne juggled and struggled between being a Gospel or secular artiste not until he had an encounter with God in his first year in ABU where he found conviction and purpose. Since then he has moved with passion, unashamed to use his lyrical skill as a tool to nourish lives with good music and point them back to God. He is now a big fan of artistes like Lecrae, Da truth, Andy mineo, Tedashii, Victory, Swoope, Trip lee, KB, Deitrick, Spokesman and Mali Music amongst others. He’s been a recording artiste for 10yrs now.
Speaking about his new single, Hayne said “I know a thing or two about rejection, frustration and the feeling of being left out of the bubbling world. That feeling of pain, regret, anger, unforgiveness and self-pity. Have you ever watched a friend, family, husband, wife or the nicest person you’ve ever known killed by a wicked person”?
“That feeling of segregation, apartheid and racism? Believe me,I have fallen into the valley of indecision,confusion and disarray, that black hole where there’s loneliness and fear. I don’t always get it right,I fail sometimes. The church criticized/excommunicated us,the world threw stones at us. I’ve been through a lot of testing, and I couldn’t find nobody. I took a flight to Planet Weirdo where I found ANSWERS. I found hope and peace, answers to my hearts prayers. Yeah! The world calls us weirdos, but they ain’t got the answers, we do! God answers the prayers of his children, but according to his will. So don’t let your sin hinder you, come to his throne boldly with your problems. He will always give an answer, when you call”.
