Good music is infectious; it is able to reach deep into your mind and connect with your soul or inner being no matter the genre of music. Ron Orleans Binder, alias Ronny O, is a Canadian based Ghanaian rapper who knew that he was made for the rap game from the moment he listened to the ‘Ruff Ryders’ First Lady: Eve’ album, at age 14.
