The concerts, aimed at promoting youth entrepreneurship and talent development for a better life, are being organised by Gambo’s record label, BlackMob. Gambo, the reigning Vodafone Ghana Unsung Artist of the Year will be performing several of his hit songs including ‘Boys Aye Wild’, ‘Drip’, ‘Settle’ and his recently released track ‘We Outside’.

He says a lot of upcoming artists will perform at the 'Ashongman To The World' Concert, saying giving young artists the platform to showcase their talents is the main goal of the whole concert.
Gambo, the 'Settle' hitmaker said some of the youth of Ashongman are good rappers, dancers and comedians "but they don't have a stage" to showcase their talents, saying "I am glad that I am able to provide the stage for the cause."
Several youth of Ashongman, some of them young artists managers, turned filled the City Eye Restaurant to express their love for Gambo and to urge him to continue being a blessing to them. They expressed the belief such concerts will give them the needed exposure.
