D’Hardest Beatz was born in Bo City, Sierra Leone, and raised in Murraytown, Freetown. He made his music debut as a member of the group N.O.T.B High School Label, and later opened his own label, Just Entertainment Business. He studied business administration at the Institute of Public Administration University before dropping out to make beats and record vocal references.
He started recording music in 2014 at a studio named Rap Money Records, where he was signed as a record label artist. After a few years, he decided to study sound engineering out of his passion for music.
He came through several difficult stages in his career while helping other talented musicians. Now he has decided to show his own talent to the audience. He dropped his first music video, “Pray For Salone”, under the record label Grind24, where he was head producer — a video carrying a message of peace and love to all Sierra Leoneans.
The following year he released his own music video featuring the young talented artist Bwoy Shazz, with a song titled “Chase the Paper”. He is also working on a new genre he calls “Afrosoco” — instrumentals full of natural African sounds and Bubu melody.
He is a very talented and popular music producer in Sierra Leone.
He now lives and works in the United States, producing for artists in Sierra Leone, across the diaspora and beyond — carrying the Afrosoco sound far past the city it came from.
To know more about D’Hardest Beatz, find him on all social media platforms under his initials — “D’Hardest Beatz”.
Fifteen years behind the desk — from vocal references cut in a Freetown studio to finished records mixed and mastered for release. Every session starts with the artist’s voice, and the beat gets built around it.
Just Entertainment Business exists to find talent and see it all the way through: recording, producing, mixing and developing artists in Sierra Leone and across the diaspora. Afrosoco came out of that work — natural African drums and Bubu melody, made for the world.

Just Entertainment Business is the label D’Hardest Beatz founded to find, record and develop young talent in Sierra Leone — from the first vocal reference through to the finished record.
I came to the studio with only a melody in my head. He built the beat around my voice and had the reference down the same night. The Afrosoco sound he is making is something new for Salone.
I bought a type beat expecting the usual. What came back was mixed, mastered and ready to release. He answered every note I sent and turned the revisions around in two days.
He recorded my vocals with so much patience, take after take, until it was right. You can hear the Bubu in the drums and it still feels like worship. People stop me in Bo about that song.
I sent stems from three different sessions and they came back sounding like one record. The mix has space, the low end is clean, and nothing is fighting for room.
We used his instrumentals across a whole show season and the crowd knew the drops before the artists came out. Working with Just Entertainment Business is straightforward — he delivers on the date he says.
We signed one of the young artists he developed. Whatever he is doing with them in Freetown, the vocals arrive tight and the arrangements are already there. Easy to work with across time zones.
