R2Bees is a Ghanaian hip hop and hiplife duo from Tema made up of two cousins, Faisal Hakeem and Rashid Mugeez. They were nominated at the 2013 BET Awards.

Beginning their career early, they started off representing their school in rap competitions as well as inter-school music contests.

This led them to participate in the popular radio competition Kasahare, which they won most of and also performed at most shows; gaining them more buzz under their stage name at that time.

R2bees are also recognised in the Ghanaian music industry as legends because of their major outstanding achievements – Camp Yard.

R2Bees released their first single in August 2008 titled ‘Yawa Gal’ and became an instant hit. They then went on to release ‘I Dey Mad’, a chart-topper across Ghana. 'I Dey Mad' featured Unda Melodies. The song topped most Ghanaian Radio Music Charts for weeks.
