BongoByTheWay

Uforo Imeh Ebong (born 1989), known professionally as Bongo ByTheWay (formerly Bongo the Drum Gahd) is a Nigerian record producer, best known for producing songs for Kanye West, The Game, Lecrae, and Teyana Taylor, among others.

L&F parted ways amicably in 2015 to pursue individual songwriting and production careers.
