According to Kofi, after the song was done, several attempts to get Sarkodie to take part in the video shoot, proved futile.

He made this revelation while responding to an X user who complained that Kofi Mole did not do enough promotion for the song.

“One day, ago organise kanta boys make we put Kofi Mole for table make we lash am. Promo no enter this song inside koraa. You made a whole Sarkodie turn Bruno Mars,” the social media user wrote in Pidgin English.

In his response, Kofi wrote: “I was ready to shoot a video, but never got any response from Sark and the team after multiple texts and calls. I let that slide.”

This comment has re-ignited the issue of Sarkodie not responding to calls and messages from people, especially those he has business relations with in the industry.

Ivorean music superstar Freddy Meiway, Nigerian singer Yemi Alade, Ghanaian dancehall giant Samini, rapper Edem, among others, have raised concerns about Sarkodie’s wanton unresponsiveness to people’s calls, requests and messages.

The highly anticipated project represents a transformative journey for the young artist, merging Afrobeat with a unique fusion of sounds to narrate his personal experiences.

This is not just another collection of tracks—it is a deeply personal body of work, a reflection of real-life events, and an outcry against oppression and inner turmoil.

AlorG, born Alodia Gyamfi, grew up on the west side of Ghana, where music quickly became his lifeline. As he shares his first official project with the world, ‘Down I’m A Rebel‘ captures a rollercoaster of emotions built over seven months.

The EP’s soundscape draws from Afrobeat roots, but AlorG’s unique infusion of influences makes each track an emotional experience, as raw as it is rebellious. Each of the eight tracks in the EP tells its own story. Songs like ‘Lonely and Paranoid’ dig deep into his darkest moments, where feelings of isolation and anxiety come to life through vulnerable lyrics.

AlorG describes the writing process for this particular song as one of the hardest, having written it during a difficult period. It’s not just music—it’s a cry for help, a testament to the mental battles that many young people like him face.

At the core of ‘Down I’m A Rebel‘ is the title track, a bold anthem that speaks directly to rebellion—not just in the political sense, but as a personal stance against oppression in all forms. This track, like the others, carries a message of hope.

AlorG aims to remind listeners that no matter how challenging life becomes, they are not alone. His music resonates with those facing struggles and encourages them to push through.

The event, which was held in the lively town of Afienya, lasted for four days from December 26th to December 29th and featured a diverse array of performances.

Hosted by the Afienya Development Committee, the festival highlighted the cultural richness of the town, and Lord Morrgan’s performance on the 28th marked a major highlight of the event.

The night, which was part of the Durbar of Chiefs and Artist Night, saw an electrifying atmosphere as multiple local artists took the stage.

However, it was Lord Morrgan’s high-energy Afrobeat performance that truly stole the spotlight.

The musician’s set included crowd favourites like Party Time, Be Nice to Me, Baby, Ayalolo, Drink Something, and Kpanla. His ability to blend infectious rhythms with meaningful lyrics resonated deeply with the local fans, who sang back-to-back with him throughout the night.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came when a fan threw cash at Lord Morrgan in an act of appreciation, a gesture that was reciprocated by Morrgan’s team.

In a show of generosity, they returned the money, scattering it amongst the crowd to spread the joy. But the surprises didn’t end there: the artist, known for his genuine connection with his fans, pulled out bundles of cash from his own pocket and showered the audience with them.

Perhaps the most heartwarming moment came when Lord Morrgan invited a fan on stage after the fan jokingly asked for anything from the artist. True to his word, Lord Morrgan gifted the fan his own sneakers, sparking cheers and applause from the crowd.

The night also highlighted Lord Morrgan’s loyalty to his fanbase, many of whom are from the surrounding areas, and who have embraced his music as an expression of their own culture. The chemistry between the artist and his fans was palpable, and it was clear that Lord Morrgan’s music resonates deeply with the tribe.

Before the performance, Lord Morrgan shared an exciting update with the audience: he recently travelled to Turkey to shoot the music video for his hit song, Kpanla.

Looking ahead to 2025, he promised even greater musical projects, which are sure to keep his growing fanbase on the edge of their seats.

During the event, the Afrobeat star also addressed a question from the audience about why he doesn’t perform frequently at other shows in Ghana.

With characteristic humor and confidence, Morrgan revealed that his fees are on par with some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, and Sarkodie, which makes it challenging for most event organizers to meet his requirements.

The night was made even more special by the attendance of local dignitaries, including Members of Parliament, Assembly Members, Chiefs, and other notable figures in society.

Lord Morrgan’s performance at Afienya Fest 2024 will surely be remembered as one of the most dynamic and fan-engaging performances of the year.

As he continues to rise in prominence, fans can expect more unforgettable moments like these in the future. Morrgan’s promise to share more stage experiences in 2025 is a testament to his unwavering commitment to his craft and his audience.

The release marks a significant milestone for the artist, who has been teasing the video on social media for weeks.

“God’s Time” has already garnered substantial attention and praise for its uplifting lyrics and soulful melody.

The song, which emphasizes patience and faith, resonates deeply with listeners, making it a standout track in Trudy’s discography.

The official video is a visual feast, complementing the song’s powerful message with stunning cinematography and heartfelt storytelling.

Trudy’s team has hinted at a narrative that captures the essence of waiting for the right moment and trusting in a higher power.

Fans can can enjoy the video on Trudy’s official YouTube channel and other streaming platforms.

As the video is released, excitement is building, and the music community is eagerly awaiting what is sure to be a memorable start to the new year.

Initially intended as a full-length album, the project will now be released as a six-track EP before the year ends.

The decision, he revealed in a post on Instagram, stems from his commitment to traditional collaborative methods, which he believes have slowed the album’s progress.

“It looks like staying true to producer principles has cost me valuable time in completing the Upper Echelon album,” Hammer wrote.

He emphasized his aversion to the modern practice of emailing beats, which he believes undermines the creative chemistry of making music in shared spaces.

The producer explained that, out of 13 songs initially planned for the album, six are ready to be released as an EP.

Additionally, the remaining seven tracks, he said, will be unveiled in three months under a new project titled “Roadmen.”

“I’m confident these six will suffice in meeting the heightened level of anticipation surrounding my return to music,” he added, expressing gratitude to fans for their patience and enthusiasm.

A viral video that captured Fameye lambasting a DJ for not playing the right songs while he was performing, has generated conversations in the media circles.

In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Medikal shared his opinion on the matter, stating that he would be angry if it happened to him too.

“I think he was right, because I’ll be vexed if I’m performing and the DJ messes up,” he told Andy Dosty.

Medikal also addressed organisation of the event and the need to rehearse with DJs for a flawless performance.

Meanwhile, Fameye’s management has issued a statement on the incident, describing what happened as “unprofessional.”

“While we understand that technical issues and miscommunications can arise in live performances, the level of unprofessionalism displayed was disappointing and disrespectful to both Fameye and his loyal fans. This incident disrupted the flow of what should have been a memorable experience for everyone in attendance,” he noted.

They indicate that they made numerous attempts to bring either Fameye’s official DJ from Ghana or Belgium to ensure a memorable performance for his fans.

Unfortunately, they could not reach an agreement with the organisers, as they insisted on using a DJ they had already booked for his session.

“This approach does not align with the standard practices of the Fameye brand. However, out of respect for the fans, we chose to work with the arrangements provided. Sadly, this decision has come at a great cost, as it impacted Fameye’s ability to deliver the outstanding performance we had promised his fans,” they noted.

Speaking on Daybreak Hitz, Kinaata noted that Fameye had rehearsed with the DJ as expected but suggested that unexpected lapses or technical errors could disrupt a show.

He told Andy Dosty, “Unless the machine freezes, we won’t know what happened.”

Nonetheless, Kinaata highlighted how DJs lacking essential skills, like knowing when to pause, skip or repeat tracks, could negatively affect a performance.

“There are some DJs who don’t even know how to pause songs. They’ll let you perform fully, so you have to give them signs or break intentionally,” he said.

He urged artistes to stay vigilant during performances to avoid being unfairly blamed for disruptions, noting that both DJs and band members could make or break a live show.

The rapper openly discussed how he took a step away from social media and disconnected communication with his management team amidst his separation from his ex-wife and co-parenting journey.

“It wasn’t a lie, I took out my SIM, I blocked my manager as well,” Medikal said.

Despite these personal hurdles, Medikal was reassuring about his role as a co-parent.

“Her mom is taking good care of her, we are all taking good care of her,” he further noted.

When asked why he was so vocal about the details of his separation, he stated, ”that is the best way, afi ease my pain-to be vocal. I’m like yo, this is what it is. Everybody for shut up and then listen to me and the move on.”

Andy Dosty asked whether he was dating someone else at the moment after his separation with ex-wife, which he responded: ”Yeah, me I have somebody, I have peace now. I am fixed just that I don’t want to put my love life and all those things out there.”

When asked if he’s dating the First Lady [sister Deborah], as social media post shows him and his first ex-girlfriend, “President of stubborn academy for a reason.”

Medikal’s candid admission offers a glimmer into the complexities of balancing personal life with public persona, describing life as superstar who can’t control a lot of things out there when bloggers misquote him or change his narratives.

“There are a lot of things you can’t control”, reminding his fans of the importance of self-care and family.

Fella Makafui and Medikal announced their separation in May 2024, four years after getting married and agreed to co-parent their daughter Island.

As he continues to inspire others through his music and dedication to cultural heritage, it is clear that he will remain a prominent figure in Ghana’s evolving music landscape.

He made this known in an interview on the Daybreak Hitz show, hosted by Andy Dosty, while he outlined his music plan for the new year.

When Andy Dosty asked if he would not feature his good friend Shatta Wale, Medikal responded “Akyedudu” which means, “he’s a lawyer by himself.”

The conversation exposed the chemistry and mutual respect between Medikal and Shatta Wale in their future interaction collaborations.

Medikal also shared he doesn’t take money for a feature and that in 2025 he would rather focus on himself and his upcoming EP.’

Nonetheless, in the latter part of the interview he said, “even if I will feature someone, I will be the one to put the person on my song, not the other way round.”

Meanwhile, Medikal is preparing for a hangout concert at the Ghud Park (Accra Mall) on December 26, 2024 at 6: pm.

The concert is said to be headlined by Medikal and Shatta Wale.

The song has become the anthem of the party’s campaign, resonating with Ghanaians across the nation as the 2024 presidential election results unfold.

In a dramatic turn of events, Vice President and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has conceded defeat ahead of the Electoral Commission’s (EC) official declaration.

This concession clears the path for NDC flagbearer John Mahama to secure his second term as President of Ghana.

Dr. Bawumia, on Sunday, congratulated Mr. Mahama and called for unity in moving the nation forward.

The atmosphere at the NDC headquarters in Accra has been jubilant, with party supporters celebrating the anticipated victory.

Many attribute the campaign’s success to a strategic focus on grassroots mobilization and the inspirational power of Kwen Kwen, which has captured the aspirations of Ghanaians for change.

Prior to the elections, John Mahama himself commended the artist for his ability to align his songs with the message of his campaign, praising his creativity as second to none.

The Electoral Commission is expected to announce the final results soon, but provisional figures from various polling centers nationwide indicate a decisive win for John Mahama.

The NDC is also projected to gain a majority in Parliament, further solidifying its mandate to govern

This patriotic anthem brings together an array of renowned Ghanaian voices in a creative peace advocacy effort, with notable contributions from Cwesi Oteng, Perez Musik, Efe Grace, Mary Ghansah, Diana Hopeson, former Musicians Union President, and Pastor Ella Somuah of ICGC.

My Ghana, Your Ghana is more than just a song—it’s a timely call for unity, hope, and peace, especially in the lead-up to Ghana’s December 2024 elections.

The song encourages national pride, harmony, and togetherness while celebrating the values that unite the nation.

However, its message is not confined to the political sphere—it’s a timeless appeal for peace and cooperation.

The song’s powerful coalition features an impressive lineup of seventeen influential personalities, including media figures like Gifty Anti, Fred Amugi, Edinam Atatsi, Gloria Sarfo, Roselyn Ngissah, Professor Patience Abor (Wegeiwor), Kafui Dey, and journalist Portia Gabor, alongside key figures like Sulemana Braimah, Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa.

The video also showcases sixteen children from the Sap’s School in Teshie, further adding to the song’s universal appeal.

Jackie Ankrah, who holds a Master’s degree in Security Studies and frequently MCs at high-level security engagements, explains that the My Ghana, Your Ghana project has been a “knowledge-led labor of love.”

The song’s moderate tempo is intentionally designed to promote reflection, drawing from UNESCO’s principle that “wars begin in the minds of men.”

She advocates for the inclusion of reflective, peaceful dialogue in Ghanaian music, countering the often protest-focused, high-energy songs typical of political campaigns.

Although the song is timed for the upcoming elections, its message is meant to resonate well beyond them.

It advocates for broadening the definition of stakeholders in peace-building to include women, youth, and other community groups.

The central message is clear: for true peace to prevail, there must be a collective interest in humanity’s betterment, symbolized by My Ghana, Your Ghana.

The video, directed by Lesley Osei Kwame and shot by Boblinkin, showcases a professional and classy production, capturing the grandeur of Independence Square, the Roman Black Star Gate, and the Unknown Warrior Memorial.

The blend of music, stage, and film stars pays homage to the diverse and rich performance culture of Ghana.

Overall, My Ghana, Your Ghana has been met with widespread goodwill, and its message of unity and peace was recently recognized when the group performed at the signing of the Presidential Election Peace Pact 2024 at the Kempinski Hotel.

Fans are encouraged to mark their calendars and prepare for an electrifying evening with one of Ghana’s top artists.

Speaking on Okay FM during her visit to Ghana, she shared how she first encountered the award-winning artiste and how it changed her perception of the country.

“I was surprised to know Stonebwoy is from Ghana when I first heard his song in Jamaica,” Spice said. “I thought it was a Jamaican delivering that sound, but I was told he’s from Ghana. That’s how I discovered the entire country.”

Spice, known for her contributions to global dancehall music, expressed her admiration for Ghanaian artistes and their role in putting the country on the map through the genre.

She noted that her interest in Ghana deepened as she began to follow Stonebwoy and explore other artistes from the region.

The Jamaican star is currently in Ghana to shoot the music video for Jille & Whine, a viral track from Stonebwoy’s Up and Running album.

Recounting M.anifest and Sarkodie’s Brown Paper Bag collaboration in 2020, he noted, “I enjoy both of them. But of course, more of the time I’m enjoying my son than anybody else.”

The collaboration was on the back of a lyrical feud in 2016 which began with Sarkodie’s song Bossy, in which he crowned himself Ghana’s top rapper.

M.anifest countered with god MC but Sarkodie responded with Kanta which aimed an attack on M.anifest’s rap style and fashion sense.

In an interview on Hitz FM, Ras Kuuku voiced concerns that despite their contributions, both he and Yaa Pono continue to be overlooked.

He highlighted his role in supporting the careers of emerging artists, only to be sidelined once they rise to fame.

“There are many artists in Ghana who I helped groom, but once they made it, they didn’t recognize me,” he said.

“Even before Ebony became popular, Bullet reached out to me to collaborate with her. Yaa Pono has also done a lot for others, but he hasn’t been appreciated as he should.”

Ras Kuuku went on to assert his standing as the country’s top live performer, saying, “When it comes to performance in Ghana, I am the best. I may not have had as many opportunities to showcase this, but in live band or beat performances, no one comes close.”

Released as the first track off his upcoming EP, the song captures Kro Leo’s journey and celebrates the unique culture and vibrancy of his hometown.

Since its debut, Somanya Flowers has been a fixture on major radio stations, gaining traction and setting the stage for what fans can expect from his upcoming project, slated for release next summer.

Kro Leo, born Stephen Owusu on March 6, 1983, has been a cornerstone in the Ghanaian music scene for years.

His career began as a teenager, and his talents quickly expanded beyond performing to songwriting, executive producing, artiste management, and event organizing.

In the early 2000s, he moved to London, where he worked alongside renowned artistes like Doneo, sharing the same record label and gaining experience on the international stage. He also performed alongside celebrated Ghanaian artistes such as SBS, Nana Kwame, and Sonnie Achiba.

Meanwhile, Kro Leo’s first mixtape, released in 2009 in England, marked a milestone in his career.

Over the years, he’s shifted his focus to support other artistes, founding New Stool Entertainment and NSMF Global, a record label and artiste booking agency.

However, he made a powerful return to the mic in 2020, captivating fans with hits like C’vous which won him the Diaspora Afropop Artiste of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards France in 2022.

The following year, he secured the Diaspora Best Collaboration Award for his single God On My Mind, featuring Agye.

His recent collaboration with King Jerry on Ebaa Gbebo has further solidified his influence in the Ghanaian music scene.

Now with Somanya Flowers, Kro Leo offers fans a heartfelt tribute that not only honours his roots but also hints at the themes and sounds of his forthcoming EP.

The project promises to be just the beginning of a new chapter, as Kro Leo continues to bring Afro/Dancehall to international audiences while celebrating the essence of Ghanaian culture.

In the song released on November 1 , 2024, the Germany-based reggae singer questions the purpose of voting in Africa, where corruption is rampant, particularly among the ruling class.

David Oscar, known for his thought-provoking approach to handling societal issuesin his songs, takes on corruption among African leaders at a critical time when Ghanaians are about to elect new leaders to run the country’s affairs.

This 8-track masterpiece marks their triumphant return to the scene, reuniting all the original members DarkoVibes, $pacely, RJZ, KiddBlack, and Nxwrth along with a few notable guest artists, including King Promise, Oxlade, and others. 

“True Colors”: A Celebration of Unity and Evolution 

True Colors is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a testament to the growth and evolution of each La Même Gang member.

After spending the past few years carving out their individual identities in the music industry, the group has come together to showcase their collective artistry, blending their unique styles and experiences into a cohesive and dynamic project. 

The album kicks off with Questions, setting the tone with its introspective lyrics and infectious rhythm. From the reflective vibes of C’est La Vie to the love-infused Odo ni Sika and the upbeat energy of Omoge, the album captures the diverse musical influences that have shaped La Même Gang.

A track like Wash My Pain Away delves into deeper the themes of life’s struggles and triumphs, while Gang Riddim and Dangerous bring an unmistakable energy that’s sure to resonate with fans old and new. 

A Journey of Self-Discovery and Reconnection 

The journey leading up to True Colors has been one of self-discovery and reconnection for La Même Gang.

In 2023, the collective released the Let’s Start a Riot EP, which signalled their intent to disrupt the status quo and set the stage for a new chapter in their careers.

This year’s album builds on that momentum, reflecting the personal and artistic growth each member has undergone. 

Collaborations That Elevate the Sound 

Adding to the album’s richness are collaborations with the global 5-Star King Promise and the soft sensational vocals of Oxlade, among others, who bring their own unique flavours to the mix.

These features are more than just guest appearances; they are integral to the narrative of True Colors, enhancing the album’s depth and appeal. 

La Même Gang: A Legacy of Innovation 

Since their formation, La Même Gang has been at the forefront of Ghana’s music scene, pushing boundaries and setting trends with their genre-defying sound.

Known for blending elements of Afrobeats, Trap, and Alternative music, the group has created a legacy of innovation that continues to influence the next generation of artists. 

With True Colors, La Même Gang reaffirms their status as trailblazers in the industry.

The album is a bold and unapologetic statement of who they are—both as individuals and as a collective—showing that, despite the time apart, their chemistry remains as strong as ever.

Anticipation and Release 

As anticipation builds, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the release of True Colors.

The album promises to be a defining moment in La Même Gang’s career, offering listeners a glimpse into the hearts and minds of the artists who have shaped Ghana’s contemporary music landscape.

At the album’s release party on October 23, Stonebwoy, who is the current TGMA Artiste of the Year, noted that prioritising an award over his fans’ satisfaction would be a “great disservice.”

He clarified that while a Grammy nomination and win would be welcomed, it was not the driving force behind the album’s creation.

“Really and truly God knows my heart…If it does happen to qualify and win, it will be part of the things that will speed up my art and craft but then it is not my sole intention that I am creating this album for the Grammys else if it doesn’t win then I think that I will be doing a lot of disservice to the people who are beyond award schemes; the fans, the loved ones and those who relate to the music for their personal life.

“I do not really do music targeting an award scheme. It is good when you qualify, etc but I don’t think it makes sense to think that I am doing this particular album for the Grammys.

“If it does qualify for all the features that I have done, of course we must receive it because it’s worth it,” Stonebwoy said.

Despite his impressive career, Stonebwoy, born Livingstone Etsa Satekla is among Ghana’s top musicians yet to receive a Grammy nomination.

Reggae musician, Ricky Dawuni is the only Ghanaian artiste who has earned a number of Grammy nominations. Unfortunately, he is yet to grab a Grammy Award after four attempts.

UP & RUNNIN6 includes early chart-topping global smashes “JEJEREJE” feat. Amsterdam’s record producer Ginton, “EKELEBE” feat. Nigerian rap sensation ODUMODUBLVCK, “PRAY FOR ME” feat. Multi-Grammy winning Hatian rapper Wyclef Jean, and “YOUR BODY,” all of which have accumulated millions of streams and dominated radio airplay on notable music networks.

The album also features the new track and video “MEMORIES,” featuring Ir Sais, as well as notable guest appearances from Legendary Nigerian singer Duncan Mighty, Blvk H3ro, KaylanArnold, Chi Ching Ching, Amaria BB, Spice, Jahmiel, 10Tikkand Larruso.

Speaking about the feature selection in a recent GRAMMY interview, Stonebwoy said: “I’m just paying attention to an inner quest of moving in the UP & RUNNIN6 direction, without necessarily looking at the technicalities. I am moving with a vibrational understanding, but I’m just realizing now what meaning I’m making on a technical level.”

UP & RUNNIN6 is a “welcome return to the BET award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated composer’s roots after much sonic exploration.”

This full-length collection showcases his signature Afro-Caribbean sound while blending Afrobeat, Dancehall, Reggae, Highlife, Amapiano, and R&B across 13 tracks. This project highlights his versatility and commanding vocal presence, delving into themes of introspection, romance, spirituality, and empowerment–a collage of intensity, highs and lows and ebbs and flows–as evident in songs like “PSALM 23,” “BETTA TIN,” “SHINE,” “LOVELY WEATHER,” “GEOGRAPHY,” “PRAY FOR ME” and “FVCK UP SUMMER.”

The album also sees the two-time Ghana Music Awards Artiste of the Year working with numerous producers, including Samsney, Bijan Amir, Jon P, Dave Nunes, TK Kayembe & Blake, Sammy Soso, Ginton, Shyne, Streetbeatz, TK Kayembe, Young Lee, Mix Master Garzy, and Nana Rouges.

UP & RUNNIN6 is a bold and unapologetic flex of Stonebwoy’s versatility – the project not only reflects his artistic evolution, but also his commitment to pushing the boundaries of global music.

The album continues his rich legacy of groundbreaking albums, including ‘’Grade 1,” ‘’Necessary Evil,” the Billboard-rated ‘’Epistles of Mama,” the 2020 Reggae Ville Album of the Year, ‘’Anloga Junction,” and 2023’s commercially successful album ‘’5TH DIMENSION,” which peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard World Reggae Album Chart

Known for her powerful voice and inspirational songs, Gina has carved a niche in the gospel music world with tracks like Eye Nokore, which touched many hearts.

Her new song is anticipated to deliver the same spirit-filled message, promising a worship experience that deepens the listener’s connection with God.

Gina Doe wears many hats, embodying the roles of a wife, mother, songwriter, recording artist, and CEO of The Gidoe’s World, her brand that reflects her diverse talents and spiritual journey.

She is also the founder of the She Warriors Prayer Surge, a movement focused on empowering women through prayer and spiritual growth.

Her passion for ministry extends beyond music; she is dedicated to uplifting others through worship, prayer, and community initiatives.

Additionally, Gina is a skilled graphic designer, merging her artistic abilities with her faith-based mission.

Speaking about her new song, Gina hinted at a fresh yet timeless sound that seeks to inspire devotion and trust in God’s promises.

“Ye Dan Wo,” which translates to “we lean on you,” invites listeners to find comfort and strength in their faith, especially during challenging times. The song’s composition and lyrics are rooted in a message of surrender to God’s will, encouraging believers to rest in His unwavering care.

The upcoming release follows the success of Eye Nokore, which gained widespread recognition for its message of gratitude and praise.

With Ye Dan Wo, Gina aims to take her music ministry to new heights, delivering another gospel anthem that will resonate across congregations, playlists, and worship sessions.

Fans and gospel music enthusiasts can look forward to the song’s availability on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

As the countdown begins, the anticipation surrounding Ye Dan Wo is already building, with many eager to experience the next chapter of Gina Doe’s musical journey.

Gina’s commitment to her faith and calling shines through not only in her music but also in her life’s work, as she continues to inspire and empower others through worship.

Be sure to mark your calendars for November 1 and prepare to be moved by what is expected to be a powerful gospel anthem that will elevate your spiritual journey.

Speaking in an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM, he said all the information about his exit from the label are mere rumours.

According to him, if he leaves Lynx, he and the record label will release an official communication to that effect.

“People are so impatient on social media. If there was an official exit like everyone is talking about, I’ve not put anything out, Lynx has not put anything out and people are just trying to end our contact for us.

At the end of the day, if we are close to the level where we feel like ‘okay Kuami is no longer with Lynx, and he is done’, we will put it out for everyone to know,” he said.

He therefore intimated that he still works with the record label.

“What I am trying to say it that me and Lynx are still working. I just sent a song to Richie two days ago on a project he is working on, and he needs me to do one or two things for him, so we are so cool, and if I happen to leave there, we will put it out,” he further noted.

Kuami is currently out with Belinda.

Most times, just because a musician has been in the system for a long time, Ghanaians will write them off and put them ‘out of work’, and he thinks it is about time a stop is put to that.

Speaking in an interview with Graphic Showbiz from his USA base on Tuesday, October 15, Wutah Kobby, one-half of the defunct music duo Wutah, passionately spoke about how Ghanaians love to retire musicians early, forgetting the old musicians are full of experience that can be passed down and be beneficial to the new crop of artistes.

“Personally, I don’t think anybody has the right to make a creative stop working. Artistes should have the freedom to continue creating and performing as long as they want, regardless of age.

“The music profession has no age limit like let’s say sports, where an athlete, boxer or footballer retires due to old age. The story is different with us. We have no restrictions. Music is life; music is with us from birth and will be with us till death.

“Recently, Yvonne Chaka Chaka performed in Ghana and you could tell the audience enjoyed her performance. How long has she been doing music? But she still got what it takes to move an audience. Unfortunately, Ghanaians will write older artistes off as if they don’t have any good thing to offer again,” he lamented.

Wutah Kobby dropped a single, Dollar Dollar, last month and is gearing up to release a new EP. According to him, the yet-to-be-named EP will have five or six songs and it will feature collaborations with Ghanaian artistes.

“I am very hopeful the upcoming project will gain some good attention back home in Ghana. Great new music is coming, it’s a spiritual time for me and I want to entreat everyone to make the project worthwhile,” he said.

COP Fosu Agyeman, who began his service as a Police Constable, steadily rose through the ranks to attain the position of Commissioner of Police (COP).

During his tenure, he held various high-profile roles, including Deputy Regional Police Commander for the Northern Region, Regional Police Commander for the Western Region, and Director General of the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) at the Police Headquarters in Accra.

Beyond his policing duties, COP Fosu Agyeman nurtured a passion for music from his youth.

As a chorister, he sang with the Ghana Police Dance Band and performed with regional police bands in Ashanti, Western, and Northern Regions during official police events.

In addition, he has been known to perform solo pieces during church services.

In November 2023, COP Fosu Agyeman composed and released his first gospel song, marking the beginning of his professional music career.

His single, W’adom, is now available across all social media platforms under the name COP Fosu Agyeman Music.

The music career of COP Fosu Agyeman is managed by Mr. Kyei Baffour, the CEO of B Kay Art Design. Mr. Baffour also oversees the IT services related to the music, ensuring smooth operations and online presence for COP Fosu Agyeman’s work.

With his unique background and experience, COP Fosu Agyeman is set to make his mark in the gospel music scene while continuing to inspire through both his law enforcement legacy and his music.

According to him, many Ghanaian musicians no longer hold highlife in high esteem, despite it being the foundation of the country’s music.

In an interview with Mike 2 on Adom FM’s Entertainment Hall show, Adane Best lamented how highlife is often dismissed while others outside the country are embracing and evolving the genre.

“We condemn highlife, and now people have taken it and are using it well. We need to recognize that it’s ours. While we can’t play it exactly like in the past, we can improve on it. But the way we condemn and make highlife seem useless is what bothers me,” he stated.

Adane Best acknowledged that, younger musicians are still playing highlife but have changed the sound to suit modern tastes.

“Nowadays, the kids are playing highlife, but they’ve improved it. It’s only the name that has changed. Now, they call it Afropop,” he explained.

Echoing Adane Best’s sentiments, fellow musician George Jahraa, who was also on the show, said the shift in names is similar to the evolution of other genres like reggae.

“Reggae used to be called Ska, now we have dancehall and Ragga. It’s just a name change, but the pattern remains the same,” Jahraa said during the show.

In a recent interview with Adom TV’s Maame Boatemaa, Bisa Kdei explained that while some may try to degrade his music with this label, it doesn’t affect him.

He pointed out that funeral songs, in fact, tend to be the most popular in the country, played at major events and widely appreciated.

“People who have nothing better to do follow foolish trends. Someone started this agenda on Twitter, and it caught on,” he said.

“But isn’t it true that funeral songs are some of the most popular in Ghana? We talk too much sometimes. Instead of supporting those who are working hard, some people make social media a platform for unnecessary comments.”

Despite the chatter, Bisa Kdei remains unfazed by the criticism.

He emphasized that what bothers him is how this conversation has been amplified on social media, not the comments themselves.

“It doesn’t bother me when they call my music funeral songs. It’s how they try to make it a huge agenda that’s annoying. Other than that, I don’t care. Everyone is built to talk about someone, but how you handle it is what matters,” he added.

While many Africans regard Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa as the top countries in the continent’s music scene, George Jahraa has a different perspective.

After relocating to Mali during Ghana’s coup era, he realized the country’s influence in the music industry, especially across francophone Africa.

According to him, any song that gains traction in Mali quickly becomes a hit because it spreads across francophone countries within 24 hours.

He further explained that his current presence in Ghana is only due to the recent coup in Mali, otherwise, he would be performing in Mali, with little interest in the Ghanaian music scene.

“If not for the Mali coup, I would not be here. That is the centre of African music. If you hit in Mali today, within 24 hours it will be in all the French-speaking countries,” Jahraa stated.

He also advised musicians to expand their horizons beyond Ghana to truly grow their craft. “We are just 35 million… there are over 7 billion people in the world. You don’t sit down and let 35 million limit your potential,” he told host Mike 2.

Affectionately known as the “Princess of Africa,” Yvonne touched down at the Kotoka International Airport Thursday afternoon to a warm Ghanaian welcome as she prepares for her highly anticipated performance at the 2024 African Legends Night at the Grand Arena, October 5th.

The music icon was greeted by officials of Global Media Alliance, the event organizers and some selected Media and some fans, all eager to witness her electrifying stage presence once again.

Yvonne Chaka Chaka is one of the headline acts for this year’s African Legends Night, joining an esteemed lineup that includes Ghana’s own Okyeame Kwame, George Jahraa, and Adane Best.

Speaking to the media shortly after her arrival, Yvonne expressed her excitement to be back in Ghana, a country she considers her “home away from home.”

“I am thrilled to be back in Ghana for such a special event. African Legends Night is a beautiful celebration of our rich musical heritage, and I can’t wait to share the stage with other African legends. Ghana has always been kind to me, and I am ready to give my all to the audience on October 5th,” said Yvonne with a beaming smile.

Yvonne Chaka Chaka’s career has spanned over three decades, with hits such as “Umqombothi”, “I’m Burning Up”, and “Thank You Mr. DJ” cementing her place in the annals of African music history.

Her music has not only transcended borders but also generations, making her one of the most beloved and enduring voices in the African music industry.

Since its inception, the African Legends Night has become synonymous with excellence in music and entertainment, consistently delivering world-class performances that celebrate the best of African music.

The event has featured some of the continent’s most celebrated artists, including Hugh Masekela, Femi Kuti, Freddie Meiway, Kanda Bongoman, Amakye Dede, and Daddy Lumba among others.

“First thing we don’t have a royalty collection society that is accountable, so I will shut down MUSIGA, GHAMRO and COSGA and restructure a new body to take over the role that they are supposed to play because the royalty collection society for musicians and producers in Ghana isn’t doing what they are supposed to do.

“MUSIGA as well…we have seen different presidents come and go, but there is nothing we can speak about at the top of our voices… and say this body has done something tangible for musicians in our country,” he added.

To foster growth, D-Black pledged to launch capacity-building initiatives, equipping stakeholders with the knowledge and skills necessary to propel the music industry forward.

D-Black emphasized the importance of human development, promising to establish training programs that would enhance industry professionals’ capabilities and contribute to the sector’s prosperity.

“I will educate the music industry, especially business executives, on how the industry has changed over the years. A lot of artistes have managers who they trust, childhood friends, a lot of training has to go in that to make our industry viable,” he remarked.

Numerous artistes including Ohemaa Mercy, Joyce Blessing, Stonebwoy, Efya, Shatta Wale have voiced concerns over inadequate royalty payments from GHAMRO, criticizing the organization’s inefficiency.

The video teaser features Brother Sammy alongside stylishly dressed street youths, delivering a vibrant message of inclusion.

On Instagram, he urged his followers, “Don’t let anybody deceive you, come to church. God is for all, WAHALA.”

The response has been mixed; many viewers praise Brother Sammy for his fresh approach, while others criticize him for straying too far from traditional gospel values.

Nonetheless, his campaign to draw in those often overlooked by the church is resonating with a diverse audience.

Held at the Palm Convention Centre inside the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel on Saturday, the event was a night to remember, celebrating the best of Ghanaian music and the resilience of the industry.

The theme for this year’s event, ‘Connecting Through Music’, was beautifully embodied throughout the night. The performances, speeches, and awards all highlighted the unifying power of music, bringing together artistes, fans, and industry stakeholders in a celebration of shared passion and creativity.

The night was filled with electrifying performances, heartfelt speeches, and well-deserved accolades. Stonebwoy, one of Ghana’s most influential artistes, took home the prestigious Artiste of the Year award, while Lyrical Joe and Black Sherif also shone brightly with their wins for Best Rap Performance and Best Music Video of the Year, respectively.

3MusicTV, the organizers of the event, worked assiduously themselves not to fall below the bar set by themselves and interestly that was achieved. Their dedication to promoting Ghanaian music and providing a platform for artists to be recognized and celebrated is commendable.

The seamless execution of the event, coupled with the high production value, reflects the hard work and passion of the 3MusicTV team.

After a one-year hiatus, the 3Music Awards returned with a bang, showcasing not only the immense talent within the Ghanaian music scene but also the unwavering support from corporate Ghana.

The event’s success was significantly bolstered by the backing of prominent brands such as Bang & Olufsen, Budweiser, Dussè, Brutal Fruit, Infinix, Audiomack, Bel-Aqua, Yango, Blue Jeans, AT Network, SS Music, Alkains Ent and many others.

They expressed appreciation to the media for supporting them by amplifying the event on their platforms, adding that their involvement highlights the importance of collaboration between the entertainment industry and corporate entities in fostering growth and innovation.

According to the organisers, this overwhelming corporate support underscores the growing recognition of the 3Music Awards as a premier platform for celebrating musical excellence in Ghana.

As the curtains closed on the 2024 3Music Awards, it was clear that the event had not only made a triumphant return but also set a new standard for future editions. The night was a testament to the power of music, the strength of community, and the potential for greatness when passion meets support.

The event has once again proven that Ghanaian music is a force to be reckoned with, and with such strong backing, the future looks incredibly bright for the 3Music Awards and the artistes it celebrates.

See some photos below:

In a recent interview on Adom FM’s Entertainment Hall show, the ‘Ashikele’ hitmaker lamented the negative connotations associated with this tag.

He emphasized that it diminishes the contributions of legendary musicians like Amakye Dede, Nana Ampadu and other renowned artistes.

Using Jamaica as an example, Jahraa pointed out that icons such as Bob Marley are never referred to as “old musicians” in their home country, despite the age of their music.

He argued that the Ghanaian music industry should adopt a similar approach, where the works of legendary artistes are celebrated and not sidelined to specific playlists or weekends.

“I have been to Jamaica, and there is no way you’ll hear Bob Marley’s songs and have them tagged as old. How dare you say it’s an old song? How on earth will you call Amakye Dede and Ampadu old musicians? Why not play our songs regularly, instead of waiting for weekends to say it’s an ‘Adaadamu’ playlist?” Jahraa questioned.

Nonetheless, he passionately called for a shift in the perception of these veteran musicians, urging the industry to respect and honour their contributions, just like how Bob Marley is respected in Jamaica.

“When you build a house, does the foundation become old in the future? No, it’s what holds the house together. Don’t wait until we die to play our songs… it shouldn’t be only on weekends,” he added, calling for an end to the ‘Adaadamu’ tag.

The highlife legend urged Ghanaians to hold their music legends in higher esteem, just as other countries celebrate and protect their musical heritage.

Adane Best had earlier claimed that Kuami Eugene recorded songs in the past, which he believes were inspired by his original works.

However, speaking in an interview on Asempa Showbiz Review, the ‘Wo Bre Na Wenya’ hitmaker acknowledged Kuami Eugene’s success in the music industry but advised the Lynx Entertainment signee to continue learning and growing in his craft.

“I have said it before… Kuami Eugene is good, very, very good, and I commend him. But he should keep learning. That’s how it’s done. He doesn’t have to think he knows it all,” Adane Best said.

Reflecting on the past issues between them, Adane Best stated, “If you know music, you can tell that most of the melodies he used were from my songs. I can prove it, but that’s not important now. It’s an old issue, and I don’t want to dwell on it.”

Speaking to host Kweku Adu Kumi, the highlife legend emphasized that he has chosen to forgive Kuami Eugene, saying he doesn’t want to make a fuss over the matter.

“I have forgiven him. I have wronged others before, so when someone wrongs me, like Kuami Eugene, I let it go,” Adane Best said.

The news of his untimely death has sent shockwaves through the entertainment community.

Close friends and industry colleagues, including Yaa Pono, took to social media to confirm the tragic news and express their disbelief. Many are still reeling from the sudden loss, as the cause of death remains unknown.

Fans and fellow artistes, such as Stay Jay, have shared heartfelt tributes on social media, mourning the loss of a creative force who contributed significantly to Ghanaian music.

Just four days ago, Unda Beatz shared a cheerful photo on Instagram, celebrating his birthday with a beaming smile, a post that has now taken on a sombre tone as fans remember his vibrant spirit.

Unda Beatz made his mark in the industry by working with some of the biggest names in Ghanaian music, including Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, and Yaa Pono.

He was behind hit songs like Stonebwoy’s “Top Skanka” and “Sobolo,” with the latter winning the 2021 3Music Highlife Song of the Year award.

His exceptional talent earned him a nomination for Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2019 Telecel Ghana Music Awards.

Born in Mankessim, in Ghana’s Central Region, Unda Beatz attended Mando Senior High School.

His contributions to the music world will be remembered as a significant part of Ghana’s entertainment legacy.

In the Steer song, Broda Sammy highlights Dr. Bawumia’s achievements as Vice President during his two terms in office, urging Ghanaians to vote for him as the next president.

The song also features mentions of key NPP figures, including President Nana Akufo-Addo, Egyapa Mercer, Mark Okraku-Mantey, and Henry Quartey among others.

Speaking on UTV over the weekend, Broda Sammy revealed that he was approached by a major political party to compose and endorse their campaign ahead of the elections.

He expressed his gratitude to the NPP for giving him the opportunity, stating that he was thrilled to be part of their campaign effort.

With this endorsement, Broda Sammy joins a growing list of public figures such as Samini, lending their voices to political campaigns as the December 2024 elections draw closer.

Listen to the song below:

The catchy tune has taken over social media, with fans and music lovers sharing videos of themselves dancing to the upbeat song and performing skits on TikTok.

Departing from his signature dancehall style, Stonebwoy delivers a fresh sound with ‘Jejereje’, blending slangs and an African-themed beat.

The song’s infectious rhythm is already climbing the charts, and it’s clear that ‘Jejereje’ will make waves far beyond Ghana’s borders.

Produced by Oliver and directed by Banini, the song’s vibrant visuals perfectly complement its energetic vibe.

He was responding to comments on how differently the Nigerian music industry was thriving ahead of Ghana’s music space.

In an interview with Melvin Da Enigma on Luv FM, Camidoh explained that players in the local industry invested less in their craft.

He noted that Ghanaian music investors are less inclined to invest in artistes, their music videos, and marketing publications.

“But in Nigeria, their budget for shooting a music video is massive, if one takes a look at their budget, it can be able to shoot a Ghanaian film,” he said.

Camidoh believes investors in the Nigerian industry have realized the potential and returns from the sector, which is missing in the local industry.

Although the local space is seeing growth, he alludes that more could be done to ramp up activities by emulating their colleagues in Nigeria.

In the past weeks, Camidoh’s hit song, Sugarcane Remix has hit a hundred million views on YouTube – the highest obtained by any Ghanaian artiste, emphasizing on the benefits of injecting more resources into one’s craft.

He also shared that his love for music was inspired by Akon, recounting how he started his early music days selling Sobolo, Pure Water, and Asanaa on a table in Ola Girls SHS in the Volta region, where he sat to write his raps.

Extending gratitude to his fanbase and Ghanaians for their support by far, Camidoh also advised upcoming artistes and the populace to carve a niche for themselves to stay relevant.

“To find a spot, you need to find that unique thing that nobody else can do,” he said.

The event which will take place from October 3 to 6 is being organized by the Ghanaian Way Council and the City of Newark.

It will be graced by a number of personalities, including Ras J. Baraka, Mayor of the City of Newark.
