CONCERT REVIEW: WORLASI AT THE NUSÉ CONCERT

The Nusé Concert is not just a window of what the future holds for Worlasi. It’s a befitting thank you to his core fans. Worlasi will look back on 2016 with satisfaction; cause even though the year managed to kill Fidel Castro (a man with 638 assassination attempts), it couldn’t kill Worlasi’s vim. It has been a year where his talent […]

THROW BACK: DADDY LUMBA – AHENFO KYINYE ft. PAT THOMAS

Before I proceed, let me define the words in the song title. Ahenfo means Kings or Chiefs. Kyinye means Umbrella. The combined definition of these two words is Kings’ Umbrella.
