Where such promises had been fulfilled, it had been a pale of what was promised. The interest of the politician, under this political dispensation called democracy, is not one to […]

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. Daddy Lumba’s stature within the Ghanaian highlife music scene is enviable. He is one of the few musicians who have withered the storm and survived the many phases of the […]

VIDEO REVIEW: AKAN – FLOW NO

Akan’s ‘Flow No’ is his freestyle over Skepta’s Konnichiwa and honestly, it’s a great Akan freestyle. My only problem was personal and it was with Timing. Trust me, you wouldn’t want listening to  Akan Grime right when you wake from a 3 hour sleep. I’m outright going to blame Swaye for this because he sent the songs link. The video […]
