X.O SENAVOE SPOKE FOR COLLEAGUE RAPPERS ON GHOST

  Hearing a highly respected artist mention on a song, his respect for a colleague artiste is endearing. It is even remarkable when the artiste who is getting the props is not hugely popular. It’s like hearing Kendrick Lamar mention Killer Mike’s name as doing authentic hip hop yet his albums aren’t hitting platinum standards although hip hop fans say […]

DREAM TEAM: THE STORY OF ASEM AND MAGNOM BEATS

Ask me about any prominent personality from my alma mater, St. Peter’s Senior High School, outside the entertainment industry and I would be found wanting. Why speak about others when you have names like C-Real, Bebelino, Dampoo, 2Ras, 99Kay, Kwabena Kwabena, Obrafour just to mention a few.

ALBUM REVIEW: AKAN EP by AKAN

The self titled EP ‘AKAN’ is not filled with positive songs but a sense of cultural authenticity is evident.

SHINE BY C-REAL

2015 is shaping up as a busy year for C-Real. After dropping his joint album Project Hip Hop with EL, he is out with a new single SHINE. Shine is a boastful song (it’s hip hop by the way) with him ‘owning’ the rap game as long as the sun shines ‘Gh hip hop on my back/ this shit is […]
