Feature : new music

Okay this isn’t new music by an established artist but I think its worth listening to . I believe there are lots of talented artistes whose music is not played on mainstream media and therefore deserve to be “ outdoored “ to music lovers who are more about quality of music.

The title of song is “ she said i said “ by the Hamza Moshood aka TheHamzay ft Deep Poet and Lilia. The song is basically about a young lady who has being disappointed in all of her previous relationships and as a result has trust issues. Two young guys Hamzay ( first verse ) and Deep Poet ( second verse ) try their best at wooing her (Lilia)

Take a listen. Below is the link

Sarkodie's 'Ralph Lauren' Staying Power

‘Sarkodie is still the Man,’ reads the headline of a culart.blog review following the debut edition of his ‘This Is Tema’ concert in October 2019. The headline might be easy to dismiss but casual observers of the Ghanaian music industry will admit the past few years, especially 2019 was a difficult one for the ‘Lucky’ artiste. Going by his own standards, recent songs he’s released, which are largely considered rotation-heavy, don’t compare to the level of ‘Adonai,’ ‘you go kill me,’ ‘Illuminati’ and or ‘Original.’ In an industry where an artiste’s relevance is based on whether he or she is a hit-making factory, the two-time Ghana Music Awards ‘Artiste of the Year’ winner surprisingly hasn’t lost his star power or become a ‘victim’ of diminished relevance according to the unwritten rules of the industry he finds himself. Sarkodie still rubs shoulders with talents who are enjoying mainstream relevance like Kwesi Arthur, Kidi, Kuami Eugene, Fameye and Stonebwoy among others – w
