It’s comeback season for killer lyricist Obita, who in true Obita fashion, has released a thought provoking track that is set to get the country talking.  His latest offering after a 3 year musical hiatus is titled Fihla, featuring fellow talented lyricists Pitch Black Afro & Vertigo Man. Obita’s Fihla featuring Pitch Black Afro & Vertigo Man addresses a few issues about how we get ourselves engulfed in the world of lust. Fihla, a Zulu word which means hide, is a cry to all women both young and old not to show off their “goodies” as it always results in a bad experience. “My intention was to release a thought provoking track as I feel music with relevant subject matter is missing from today’s hip hop music. The content matter of Fihla is somewhat controversial, but I hope it will create a positive dialogue amongst my fellow musicians and fans, and be well received across the country” expresses Obita.

Award winning scratch DJ, Masta Jay has expressed disappointments in Ghana DJ awards for its level of credibility. In a conversation with DJ Masta Jay, he stated that though he has not done much in the previous years as a scratch DJ, he has consistently and actively been on radio DJing and if for nothing at all he at least expects a nomination in the Best Radio DJ of the year category, but unfortunately this didn’t happen.  “ In the period that they use to nominate the DJs I have been active in other part of DJing, like I said with the scratch I haven’t seen myself much into it last year and this year but in other categories, I have been on radio for one year now and if they want to nominate me without my concern they could place me but then why didn’t they nominate me for Best Radio DJ or any other slot? But then they pin point and just put people there just to fill up their seats .”

This is what I usually term as “To Whom It May Concern”. Who are those saying by the use of the word ‘f**king’ in Bisa K Dei’s ‘Brother Brother,’ it makes it profane and obscene? Alright! Let’s learn something here. In language, we have ‘loan words.’ Read what Wikipedia says about loan words: “A loanword (or loan word or loan-word) is a word adopted from a donor language and incorporated into a recipient language without translation. It is distinguished from a calque, or loan translation, where a meaning or idiom from another language is translated into existing words or roots of the host language. Examples of loanwords in English include café (from French café ‘coffee’), bazaar (from Persian bāzār ‘market’), and kindergarten (from German Kindergarten ‘children’s garden’).” You didn’t understand that? Ok lemme help you. A loan word is a word borrowed from a language into another. It may not necessarily have the same meaning as in the original language. The ‘f*...

Bull Dog has stated that so far as he concerned Ghanaian artistes are better than any foreign act. In a heated discussion on Ampluzz , Lawrence Asiamah Hanson popularly known as Bull Dog argued that there is no need to import foreign acts to perform in Ghana because the local acts are capable of entertaining their fans and even if there is a need to import foreign musicians for gigs, it should be minimized. Bull Dog’s argument was in line with the Ghanaian Rasta community who are protesting against the coming of Jamaican artiste Alkaline to perform on the Pulse concert. He further argued that Shatta Wale, Samini, Stonebwoy and all the Ghanaian musicians who are billed for the event are way better than the Jamaican acts on the show. He also stressed that some Ghanaian artiste are not well paid thus they cannot put out their best. The former Shatta Wale’s manager finally added that he will fight for every Ghanaian artiste whether or not he is managing them. By ...
