Broni is a young Ghanaian artiste who has been able to find a unique balance with his music by fusing the Ghanaian and African sound with international appeal. His name Broni comes from the local Twi word “Oburoni” which means “Foreigner” literally meaning ‘those who come from the horizon. Broni is committed to taking the Ghanaian and African sound global and you can already tell from his music.

He is definitely one of the leading voices on the rise from my adopted country Ghana. I love his voice in particular , and i am very confident that in a few years Boni would be one of the most looked for acts on the continent.

It was like a carnival last night as Club Kalakutah played host to a Nigerian music Legend, in the person of Dr Sid . I literally saw everyone i know in the city last Night, it was fun and colorful . For those who may be wondering who Dr Sid is , Dr Sid is a Legendary Nigerian artiste that made his way into the Nigerian music industry in the late 90’s through the group Trybesmen . The group is credited in many quarters as being one of the founders of Hiphop music in Nigeria . He later went on to sign for Mo’ Hits and became label mates with the likes of Dbanj , Wande Cole , Ikechukwu, D’ Prince and Don Jazzy,  during which they made hit singles such as Champagne , Why me , Booty call , and close to you.

In 2012 Mo’ hits split up following a disagreement between Don Jazzy and Dbanj and this led to the formation of a new company Owned by Don Jazzy called Mavin Records . Dr Sid opted to go with Don Jazzy. He has since established himself as a force to reckon with under the new company and has scored hit singles such as Oyari, Surulere , Kabiyesi just to mention a few.  Shout out to Ashipa World, SOB Entertainment, and Club Kalakutah for hosting a Legend .

Minz always delivers . I see him becoming one of the flagship acts  in Africa in a few years . I am totally in love with the concept of this song . It is all about self love .

A lot of African ladies do not appreciate the kind of Skin they have . They see the uniqueness of their skin as a defect or weakness, especially  ladies with a darker complexion . It has become important for African men to tell their women how beautiful they are in order to promote a sense of confidence and pride in the African woman. Every woman is beautiful and unique and we all need to appreciate that . There is absolutely no need for all the time spent on Skin re modification and enhancements  ..

Albinos and ladies with vitiligo are also extremely beautiful and need to radiate self confidence .The video is Directed by Mahine Sef

Reggea music is freedom music . It is arguably the most rebellious genre of music of my generation. Definitely the most highly spiritual, reggae artistes are always talking of love , peace , reform , Haile Selassie , Jah , Babylon and ganja . Reggae originated in Kingston Jamaica and spread to other parts of the world reaching it’s peak in the late 70’s and early 80’s.

Although it is Still one of the most listened to genres in Africa , reggae music sort of lost it’s status in Africa and the world after the death of Bob Marley and Luck Dube . Hip-hop at the time became the most popular music for black people around the world, leaving reggae music in need of a revival or a messiah. Over the years the likes of Damien Marley have done a great Job in keeping reggae music relevant in the main stream.

I am very excited to find an act by the name Steven Malcom who seems to be carrying on tradition . His music is soulful and intelligent and his videos are bright and positive . He is a rapper for the most part but delivers an astounding reggae vibe on this one. Listen below

Ladies and gentlemen Okiemute just released the video to her massive hit single WOSA . Many great things are expected from the MTN project fame winner . It is a joy to watch Independent artiste go from one level of their careers to another . I believe this is Okiemute’s first official video and it signifies a massive leap and could be a major turning point in her career.

The video is beautiful and does not fall short of expectations . The dancers are energetic and go with the groove of the music  I especially like the creativity in the outfits and set design . Okiemute’s dresses are colorful and neatly put together . Kudos to her stylist

Let me tell y’all a secret i have never told anyone . Guys , i am a sucker for Ghana rap music . Am i the only one that feels like the Ghanaian local languages are very convenient for rappers to make hit songs . These days the Ghana local rap and Nigerian local rap seem to appeal more to rap fans than English rap especially in the the African societies but i wonder what language rap fans regard as the best local African language to make music is . Examples are Phyno raps in Igbo Language , Olamide raps in Yoruba , Sarkodie raps in a Ghanaian language Akan, and Khaligraph Jones flows in Swahili e.t.c What language do you consider as the dopest ? This would be a very interesting topic to discuss but that would be for another day .

Sugar Mole is the stage name of Nana Agyemang Frimpong, a Ghanaian recording hip-hop/rap artiste. The MOLE in the name stands for “My Originality Lies Exceptional” According to Sugar Mole, music has really inspired him a lot and has shown him brighter ways of doing things in every aspect thus practicing whatever he preaches to the world and its entire generations through his music

His new Video is directed by Akwaada Nyame, I would describe it as the African version of 6lacks song featuring J cole – Pretty little child . it is a love song to be played for the most important female in your life . The singing by Broni is beautiful and the video presentation is nothing short of beautiful

I told you all to focus your energy on Indianapolis right ? Indianapolis got some fire artistes . Anyways , have you ever heard of an R&B CYPHER ? Honestly , I haven’t . I have watched so many Rap cyphers in my life time but never have i seen an R&B cypher .

Promo goddess brought the best of the best R&B acts from Indianapolis together to make  an amazing freestyle music session titled “ Set The tone R&B cypher ” . The acts are Yadin Kol, Keiana Whatley, J Murph, Allison Victoria, Terrance Anderson, & Telle , many of whom have already been featured on this blog and talked about as acts who are expected to grow bigger and blossom in 2019 because of the amazing music they make.

This is not just beautiful music but it is also very creative and authentic. This may be an idea the B.E.T may want to consider this year. If they do , you know where the idea came from right? I would love Promo goddess to keep building on this idea, invite more R&B artiste from Indianapolis and environs to make more Set The Tone R&B Cypher episodes . I was really mesmerized watching this , every one killed it.

I am excited when i get an email and i open it to find a Hit song. wow ! , it’s like a bank deposit alert to me because it does not happen all the time. I find songs that are under par most of the times . Woke up 2 a.m and decided to check my email and i found one from an artists which simply read “I am an afro-beats artist, I’ll let my music speak for itself. I’d love to be featured on your blog ” . Although he also left his songs link , this did not help much as i had to dig deeper to actually find who Kobi Jonz is and where he is based, but yes! the music really spoke for itself .

I am so impressed with this song O gbona that i have to abandon my sleep to post this . He is in the mode of a fledging Maleek Berry and this video “ O gbona ” is fire . I particularly love the model she is absolutely gorgeous , i can tell from the background that he is not based in Nigeria. I will be looking out for his new releases and bring you more detailed information about the artiste.

This song, Fatherless by Soule is way too deep . It explains how complicated life is for female kids to grow without a father figure . Many people (feminists) believe the role of a father in a child life is over emphasized . My opinion is that a child needs to experience both fatherly and motherly care to fully blossom mentally.  The song explains it all so there is no need to go into details , just listen

A message to all fathers that are on the verge of walking out of their child’s life. Please stay ! – Do it for your daughter , cos she fatherless n***er .

Soule your song  “ Fatherless ” is amazing, I always believed in education through music . Your story telling is top-notch  and Fatherless deserves to be on the play list.
