Exclusive: Stone (Bradez) "Akwada Bone" Prod by PeeWee

Flow King Stone of Bradez keeps displaying his versatility when it comes to music! This is a new one he calls "Akwada Bone" and this sounds more like reggae. I was not surprised he could do a music like this because I once heard him say in a track he did Ko-Jo Cue saying he started his music career with the "Shabba Rank" style.

The rapper seems to be able to do all kinds of genres and that I call exhibition of great talent. This music talks about a girl who he describes as "Bad Girl" but looks like the girl is rather bad in a good way. If you have that Akwada Bone in your life, you will totally relate to this one.

Ghana, get ready to jam to this one produced by Peewee! Download below and share...

SOAK THIS: Singz Ft Rorich "Yes/No" (Banky W Cover) @Singz_Gh

This is a one cover I really enjoyed listening to... Most of the covers I heard on this song sort of sounded more like the original song but Unlike other covers, Singz did something nice to this cover and converted it into something more Ghanaian and its the kind that will make you feel that Ghana impact in the whole thing!!

Singz dropped Timeless Love and also a cover on Kiss Your Hand originally done by R2Bees and Wande Coal of Nigeria. Singz got Rorich on this one and he did a mixture of GA and English topped with a little pidgen rap! Well, You might think Im just exaggerating so, just hit download and understand the kind of creativity these young talents got.

Mugeez of R2Bees teams up with one of the sweetest singers Ghana can always be proud of... Yeah he did this one with Efya and its called "Here We Go Again"... Nice collaboration and great music there!!

The music basically talks about normal relationship issues that most people might probably experienced at one time in their relationship.

Now, this is something many people can relate to!!! Love is deep and "Here We Go Again" explains part of the situation....

Exclusive: HIGHLIFE LEGEND FELIX OWUSU BREAKS SILENCE.

The ace highlife musician in an interview last Monday revealed he took a break to make a family and  is now back to music full time.  He said shooting videos of these old hits is to make the youth today know the main person behind these songs and also re-brand it for the new generation because some are already enjoying them but don’t really know who is behind these hits and unfortunately give credit to some other musicians in the country thinking they composed them.

The pioneer of highlife who has being in the industry for decades and also has ten albums to his credit said most of his colleagues highlife musicians today are not recording because they feel with their experience they still have to stick to their recordings of full albums before coming out but the trend has change to releasing of singles now and he see nothing wrong with it. “Now to record a full album before promoting it has become very expensive but with singles you can easily enjoy some gigs and then go back to the studio to record the rest of your songs. One thing that I think has become a problem in Ghana is the fact that all the radio stations are trying to do the same or have the same programme line up. When you go to other countries we have each station and it’s style or kind of songs they play. Here we don’t have a highlife station, no hiplife station, so at the end of the day one sits on the other depending on what the public yarns for at a particular time and it not helping the highlife industry” he stated.

According to him most DJ’s on radio now are youngsters who also want to be hip because that’s what the listeners love to hear and so will not be playing much of these old highlife music to get some of his listeners tuned off and this is not helping. He wish each radio station brands it’s self with a kind of music in the country. He also noted that highlife is not going to die so radio stations should rather brand themselves with it to help promote what’s from home. “Now the industry is kind of crazy, it just dance and show your butts all over so people or musicians now don’t write songs and that’s how come we don’t enjoy good quality music’s anymore” he said. Referring to an article that quotes Amakye Dede saying highlife will die because the youth now don’t have it as a choice of music, he said he will agree with him on the fact that the youth now are not into it but highlife itself is never going to die. It is the root of Ghana music.

He further noted that Ghanaians should be proactive in their marketing of songs and acts from the country because that’s what keeps the Nigerians flying now. Our songs should advice, it should have content, and videos should be African, simple. It’s not about shooting expensive videos, but rather the content of your songs.

He advised the youth in music today to be very careful with their target audience, know who exactly they are composing songs for and should stop attacking each other with songs. “It not healthy for our music industry, we should be very positive because at the end of the day some songs are going to live, others are going to die. I enjoy the songs people are doing today and I love Sarkodie but we should be positive. In a few years to come, there are songs we can’t play them anymore. In composing my songs I think about making something ever green so people can enjoy just as they are enjoying songs I did about 10, 15 years ago” he said.

Exclusive: TunTum Ft Bisa Kdei "Armageddon + Me And You" ( @TuntumMusic )

I guess lately we dont have good singers in our music industry, but I promise you there are some powerful singers out there you have not heard of yet! He is a producer/singer and goes by the name Tuntum. Now this is what I call SINGING and its the type that will sound great in ears of those who know what good music is all about. He featured sensational singer Bisa Kdei on these two powerful tunes titled "Armageddon" and "Me and You"

Sometimes I ask myself; where are these good singers when you always wanted something like this to listen. Its absolutely the kind of song that sends the message right into your heard and does make so much sense! I think Tuntum is a great singer; but combining Bisa Kdei makes me find it hard to use the right word to describe them. This is beyond "Awesomeness" ... Enough of the talk... Now enjoy some good music!!

Armageddon 

Me And You
