Ghana’s Rap Doctor, Okyeame Kwame, is currently in the studios working on his latest album ‘The Clinic’. He has already released two tracks, ‘Holla At You’ and ‘Sika’, all from the album and they are causing a huge sensation on the music scene.
‘Sika’ featured Kesse of ‘Project Fame’ and ‘TV3 Mentor’. ‘Sika’ is a song with a slow tempo yet danceable rhythm that talks about how the love of money has resulted in countless societal ills including broken homes, robbery, enmity and hatred.
Kesse put up a very impressive performance that nearly outmatched Okyeame Kwame’s. Reports say Okyeame Kwame will be launching ‘The Clinic’ this December and it will be his official Christmas song for Ghanaians.
2010 was an adventurous year for the music industry without a pinch of a salt. Not much needs to be said, Celebrity Publicist, radio and TV presenter, Quame Junior has analyzed the year under review and has thus come out with the following predictions for the 2011 GMAs.
The categories for nominations are yet to be outdoored but inferring from the activities and systematic experiences of past years the following songs and artiste could make the list.In this year’s awards, all musical works produced and or released from December 1, 2009 – November 30, 2010 were presented to the GMA Academy for consideration.
