Award winning recording artistes and two of the biggest names in the music scenery in Ghana in recent times, Trigmatic and J Town are set to launch an all inclusive girls high school tour as part of their social responsibility as an artist.
The 2 rap stars who have been championing gender balance and women empowerment see this as a giant step towards their shared passion of seeing women getting their rightful place in society as tools for development.
The tour is set to take the 2 artists to schools in an attempt to encourage and empower them to develop themselves fully for societal usefulness and relevance. The tour is a collaborative effort between Trigmatic's Trig Entertainment and J Town's Hood Of Original Dreams.
As their own contribution to realization of the UN Millennium Development Goals, the 2 rappers are keen on empowering the next female generation and hence the choice of girls high schools. Trigmatic and J Town have over the past years nurtured their dominance in the industry and are fast becoming forces to reckon with.
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.
