Sample & download on iTunes - click here!Hip hop music is everywhere these days. From India to Ghana, it is the most popular music. I am absolutely impressed with the hip-hop coming outta Africa; Nigeria and Ghana, in particular. Ghana's version is called "Hiplife
" - which is a fusion of hip-hop beats with elements of highlife
, Ghana's version of soul and R&B music popularized by Eric Agyemang
, Daddy Lumba
, A.B. Crentsil
, - to name a few. Perhaps the most unique aspect of hiplife is the lyrics - which is typically in both English and one of the tribal language, usually Twi
, spoken by a majority of Ghanaians. Bosheba Darrah's W.I.C.K.E.D. is a well done production.
