US R&B superstar, Lloyd has treated Ghanaian fans to a special performance. The Atlanta R&B sensation performed a few of his hit songs including ‘You‘ , ‘South Side’, ‘Get it Shawty‘ and ‘Girls Around the World‘ to rousing cheers especially from female fans.

Excited by the reaction he got from the crowd, Lloyd expressed his appreciation for the love Ghanaians showed on the night and throughout his stay. He has since left for Nigeria, where he is expected to hold a similar show.

The Arrival of Kweku T?

Written by Ameyaw Debrah | November 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Move over Naeto C! There’s a not so new kid on the block. If you watched Big Brother Africa season 2 then you would remember that Ghana’s rep, Kweku Tutu a.k.a. Kweku T was an aspiring rapper. And if you live in Ghana then you would know that Kweku T has been a struggling musician for an even longer period. Although spotting some success on the ‘underground’ his musical career never quite took off.

Anyway all that is about to change as the man who popularized Ghana’s ‘charle’ jargon all over Africa readies his debut LP, ‘Higher Life‘. The first single off the album, ‘Move’, featuring D-Black, is already enjoying some heavy rotations in Ghana. Kweku T has also started promoting the song in South Africa and would soon move to Nigeria, Kenya and the rest of Africa. So is this the time for Kweku T? Well he has certainly arrived and when he blows in your face, remember you heard it from me first!!

Fat Joe and Omarion Rock Ghana

Written by Ameyaw Debrah | July 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment

The much anticipated “State of the Republic Concert” which was billed to bring Sean Kingston and Fat Joe to Ghana had its fair share of drama, the stuff Hollywood movies are made of. It almost became the “State of Confusion Concert” when organizers were plunged into a state of uncertainty and rescheduling. Sean Kingston pulled out at the last minute apparently because his mum advised him against taking the recommended yellow fever shot before going to Ghana. What a big mama’s boy! But I reckon that the chubby superstar is really afraid of needles because frankly he could have gone against his mum and then later sing ‘Dry Your Eyes’ for his mother. LOL!
