Meet Disastrous, Ghanaian-Made but American Influenced
US based Ghanaian rapper, Disastrous, hopes to put Ghanaian music on the map with his forthcoming sophomore album, poignantly titled ‘Ghanaian-Made, American Influenced’. Born Edem Nigel Amedume in Accra, Ghana, Disastrous discovered his talent as early as age 8. Even before Reggie Rockstone, the Godfather of hiplife, had made a name for himself in the industry, young Disastrous was making a name for himself performing future hits out of Reggie’s demo. It is therefore not surprising that Reggie Rockstone remains to date, one of Disastrous’ biggest influences.
Fat Joe and Omarion Rock Ghana
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! » Read more…
