Stonebwoy’s recent post on X about an article released by the Grammy Recording Academy has caught the attention of Mzbel.
In a newly released article, Grammy recognised some 10 Ghanaian musicians as the main characters when it comes to Ghanaian sounds.
“As a movement and culture, hiplife is also an identity, created to encourage people to be daring in their exploration of sound. Pioneering hiplife artists like Root Eye Samini and Shatta Wale (then known as Bandana) fused dancehall and highlife in the early 2000s to make music which could connect with local audiences.
Collaborations between artists and producers have been crucial in defining the sound, evolution, and amplification of hiplife. Just as hip-hop has developed a plethora of subgenres, hiplife has birthed other sounds such as azonto and asakaa.
