Collection of lyrics of Ghanaian or international songs mostly organized by release dates .
Reggie Rockstone took to twitter this afternoon to reply a user who sub directed a question at him requesting to know why he kept reminding us that he is a new member of the legendary group, VVIP.
On the 22nd October 2016, Opanka launched his debut album entitled “AKWAABA” which consists of 18 Tracks with features from Okyeame Kwame, Ben Brako, Castro, 4×4, Edem, Kwaw Kese etc at Viena City, Tema.
Renowned Ghanaian record producer / artist & founder of Skillions , Jayso took time to give fellow producers especially the upcoming ones , a much needed short education on Publishing Percentages and Split Sheets.
.
In a series of tweets , Jayso said:
” Dear Record Producer, If you want to understand how Publishing Percentages work & the use of Split Sheets, read: http://www.raclawfirm.com/split-sheets/.
Hey, we can negotiate publishing splits but you cannot shove your terms down my throat. If I’m the sole producer, I am ENTITLED to 50%.
For any song I did not produce on my album #MakingTashaProud, I allocated 50% for myself as writer (lyrics) & 50% for the Producer (music).
Simplicity over Verbosity.
It is no secret that most music producers and beat makers in Ghana, especially the upcoming ones are completely oblivious about how to go about this. Most of these producers prioritize exposure and are often left devasted when that beat or production they did for free rakes in massive returns for the artiste while they are left with nothing to show for.
As a matter of fact , most of these producers are yet to get their publishing done (assuming they know what publishing is). Did you know music producers /beat makers are also considered as writers/composers? .
A split sheet ensures that you and each person you are co-writing with gets paid their fair percentage of publishing income; meaning, you will have your share whenever money is made from your production.
When asked if an artiste had tried to shove their terms down his throat and hence the tweet , Jayso responded by saying
“Nah. It’s about young producers getting the short end of the stick. I learned my lessons early.”

Superstar producer Slimbo announces debut single featuring top rappers; Says the game “needs some spark”
ASBP Music co-founder Slimbo, perhaps most known for creating the hits Realer No, Wave, Book of Hiplife, and the veteran Obrafour’s Boneayefour, has announced the release of his blistering debut single, which also features rappers Edem, Teephlow, and VGMA Artist of the Year E.L on November 20.
.
The song, Shine, is off one of three albums the talented producer is currently working on. A video for the song will be released on the same day.
This new direction for Slimbo comes as a surprise for many (pleasantly so, perhaps), as his acclaim has been as a result of his genius as producer. He reveals to ENEWSGH exclusively though, that his music journey started as performer:
“Many people might not know but I started off performing, even before I decided to go behind the scenes and produce only […] the timing wasn’t right for me to start performing. But, I realized the game needs some spark in it, and I’m the right person to instigate.”
Slimbo, born Louis Odame Boadu, describes having other artists collaborate on his production as having always been “a dream”, yet insists “now is the time” to assume front and centre. Slimbo hopes to, with this record, expose other aspects of him to Ghana and the wider world.
Slimbo is no stranger to working with high-profie artists, but he notes that Shine is a different experience as he was afforded more control;
” This time around, I was in charge of everything –arranging and switching it up whichever way I wanted to, unlike on their own records where I have a limit and in the end, have to do it their way. Sometimes (on their songs) I would like to add up or go extreme, but they could insist of how they first heard it or keeping it simple. But this time around, it was my way, my thing, and I had no limits”
“I enjoy things my way”, he says, “Ive been known to be a trendsetter; always going out of my way to create sounds that are not in the system. I was the first to produce trap music before it went commercial, for instance. It’s what I think people love me for”

Shine, highly melodic hip-hop founded on especially spirited drum-kicks, treats the circumstances surrounding a climb –significant struggle, ambition, jealousy and hate, and overall focus.

Donald John Trump has been elected to be the 45th president of the United States of America in a stunning victory. The republican beat competition from Hillary Clinton as several swing states swung in his favor. He is scheduled to take office on January 20, 2017
Read part of his Victory Speech below
I’ve just received a call from Secretary Clinton. She congratulated us. It’s about us. On our victory, and I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign.
I mean, she fought very hard. Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country.
I mean that very sincerely. Now it is time for America to bind the wounds of division, have to get together. To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. It is time.
I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be President for all Americans and this is so important to me.
For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.
As I’ve said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and great movement, made up of millions of hard-working men and women who love their country and want a better, brighter future for themselves and for their family.
It’s a movement comprised of Americans from all races, religions, backgrounds, and beliefs, who want and expect our government to serve the people, and serve the people it will.
Working together, we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American dream.

According to Shatta Wale , the Mansion costs a whooping $1 Million (not cedis oo my brothers and sisters…dollars !).
He said ” Just bought a $1 Million mansion. That’s what you call a man from God. It will rain for this blessing “.
Shatta Wale had today dropped the biggest hint of this via a song titled “Mi Rich” .
