Only Danceable Songs Can Be Hits In Ghana – Hammer
If you want to make a hit song in this country, it needs to be something that Ghanaians can dance to, that is what beatmaker Hammer is saying.
Hammer in an interview on Hitz FM said that most Ghanaians do not appreciate other genre of music like westerners
and that has resulted in this. He continued that the love for danceable tunes by Ghanaians has made many musicians runaway from the country.
“With Ghana, the genres are very few, the taste in music in Ghana is very few, the majority like the club bangers as in the dance songs, a percentage love the Hip-hop, a percentage love the Reggae and a percentage love Classical music so obviously if you want to make a hit song in Ghana it has to be a club banger.
Rocky Dawuni had a great song, ‘In Ghana', it didn't do as well as Lumba's ‘Aben wo ha' but it was a good song so what I am saying is that if you want to make a super hit song in this country right now, it has to be a club genre, you can't do a classical song and expect it to blow everywhere, unless you don't look at hits song that way and you just want to do a great song, but you need to know it is relative, you can't make music a general thing the market counts. In America you can make a jazz hit, over here it is impossible.
Unfortunately where we are, people are quite focused on just dancing so someone who does alternative great music won't get the attention he needs, that's why Atongo and the rest all ended up in Europe because Europe has a wider audience who have different tastes in music but over here, Atongo's music can't supersede the Tonga hit so it depends on where you are, you can't dodge that but over here it just club.
You can't really define what makes a hit song because a bad song can become a hit through good promotion easily. You have to also factor in the promotion factor because we have seen in the past that good songs have done very poorly because of bad promotion and bad songs have skyrocketed because of good promotion so with creativity you can't really factor something in particular that makes a hit song….music can be good to a particular kind of people and it can be very bad to a different criteria of people.”

Abena Korkor Attacks Mp (Video)
The Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament, Sam George, has come under fire from socialite Abena Korkor for not fixing the roads in his district.
Korkor posted a video of her community's terribly maintained roads that was shot in Tema Community 25 after recent rains.
She claims that Uber drivers won't come to the neighborhood to give rides because of how terrible the roads are.
She added that, as a result, she must travel in a motor vehicle to do all of her errands. As Korkor hauled local MP Sam George, she did not hold back.
She also had some harsh words to say about Stephanie Karikari, the former Miss Ghana, and former President Mahama, among many others.

“What If The ‘Big Mouth Association” Too Comes Out Angry?” – Shatta Wale Asks Ghana Society Of The Physically Disabled
After making fun of Stonebwoy's disabilities, Ghanaian reggae dancehall musician Shatta Wale has adamantly refused to apologize to the Ghana Society of Physically Disabled (GSPD).
After Wale made fun of Stonebwoy at the just-ended Salafest, the GSPD urged the singer to recant his remarks and issue an apology.
However, Shatta Wale disregarded society's plea in a widely shared video response.
The “On God” hitmaker instead questioned society's reasoning for the demand and railed against it.
The outspoken performer said, “You can't create a problem for me; I am a problem myself.” “Everything we are doing is creating an association and paying dues; there is even an unemployed people's association.”

In an interview with Angel FM, well-known Kumawood actor Oboy Siki praised his colleague Kwaku Manu for his public persona despite his affluence.
He said that Manu is someone who worked hard to get his wealth in the entertainment sector and does not show it off in public as some do.
He said that Kwaku Manu, the actor, had constructed an opulent home in East Legon and added that there were other things he had done behind the scenes that were not made public.
“A person such as Kwaku Manu presents himself as impoverished, but in reality, he is not; he just chooses not to show it off. Even if he has a home in East Legon and all, he does not lead an opulent life. I don't give a damn about what he thinks; I'm just telling the truth,” he remarked.
Actor Kwaku Manu, who is highly recognized in the nation, currently hosts a show on which he conducts interviews with celebrities, which he shares on many social media networks.
