Despite his inherent ‘show-offness’, he is not just called the Grandpapaz for nothing—he started a whole music genre which has become the strongest in Ghana, called Hiplife…
From where some of us sit, Hiplife has become more than a musical genre. It is not far from a movement or a lifestyle as it has its own unique & intriguing identity.
Reggie Rockstone (real name Reginald Osei) was born in United Kingdom but it may have been his subsequent stay in United States of America which sparked the whole Hiplife movement in him.
Riding on the back of the then Hip Hop culture which he was over exposed to, Reggie succeeded in knitting a genre so close to Hip Hop in one sense but so far from it in terms of style, language and audience…
Like most movements, it started at isolated corners—unnoticed. But it is said that, by 1994, Reggie Rockstone had attained a huge following—and had succeeded in choking the millions of Ghanaians with what at the time was seen as having no future…
I hate to look at the many awards Reggie Rockstone has won because that is not the perfect indication of his achievements. For the best outlook at his accomplishment, just think HIPLIFE!
It is this same Reggie Rockstone who will be mounting the MEGA ‘Back in the Day’ Concert stage with ‘Naughty By Nature’ the Grammy Award-winning American Hip Hop trio who were pivotal in defining Hip Hop in the early 1990s and Ghana’s Best rapper-Obrafour on 6th December, 2013 at the Accra International Conference Centre…
With large repertoire of classic songs, check below for some of the songs Reggie Rockstone will be performing on the big stage—as he takes you to ‘Back in the Day’.
