VGMA 2017 Discovery of the Year nominee Ebony has revealed that given the choice between muusic and education, she would choose music all day long.
According to the dancehall star, one can make it in life irrespective of educational status, so for her the choice is quite clear.
The management of artiste Nii Funny have apologised on the star’s behalf after he described some of the best, up and coming talent in the country as ‘borla goods’.
In a statement issued after his utterances, Lyrics & More, which manages the ‘Yooko Ebreaki Mi’ hitmaker, say he was carried away in his statement and thus retracts them and unreservedly apologises.
The CEO of the Excellence in Broadcasting (EiB) Network, Bola Ray, paid a visit to the SOS Children’s Village in Tema over the weekend to make a donation towards running the essential children’s orphanage.
In the company of some industry colleagues including Ebony Reigns, Okyeame Kwame, Ruff n Smooth among others, the ace broadcaster presented Ghc 40,000 in cash, as well as items worth around Ghc 20,000 to the officials of the Village.
Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng, whom you might know as Ebony Reigns for some time now has classified herself as a new Afro Dance Hall Artiste but in actual sense is she?
We ask this because music expert Mark Okraku Mantey says even Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy are NOT dance hall artistes so we wonder if Ebony who shows her skin more than her music is one.
The highest paid comedian according to Forbes has been featured on the cover of Ebony Magazine ahead of his new movie release.
In the men’s issue, the actor cum musician talks about his keys to success, his pride in being a Black man.
He said:
Ghanaian dancehall artiste-EBONY (real name Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng) is not only disconcerting the dancehall landscape in Ghana with her flawless style built around her out-of-the-league command over patio—but she is also take ‘dangerous’ hits at her competitors; MzVee and AK Songstress.
Musically, it’s a jab but she seems to be saying the obvious when she throws it MzVee’s way, saying “Dem say dem be rich but they can’t link up, never seen a natural girl wey dey do make-up.” Oouch! That must hurt…
A large number of people find close unadulterated connections between Ghana and Jamaica—mostly when it comes to music and food.
The global popularity of dancehall music, rooted in Jamaica’s vibrant culture means this genre of music has wider acceptance in almost every ‘liberated’ country. But when it comes to Ghana, both dancehall and reggae occupy special places on our broad musical spectrum—with touching influences.
Even if not wholly pure, Ghanaians’ obsession with dancehall and the stable growth of this genre of music championed by contemporary acts like Samini, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy have opened the dancehall gates for female Ghanaian artistes such as Kaakie, MzVee and a few others to take center stage.
When it comes to dancehall, the strength of an artiste’s delivery vastly dwells on the beat and how well he/she is able to mimic the uniquely used language-patio.
Currently ‘disconcerting’ the dancehall landscape in Ghana is a young pulsating female artiste-Ebony, whose perfect command of the uniquely used dancehall language places her far ahead of her already in the game competitors like Kaakie and Mzvee.
