If you believe in LUCK, then you can say the following Ghanaian musicians were purely lucky. The plausible alternative is, they must have stolen someone’s song–and this seems to be the case as many of them were accused of having stolen their single hit songs.

Of course, a musician cannot stay on top of the game forever–even Michael Jackson had to pave way for others to take the lead. But what we are dealing with here is totally different, these musicians just out of the blue secured a hit song and after that, they’ve never been able to make another hit.

Ghanaian Musicians Signing On Upcoming Artists Unto Their Record Labels is Like A Running Man Carrying Another Man At His Back

To the ears, it’s readily pleasing to hear an established Ghanaian artist announce that he or she wants to sign on an upcoming artist unto his or her record label – but in the deeper sense, it is the most risible remark or decision to make or take.

For whatever reason (s) – to show how ingenuous, business-minded, kind, discover talents, milk upcoming talents, etc. some household named or established Ghanaian artists came public to announce their move to sign on promising artists under their record labels or management outfits.

Unfortunately, 99% of those who did so have failed to impress themselves, the artists and the public at large. In short, they have goofed execrably! Award winning Hiplife musician, Okyeame Kwame, CEO of One Mic Entertainment, announced to the whole world that he has signed his blood brothers who go by the stage name Bradez unto his aforementioned record label.

For years, nothing positive was heard about Bradez as artists on One Mic Entertainment. Whilst speculations were rife and tongues were wagging, Okyeame Kwame came to tell the media that he is having management collaboration with Empire Entertainment. Per their memorandum of understanding, Empire was to take charge of Okyeame’s branding, marketing and events.

Today, whilst ‘The Rapdacta’ is making the headlines, his Bradez are still pushing all doors to become relevant once again but to no avail!

Celebrated Hiplife/Hiphop artist, Kwaw Kesse, CEO of Mad Time Entertainment, also came out to announce that he has signed his own brother by name Buda unto his Mad Time Entertainment Records.

Ghanaian Musicians Likely To Go On Strike…

The Musician Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has issued a stern warning to those with ears and willing to hear that soon, the Union would embark on a strike to register its displeasure against television and radio stations operating in the country.

The intended strike according to the Chairman of the Greater Accra regional branch of the Union, Tic Tac, is obliged to prevent television and radio stations from using their works if they (musicians) cannot be paid their worth when their intellectual property is used.

They said even though radio and television stations use their songs to make money on their platforms, what is given to the musicians is too bad and nothing to write home about.

For instance, these stations always adjust their promotion or advertising cards regularly yet the insufficient returns they give to musicians have always been the same and very little.

These stations enrich themselves with monies acquired as the result of using their songs on radio and on tv at the expense of the musicians who own the intellectual property of the songs.

Due to high cost of music production in Ghana, most musicians are living in abject poverty. Some are known to have died as paupers.
