Cue challenges Skillions??

Ghana music is seemingly drifting into the arms of a particular region. They seem to have asserted their dominance over Hiplife, HipHop, Azonto and virtually every song on our airwaves or clubs today are theirs. I speak of none but the Greater Accra region.


It seems from 5Five of Adabraka and Tinny to the rap prowess of Sarkodie, J-Town, Jayso, notable musicians like Castro, Kwaw Kese and several uncountable artistes have claimed to have originated from Tema or Accra. 


Most interestingly is the emergence of a group by name "Skillions" who hail from Adenta in Accra. This group of musicians, mostly rappers and singers headed by Jayso who has already carved a name for himself in GH Rap and HipHop. Flanked by Paapa, Rumour, Edi-Young, Lil Shaker, Adina and Sandra are fast making Adenta a music capital like the "Tema Boys" brand did, though not a music group.


Given my inability to accept that only Tema and Accra are the supposed households of GH music, I was very much pleased at the knowledge of unbelievable talent breaking tides in GH. 


Kumasi has had its fair share of criticisms on the presumed unavailability or inadequate measure of talent in the city and the region as a whole. Critics have on many occasions blamed artistes, Djs, and producers alike for this supposed calamity since Okyeame Kwame and the Bradez are the only artistes who carry Kumasi's flag.  


A group has risen to the occasion and have more or less blown music lovers away, I speak of the "Cue Music Group". This exceptional group have with time carved a niche for themselves in the Ashanti capital. 


Who better to question the dominance of the Skillions?? With their outrageous capabilities, I believe Kumasi can now rest knowing that she has potent representation apart from the Rap Doctor and the Bradez.


Making up the group are... 


KanKam - A wonderful Afro pop/soul artist known for "Desire" by Andy Dosty which features Trigmatic and the all popular song "No bi Alo" with Lousika. He also has a single called "Mekondo ade3 bi" which has a very cultural ring to it, using very typical Ghanaian strings and rythms. Its popularity is only an inch away from from National recognition if it hasn't already achieved it.

Blurr - A very talented rapper widely known for his exceptional skill and coming up with a mixtape, "The Blurricane" that virtually sends shivers down the spine of co-MC's.


Ko-jo - Another household name in rap who had a famous feature with Stone of the Bradez on a very popular freestyle on Kwaw Kese's "Popping"


Others include MzFu,K- Danso,Eazi Nakamura,Ella...


And the already famous LOUSIKA. Whose presence in GH music circles cannot be played down to say the least, with hit songs like "No bi Alo" with Kankam (above-mentioned) as well as "Boss Chick" which has become her title.


I dare say that this group of very young and talented artistes will define GH music in the coming weeks, months and years to come.


Before I make this lengthier than it already is, "GH, you wanted talent?? Here you go!!" 


I salute Oseikrom, but it is for us also to embrace our own talent and help it grow. Enough of tracks that have no Ghanaian interest, we help foreigners, how much more our own talent. Big Ups to NYDJ of Kapital Radio, Host of the Drive Time Show, Homestretch, as well as DJ Andydosty of Angel FM who have taken laudable steps to make music made in Oseikrom heard in GH.
