In most parts of Africa, Christianity has been portrayed as being meek, humble and ‘poor’ to inherit the Kingdom of God. Which intend reflects in their lifestyle especially their dressing and in their speech.

Over the years, gospel artists in the Ghanaian music scene get chastised heavily when they decide to take their dressing a notch higher or be more fashionable. However, Emmanuel Smith believes that Jesus became poor so he could be rich and does not see anything wrong in looking fashionable while serving God.

He shared on oneplay Africa that, there has been certain times that the message he wanted to share had been ignored b y the people because of how he is dressed. In as much as he knows that there are certain limits he can not cross with his fashion he also believes that in God’s own wisdom, if he didnt want him to look cool, he wouldn’t have given him the traits.

Emmanuel Smith shares his journey as a musician and how God is using him for great signs, wonders and to win souls for his Kingdom. Enjoy the interview with Tilly Akua Nipaa.

Budding Ghanaian Hip-hop music star, Malcolm Nuna was a guest on Oneplay Shots to talk more about his album “Hasta La Vista”, friendship with Yaw Tog, and meeting the legendaryReggie Rockstone.

Speaking about his new album “Hasta La Vista”, he said, “It did well. I have never really put anything out there before the album and wasn’t expecting it to be big as it is”. 

Moneyman wasn’t the lead on the album. My shawty was the most worked song on the album, as an artist in the studio, shooting the visuals. We shot some at Aburi. The power cut and we had to wait for the next day because there was no generator. 

I made Moneyman by chance. It was just a normal day at the studios and things weren’t going on well. I had to record about 2 songs anything that I was working on my album before my manager comes. I got a beat from SamSlay and had to do something before he came to the studio”. 

He also took the chance to talk about how he met KuamiEugene. “Myself, Yaw Tog, and Kweku Flick went to Reggie Rockstone’s office right after the VGMA. We chanced on KuamiEugene over there. We were all talking and he said that he likedmy stuff. I felt very honored. 

I was sitting beside Reggie Rockstone and they played my song. He then asked whose song was that and the bartender told him it was my song and he said he liked it. 

Kuami Eugene approached me and said that he wanted to make the song bigger. I was marveled and it felt so good. Big shootout to Kuami Eugene. He is a very good guy and may God richly bless him”.

One thing that distinguishes Sarkodie from his colleagues is his solid lasting brand. The Coachella hit maker  gave a hint about his product lifecycle during an interview with Tilly Akua Nipaa on the Bold Convo Show. 

“I am putting albums out because of the fans. There are ‘highs’ at every level. I am not really at that point. I see the fans still stuck in certain things that they want me to do. Vacations don’t work for me. I am a very hands-on type of person. 

I panic whenever I take off and I hate that. The fans want me to do stuff that I don’t find fun personally. At this point, I wouldn’thave sleepless nights about someone wanting to have a song with me. Organically, if someone wants to do a song, yes we can do it. 

The aggressiveness to do a song with someone isn’t there anymore. At this point, it’s more of what I can do to impact the industry. I need a new challenge”. 

Sarkodie also passed a statement about his intention to go back to school. “I still want to go to school. I want to study law. I wouldn’t have thought about that years back, but I think it’s necessary when you know that you are getting there. 

I care about the country and make sure that I am well equipped with information anytime that I am having a conversation. 

As much as I want to speak, not having the right information will make people feel like you don’t know what you are talking about”.

Michael Owusu Addo, popularly known in Ghana and across the globe as Sarkodie shared his views about the royalty system in Ghana on the Bold Convo Show. 

During the interview, he said that the royalty system of this country takes a toll on him when he thinks about it. “Africa in general, I think we have been built to see things just one way. We tend to skip on great opportunities.

When we talk about entertainment, the government always sees it as the artists only need money. But I can’t blame them because that’s the presentation we reveal to them. 

But I think what we forget is that the country is losing serious money, serious cash, more than even some of the things that they are exporting. 

Sometimes the people that come into our business and understand certain languages that could be used to speak to these people aren’t there. 

When you leave a typical creative person to go and speak to a business person, they speak based on their emotions. That perspective of I am suffering and all that. 

Businessmen don’t think about that but think about the numbers. We aren’t there yet. But if you look at our business, you could see the valuable businesses when the pandemic hit.

If anybody had invested in Ghana to be able to handle and control the streaming system, you could imagine the money you will be making. I think it’s all about presentation and how we carry ourselves as an industry”.

Over the years, Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has carved a niche for himself. The most decorated artist in Ghana was on the Bold Convo show to reveal some details about the publishing deal that he signed with Sony Music in the United Kingdom. 

Sharing his opinion about the publishing deal, he said, “I always have to understand something even if it makes sense.

I am the type of person that always wants to question whatever that’s happening. When I started, the problem was that I wasn’t signed and was able to make it. 

As soon as you taste that, it’s hard for you to sign. So now you go like, ‘Okay, what are you bringing on board, what’s going to change, are you coming to take over what I have built over the years and still talk to me like I don’t have the lyrics to have a conversation with you?’ That will be a problem.

When you are coming up, you need a platform. So at that point, if anybody had signed me,  I would have done it. You are taking me somewhere, so it’s worth it. 

But if I have built it to a certain point where you are coming to sit on what I have done, then I think we need to have a conversation that will benefit both of us. 

Sarkodie also disclosed what will compel him to go on a musical break. He said, “ I will take a break when I am sonically not inspired.

That can happen. I have times where I have a block and can’t be creative. That can be a break. But if I am actually in the mood of recording, I will put it out”.

The ever-green Daddy Lumba is a year old today. According to Wikipedia, his biological clock ticked and landed on 57.

Daddy Lumba has remained relevant since he entered music scenes. He has graced our ears with pleasing tunes and thoughtful lyrics and charming looks.

He is often considered the lone ranger, doing things his way and leaving imprints with little to countable collaborations with other musicians.

Perhaps he should consider remixing of his old classics— imagine listening to remixed versions with some of our budding young Ghanaian talents.

We mean, how cool would that be?

This is the list of songs we would present;

The most awarded artist in Ghana, Michael Owusu Addo, popularly known as Sarkodie, took some time off his busy schedule to talk about his new album “No Pressure” on the Bold Convo Show. 

During his submission, He spoke about what inspired the songs on his “No Pressure” album. “What inspired the songs on this album was from Black Love, my previous album which was dominated by Afrobeat records and Afrobeat artists. So that also pushed me to do the records on “No Pressure”. 

And I think most of the songs came when I was locked down in the States. I did the Cassper joints there, yeah, and a few of the songs.

“Married To The Game” and “Vibration” kind of set the tone for what I wanted for the album and everything just followed”. 

The Rap god also disclosed what went into the final output of the album’s artwork. “So when I spoke with the team, we came up with a lot of ideas. I have forgotten exactly where we did the photoshoot, but it was very expensive and exclusive.

Different rooms have different vibes. I did a lot of photoshoots, not just the trousers and the black shirt. I did one, I think it’s a t-shirt. It’s a very nice place where you can shot movies. 

So we booked the place for a day and went in there. There were a lot of options but I chose that place because it represented the comfort of the album.

“No Pressure” means you are comfortable. We needed a picture to depict what “No Pressure” stands for”.

In the first episode of the 4packed series of the Bold Convo on Oneplay Africa, Ghanaian iconic Rapper reveals some of the downsides of “being Sarkodie.”

Speaking about how he copes with fame, Sarkodie expressed that he has had to build a certain personality that fits the Sarkodie people perceive him to be away from his real self, Michael Owusu Addo.

“I am far from what fame comes along with because I am a very regular person. Personally, I am trying to control it. I wish I could be Michael without the fame and still be able to do the music and get the impact” he emphasized. 

 When asked by the host, Tilly Akua Nipaa, about his constant battles from switching between his alter ego and his true self, Sarkodie responded that:

“Once in a while, I let loose of me been Michael. I don’t try to be Sarkodie 24/7 and I think I have been in this way for a while that has become the new reality for me. Once in a while, you catch the “Michael” creeping into it. Just been regular can also bring you problems. Sometimes I sit in conversations that I wished I could contribute, but you are scared and someone might record what you are saying” he stressed. 

However, he did not hesitate in appreciating some of the goodies that comes with being a celebrity.
