WIZKID BAGS BET BEST INTERNATIONAL ACT (AFRICA)

Wizkid

Nigerian pop star Wizkid has added another feather to his cap.

Fresh from an amazing performance at the EME UK tour, which was rated world class, the best selling artist was announced winner of the Best International Act (Africa) at the BET awards in New York on Sunday July 1, 2012 beating heavy weights Camp Mulla (Kenya), Ice Prince (Nigeria), Lira (South Africa) and Mokobe (Mali) .

Wizzy and Sarkodie from Ghana came out tops and received a joint award prize in the same category.

"I feel blessed and I am thankful to God for making all of this happens. Thank God for my EME fam, it's a blessing to be part of an amazing team. Everyone I've worked with, everyone who has supported me in one way or the other, God bless you. To my fans who keep me going, thanks for the love. Thanks to my family for believing in me and letting me live my dreams. Special thanks to everyone at BET. I'm truly honored", Wizkid says.

The event was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Since the release of his debut album ‘Superstar’ (2011) Wizkid has had a fantastic run; winning a MOBO Award, signing up with Akon’s Konvict Music and touring Nigeria and the UK. The long anticipated EME US tour begins on American Independence day, Wednesday, July 4 and ends on Sunday September 2, 2012.

According to the label heads, the tour will cover nine states in North America including New York, Chicago, Texas, and Atlanta.

Banky W, Wizkid, Skales, Rotimi, XO and other EME stars will also touchdown in the Canadian cities of Toronto and Halifax.

Wizkid, Ice Prince, Camp Mulla & Sarkodie Get Nominated For Best International Act – Africa in the 2012 BET Awards

It’s that time of year again. And, as the buzz for the Billboard Music Awards slowly dwindles, the official nominations for the 2012 BET Awards are now in.

Stephen Hill, President of Music Programming and Specials, BET Networks, alongside DJ Khaled, Diggy Simmons, Mindless Behavior, A$AP Rocky, Astro and Melanie Fiona hosted a press conference yesterday May 22nd, 2012 where he made the announcements.

The 2012 BET Awards is slated to air live on July 1st, 2012 from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles at 8 p.m. And, this year’s host is no other than the highest grossing actor of all time, the beloved Samuel L. Jackson. With performances from Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj confirmed and the A-List of celebrities slated to attend, this year’s show is going to be nothing short of a breath-taking star-studded event.

As usual, Africa wasn’t left out of the mix, inherently nor was Nigeria, with the Best International Act – Africa category spawning two cream-of-the-crop Nigerian exports – EME/Konvict Muzik Recording artist, Wizkid and the Chocolate City Hip-Hop star, Ice Prince.

Other African acts in the category include Ghana’s fast-spitting lyrical assassin and Azonto Ambassador, Sarkodie; the inventors of 254Low, Kenya’s Hip-Hop Group, Camp Mulla; the South African Afro-Soul sensation soon to make an US cross-over, Lira; and the Francophone Rapper Extraordinaire, Mali’s Mokobe.

Even though, Nigeria has a good chance of winning this award with our high calibre exports – Wizkid and Ice Prince – nominated, we cannot underestimate the level of the other artists in the category. Will Naija bring it home? We can only wait in tense anticipation to find out, as well as wish all nominees the best of luck.

Other notable feats include Kanye West‘s 7 nominations, Beyonce‘s 6 and Jay-Z‘s five nominations; it seems the Roc Family have it in for BET this year. Also, the “Turn Up The Music” crooner, Chris Brown, who walked away with four awards last year out of his six nominations, is nominated for three against top industry heavy weights like Usher, Trey Songz, Miguel and Bruno Mars.

With so much at stake in each category, the 2012 BET Awards is no doubt going to be a thrilling, suspense-filled event and while we patiently, though anxiously, wait for July to come.

Sarkodie bags GHC 1Million as a Vodafone Icon!

Information reaching 18newspaper.com reveals that Ghana’s fastest rapper Sarkodie is now worth GHC1M and is signed to the red color, Vodafone as an icon. The source discloses that deals between the two parties, that is, Sarkodie’s team and Vodafone are far gone and very soon the officially signed RedIcon will be unveiled to the general public.

“Sarkodie is now a Vodafone icon, his deal is not like either Eazzy or Guru whose specific song is bought by the communication ltd but Sarkodie’s deal is an official signing just like the other communication company icons, the source noted.”

The source added:

‘after winning the vodafone artiste of the year, the rapper has gone from grass to grace, seeing more benefits as an icon than any other, first, he was made a judge for the icons – mixed editions competition and then later his songs were officially uploaded for fans to download on the new vodafonelive website, third, Vodafone powers him to collaborate with Dbanj plus many other benefits, what will you call these benefits, if he is not a Vodafone ambassador’.

Finally the source contended that because Sarkodie is a REDICON he could not be on the Ghana meet Naija event which is to take place later this year.

Is the birth of a new Icon for the red color as Ghana’s fastest rapper according to sources has inked a deal with Vodafone, don’t be surprised if a recharge card you buy has his picture on it.

Sarkodie gives his chain to Actress Ama K on live TV!

Does rapper Sarkodie have a soft spot for actress and TV producer, Ama K Abebrese? Last weekend, Sarkodie gave out his chain to the bubbly actress as a birthday gift, during the livetaping of the Diva’s Show on TV3. Both were guests on the show which saw the rapper handing out his chain to Ama K during a commercial break.

Now, we all know how much these chains mean to rappers: we read of the beef between Ja Rule and 50 Cent over a chain that got snatched in a nightclub, and of course heard hiphop kingpin, Jay Z rap that he got the hottest woman in the music industry (Beyonce) rocking his chains.

So could Sarkodie have some special feelings towards Ama K or was it just a friendly gesture?

Vodafone Ghana launches new music portal with Sarkodie & Dbanj (Photos)

Award winning Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie and Nigerian international music star, Dbanj joined Vodafone Ghana to launch a new music portal, www.vodafonelive.com.gh at well attended ceremony in Accra, last Friday.

The two star artists also performed their untitled new single, which they recorded together exclusively for the music portal, for the first time to an enthusiastic audience that wanted more of the song after Dbanj and Sarkodie stopped their performance abruptly to whet their appetites. The launch also saw performances from 4×4 and RnM, and was attended by several musicians, producers and industry people.

Vodafonelive.com.gh allows customers to download music tracks and videos straight onto their mobile phones, giving them easy and simple access to music by Ghanaian and international artistes. It also allows customers to download pictures and subscribe to entertainment updates about their favourite stars.

At the red carpet launch event, Uche Ofodile, Chief Marketing Officer of Vodafone explained Vodafone’s motivation for introducing Vodafonelive.com.gh at this time: “We’re taking a 360 approach to music. The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards and 020 Live celebrated and rewarded our artistes while Icons unearthed and nurtured new talents. We are now looking at access. We want to make the great music our Ghanaian and African artistes create easily accessible to their fans and continue to support the industry by giving the artistes a platform to market themselves. It is only right that they get paid for the music they make.”

After registering on their mobile number, Vodafone customers and music fans can access the portal to download tracks for an average cost of GHC 0.35 which will be deducted from their credit. The artistes who market their music and other entertainment materials on the portal will receive a percentage of the revenue generated from all materials downloaded. This offers an opportunity for musicians to make money from the sale of their music as well as getting paid for their live performances.

The Vodafonelive.com.gh portal will also give customers exclusive previews and access to new music by Sarkodie; his next album release will be available exclusively on the portal for a month before it goes on general release.

Sarkodie to release two albums this year, 1 Hip Hop – 1 Hi Life

After winning the Artiste of the Year at the 2012 Ghana Music Awards, Hiplife artist Sarkodie Obidiponbidi says he will be releasing two albums this year.

In an interview with Hitz FM, Sarkodie disclosed that one of the albums is ready for release and the other one is still in the works.

According to him, the first album is a hip-hop album titled Mind Game a collaboration with Jay-So which is basically for his international audience as well as hip-hop lovers in Ghana.

The second album, he said, will be a Hi-life album which will feature some of the best artistes he grew up listening to such as Kojo Antwi, Oheneba Kissi, Daddy Lumba, Daasebre Dwamena.

Normally when artistes win awards, they sometimes take their time to put up a good piece of work for their fans but Sarkodie says he never rests, all he does is to work to bring his fans the best of music.

He indicated that he already had plans before the awards, and now that it is over, it is time to continue from where he stopped. For his future plans, the You Go Kill Me hit-maker said he has tours, charity events and a couple of shows ahead of him. Sarkodie staged the second part of his Rapperholic concert in Kumasi before the awards and after the awards, he did a couple of shows in Ghana before performing in Malaysia.

He is back and says the next step for him is to tour some regions of Ghana to be followed by a Canada tour in June. Touching on his nomination for the upcoming BET awards, Sarkodie said he could not confirm because he heard it through the Social networks sites especially twitter. He said he thinks the information didn’t come from BET but rather from fans,

“So I don’t know where they did their research but for now I can’t really confirm anything.”

He was, however, quick to say that that does not mean he doesn’t believe in himself but thinks he has a lot of work to do and he is doing just that.

“Until I feel I am there, I don’t think there will be a time I will feel I am there so for now, I am trying to push harder but if there is any nomination anywhere, thank God but that’s not the reason why I am working, I am working because I want to be successful and I want to maintain my name for a while if not forever, trying to protect the brand Sarkodie”.

Sarkodie has won the Artiste of the Year twice and says being in the artiste of the year category was a blessing to him adding that he thinks his fans and management supported him a lot hence they make sure he wins awards every time he is nominated.

He said he was happy when he won the Artiste of the Year because people who love him and the work that he does were excited about his winning the award and that it made sense for him to be happy.

He said “I was not expecting to win but it came as a surprise and I had to go with the flow.”

Currently one of the biggest artistes in Ghana, he said his fans should watch out for him in their regions and his upcoming albums.

Vodafone Ghana partners with Sarkodie and D’banj to launch new online music portal

Vodafone Ghana is set to launch Ghana’s first ever online music portal that will allow subscribers on the network to enjoy the latest songs, news and information pertaining to the music scene in Ghana. This novel milestone will be launched with performances by musical extraordinaire Sarkodie and DBanj.

To mark this exciting innovation, the two stars will collaborate on a song which will be only available on the online portal. The new platform, specialised for the music industry, will enable ’020? users to download their favourite music on www.vodafonelive.com.gh.

Vodafone Ghana wants to reach music fans in a way that reflects the latest trends of how music is experienced in the web world. The website will also carry videos as well as news items. The telecom giants have promised to allow its millions of users to have a great music experience on mobile through www.vodafonelive.com.gh and its partners on high speed.

Sarkodie Feat. ASEM?….a Masterpiece!!!

There is a lucid difference in the geographical location of these two stars and that is the only thing that separates them.The media in a quest to sell their news have over the years assumed the role of promoting rivalry among the two finest rappers in Ghana. A premeditation of such a song inspired this piece.And if this comes to light, it will definitely be a collaboration that will revamp the Hiphop genre and cause a revolution in Ghana music.Although this might sound impossible,it is not too far fetched.

Look no further I am talking of the 2008 Ghana music awards discovery of the year Nana Wiafe Asante Mensah popularly Known as ASEM also acclaimed by many as ‘the prince of hiphop’ and his successor,that of the 2009 winner,Michael Owusu Addo also known as SARKODIE (Ghana’s fastest rapper).

These two guys have so much in common as rappers.From their delivery of punchlines on every song to one common fact that every song they release is an instant hit.Way back in 2008, ASEM’s ‘gimme blow’ and Sarkodie’s ‘gyimifo freestyle’ were the most ‘bluetoothed’ songs just because they redefined rapping in twi.

These two rappers who both had their basic education at Achimota developed their raping skills whiles in St. John’s Basic School (ASEM) and Achimota Basic School (SARKODIE).It is of no surprise that their lyrical discourse is somewhat similarly assertive. News has been all over all along that they trade ironical lyrics at each other.Beefs are good for music in any case but be reminded that even Jay-Z and Nas squashed it all and went to the studio later on.

We are all looking forward to a collaboration which will be the face of modern hiplife.This is actually a clarion call for a collaboration.Maybe it could be code-named ‘MONEY NO BE PROBLEM enti WO BE DA NTEM’.

Sarkodie,Efya,D Cryme and Smirnoff brings New York to Ghana in a party of a lifetime

The hundreds who thronged the foyer of the Accra International Conference Centre Friday night for the Smirnoff One Night in NYC party will attest to the fact that it was a party like no other- a unique party where patrons were treated to an unforgettable flight experience to the world’s famous New York City and a feast on top of its Empire State Building and Madison Square Garden at the same time.

This Smirnoff experience had on its menu, a wide array of Smirnoff’s Vodaka cocktails mixed with good music from Africa and Ghana’s number one DJ, DJ Black.

DJ Black was in his elements dishing out a mixed bag of exciting tunes from both the local and international scenes and yes, every inch of space at the venue was taken by countless number of legs.

Some of Ghana’s top brass showbiz personalities really had a go! Shirley Frimpong-Manso, Jocelyn Dumas, Bola Ray, Ekow Smith Asante, Sammy B, Pascaline Edwards, and a host of others could be seen dancing the night away. Well nobody expected the night’s drink ups and chops to last the distance, and compensating for that were performances from three of the country’s biggest acts.

Sarkodie, Artiste of the Year for 2012; 2012 Hiplife Song of the Year winner D-Cryme and 2012 Female Vocal Artiste of the Year, Efya brought the party home. It was D-Cryme who stepped up to the mic first and after performing songs including his hit single Kill Me Shy, Efya was next to thrill withNothing, Sexy Sassy Wahala, and her hot single, Best In Me.

Sarkodie’s entry drew the usual loud cheers from an elated audience and he set sail with his collaboration with Efya I’m In Love With You. Tagged Ghana’s fastest rapper, he also performed Onyame Nhyira and the almighty You Go Kill Me. The Smirnoff One Night in NYC ended during the wee hours of Saturday with patrons wearing bright smiles as they left the venue

Video : Another Sarkodie Interview In Oslo.

Video : DJ Black Storms Legon (Pentagon) With Sarkodie, Yaa Pono, Gasmilla & More

No doubt DJ Black is amazing behind the 1s & 2′s … He’s the most recognized DJ in Ghana and no one will challenge me on that. His Open House Party is one of the the most exciting outdoor events which can be compared to BET’s 106 & Park. It’s live and massive. Below is what happened at his most recent Open House Party as he stormed UG’s Pentagon with “killers” like Sarkodie, Yaa Pono, Gasmilla & a whole lot .. just check out the video below.

Brave Sarkodie Takes On Akufo Addo and President Mills in New Song

Few years ago, it was almost unthinkable for a musician to mention a president name without been arrested and put in jail, now Sarkodie has taken it to a whole in level, he called shot on both political heavy weights Akufo Addo and Atta Mills. Also despite its lyrical sickness, and a funny commentary on several issues surrounding us, I know you can’t ‘boogie’ to this new track from Sarkodie Feat Mohammed-Issues…

When it comes to lyrical madness, flow, delivery and attack on issues…Sarkodie is ahead of all and if you doubt it, just listen to the tune below.
