HOW FANS OF SARKODIE REACTED TO HIS #NEWGUY SONG

And so it happened one afternoon, with just a single tweet with photos of Sarkodie and Ace Hood sitting in a studio and another on set of a video shoot.

This drew some huge talk in the capital and some o[art of the country for which Sarkodie trended in twitter.

Down the line, and BOOM, rumours of Sark paying some huge amount to get the We Are The Best artist to collaborate to his new joint #NEWGUY. a lot of rumors and talk amidst speculation of all sorts speared all over social media, print media and the likes.

Well to cut it short, finally the tune has been released and it looks like the track is catching fire just a few hours of it's release.

I then decided to follow reaction from various platforms especially on social media on what people were talking and murmuring about in relation to the tune. So sit back and just read through the few I got so you can also make your judgement.

haha have you listened to #Newguy ? @Sarkodie promised to build @AceHood a statue in Ghana and ace said 'medaasi' http://t.co/7Km5WZxFCI

I am sure sure i can still get loads and load of opinions online about this new guy tune from Sarkodie but it will be great top know yours in the comments session.

If you still haven't heard of the song I am talking and blogging about, get the DEEZER app on your phone if you are on Tigo Network.

Letter To K.B. - My Tribute!!!

Dear Ghetto KB,

Death-

Our lives made pure

In another realm

GHETTO K B

I first heard your music on a radio station. Your song especially that particular one was unique and no wonder it was repeated couple of times before the show ended.

I then asked myself who was this artist that did this tune, the reason being that, this particular tune spoke a lot of sense and personally motivated me that very afternoon. I then went online to ask the host of that show and there a connection was made. I went ahead to download the tune and for the next few days, it was my joint to the envy of my siblings. It was on repeat all day.

I remember tweeting at you to salute you and your response was even more encouraging. In a short while, I had learnt the lyrics of this song. 

I later found out that you had done other good tunes that were enjoying airplay all over the airwaves but to me this particular tune was my gig to cherish

For a tune that will have lines like;

"The truest form of love is how you behave towards them not how you feel about them"

"Closed in a room, my imagination becomes the universe and the rest of the world is missing out".

"So never give up, never give in and never stop trying. Don't ever sell out and if you find yourself succumbing to any of the above for a brief moment, pick yourself up brush, yourself off, whisper a prayer and start where you left off but never ever give up".

It obviously gave me the conclusion that, its the best rap song I had heard all year even though the year is still young.

Maybe I should have written this letter to you earlier for you to know one of your songs made a strong impact on me at a point where my life was in a downfall and being faced with a lot of decisions to make. It's also very sad that with all the talent your maker grated you, you didn't use it alone but shared it by contributing to a lot of people's music careers.

As young as you lived, I am sure your life was well spent because you always wanted to do this and make a mark. To me, this mark is made.

As we all can't question life, I have the strongest of beliefs that you will be resting in perfect peace. Shuttered myself and a couple of friends I had a chat with about you were of the view you should have stayed alive a few more years but the creator knows best.

I wish I could have met you before you left but it was never meant to be. Maybe just maybe, we might meet somewhere if it should happen. Enough tears we can't shed but I will personally be consoled by your LETTER TO RAP song.

Bless the tides that be. Demirifa Due

REST IN PEACE - GHETTO K B

Sadly yours,

Thanks David Nikoi for the short piece on Death. Very much appreciate the gesture.

The African Vibe -My Playlist

Music they say is the food for the soul. Well for me it's a refreshing lifestyle which soothes the mind and whole mental framework.

I woke up this morning feeling all music loving, but this time the craving was a little different from the usual, Hip hop, Christian Rock, or even listening to my favorite sports shows.

Over the years I have always loved music from all over the world but not so much from my continent because it was in a way not very much accessible. Thanks to the internet super higher, things seems to have become a little easier now in terms of accessibility.

Over these few weeks I have had a few favorites from the continent no doubt I woke up this feeling all songy songy (If there's a word like that LOL).

Immediately my laptop was on, I started my picking one track to the other and guess what, all the songs that made up the playlist were from my continent of Africa. No doubt this is the playlist for the week.

 I therefore decided to share it and if you have even good tunes from any corner from the continent, share it so we also enjoy your music also.

As I mostly say, don't blame me if I love music more than you do. I live by and with it.

My Afro Playlist start now!! The list below is in no particular order or preference anyway. I can mix them up any time in as much as you find all the tunes in the list.

1. Mafikizolo featuring Uhuru - Khona

2. Lira - Feel Good

3. Zahara - Loliwe

4. Efya - Cigarette

5. Camp Mulla - Party Don't Stop

6. Cwesi Oteng - I Win

7. Tiwa Savage featuring Leo Wonder - Ife Wa Gbona

8. Becca featuring M.I. - No Away

9. Asa - Bibanke

10. Blitz The Ambassador - Dear Africa

11. Mensa - Fanti Love Song

12. Darey - Bani Ki Di

13. LiquiDeep - Come Aboard
14. Cleo Ice Queen featuring JK- Big Dreams
15. Cynthia Morgan - High High High ( Kuche Kuche)

Well some of us don't care if the Grammy's, BET's won't respect our music and acts to really give us the needed platform to excel, we the people of Africa will enjoy our good great music to the fullest and we'll reward ourselves by sticking what we have. When they realize it's so big here and they wanna have a price by sampling our hits, then the industry players will tell them their piece of mind some.

Well I don't know how your playlist for this week is or will be, so hey if you don't mind you can share yours and maybe I'll like a tune from yours to enjoy also.

Have the very best of this week as August really breaks out, I wish each and every one the best in all endeavours as well as aspirations.
