Ruff Guy Calls for Support for Budding Musicians

By -
Alhassan Abdul Gafaru, professionally known as Ruff Guy, a Ghanaian afropop, reggae and dancehall artist has called on Northern music industry players to support budding musicians. Ruff Guy who is one of the major acts in dancehall music in the north is the CEO of SAK music group.

Ruff Guy is known as one of the prominent and leading reggae and dancehall artists in Tamale. Ruff Guy was born in Tamale and began making music in his early school days. He studied at the Zogbeli Junior High School.

The motivation and encouragement from his colleagues helped him build his musical talents. Ruff Guy is a music lover, who is passionate about reggae. According to him, listening to reggae music caused him to join the music industry.

Ruff Guy has worked with many prominent artists including Wiz Child, Gaffachi, Ojah Drumz and many more. Artists like Ruff Guy with immeasurable talents, should be given the opportunity to prove their worth in the music industry.


In the Northern music industry where entertainment news disproportionately focuses on Maccasio and Fancy Gadam, so many other talented musicians are overlooked.

We need to build a music industry that is bigger than the 2 widely known musicians while encouraging and uplifting budding artists. This will play a key role in encouraging the upcoming artists to build upon their talents.

Ruff Guy has proven that he is the boss in the reggae and dancehall genres. When such talented musicians are discovered, there is the need for music industry stakeholders to give them the platform to explore their full potential. It is important to not underrate or look down upon such acts. Giving them the opportunity to prove their worth will reveal their talents and this will bring about growth in the Northern music industry.

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could
