Image
Pundits and fans bemoaned about the state of hip-hop in 2016, but the climate may not have been as dismal as they think. The last 12 months were dominated by Fancy and Maccasio with allegations and blind loyalty among their fan base. Another promising thing about 2016 was the development of rising talent. Artists such as Nuru, Soorebia, Nandos, Dboy, Wumbie the Rapper, Gaffachi, Double Tee, Saani, and Fizz took the next step in their careers with lauded debut albums and hit singles, infusing some new blood into the mainstream arena, while radio stations and dj had their favorites Nuru, Soorebia, Nandos, Fizz, Dboy, Wumbie the Rapper, Gaffachi, Double Tee, and Saani, managed to make good on their online hype. 2017 is looking to be even more fruitful, as a number of acts spent last year putting in major work in the studio and on the road and are now positioned to become household names off themselves as well as maintain their place on it. These guys too, have consistently been m...

Justice Sports Editor has cast doubts in the Black Stars’ ability to win the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) for the fifth time in Ghana’s history. Abubakari Yussif says unlike others who are being nationalistic to say that Ghana’s senior national team can conquer Africa at the 2017 AFCON in Gabon, realistically, the best of the Black Stars will be a semi-final appearance. “If I am to speak as a Ghanaian, I would say the Black Stars can win but if I am to be realistic, the best for them will be the semi finals. It hurts to say that but that is the truth” he said . The former Guan United goalie noted that the current crop of players who recently called on the new Ghanaian President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to increase their bonuses are not committed and do not have the nation at heart, a situation he said could affect their performance at the tournament. “At this crucial moment when they should be thinking of how to win the trophy, the players are rather talking abou...
