BRADEZ... HYPED OR UNDER-HYPED?


The Ghanaian music industry has seen a lot of music groups from the
 days of E.T Mensah and the ramblers till today. Hiplife like all the
 other genres, has had quiet a number of rap groups, some of them very
 talented and others just built on hype. Groups such as Akyeame,
 TH4Kwages, V.I.P, Buk Bak, 4x4 among others have stood strong in the
 ever changing tides of the Ghanaian music scene with quite a good
 number of them still standing.

 There is one rap group in Ghana now which seems to be underrated even
 with accolades such as the 2010 GMA for Most Popular Song of the Year
  and MOAMA west african song of the year 2010.
 Bradez which consists of Stone the flow king n Kunta Kinte, have been
 moving crowds since the days of their 1st single 'one gallon' and yet
 are still under-rated by most people in the industry. They have made
 their doubters love them, even those that recognized them more for
 being the brothers of Okyeame Kwame.

 After the release of their second album 'the breakthrough' (which did
 not feature Okyeame Kwame on any of the singles) spawned hits such as
 'Dondo' 'Run Things' and what remains their biggest song till date
 'Simple', Kunta Kinte got sick leaving his elder brother Stone to
 stand alone for the group. A task which the flow king handled well
 since he managed to keep the name of the group alive till now (Kunta
 recovered and has been performing with Stone). Many of the music
 lovers in Ghana tipped 'The Breakthrough' as the best album
 that year but the organisers of GMA had a different view.


Many fans in Ghana believe that they are the best rap group in country
 since they excel at any place you put them. Others also feel they rap
 better when they are featured on people's
 songs often out-shining the owners of the song and making it their
 own. Despite the numerous fanfare, they are still not getting the
 credit they deserve from the industry.

 With their upcoming album 'Conquer The World', Bradez seek take the
 respect they deserve and gain recognition not only in Africa but
 worldwide. With singles like 'Me Do Me Ghana' which was produced by
 Senyo Beatz (of CUE Records) and features D-Black making the waves, we
 hope this time around Ghana recognizes their efforts and they are
 rewarded.

THE PROFILE OF PEEWEE

Lloyd Osei Baffour better known as Peewee is a music producer and the
President of CUE Records. He has been knocking on the doors of the
music industry since 2001 and is best known to be a producer who can
tackle all genres of music. His breakthrough however, came in the form
of an Afro-Pop song he produced for Atumpan titled 'The Thing' which
made waves last year and got nominated at the GMA's.

integrated in rural in art industry he pursuit in K.U.S.T and Cue Records
saved his life.

Peewee started making beats on a casio keyboard whilst he was in pope
john's senior high and junior seminary. He proceeded to KNUST to
pursue a degree in Rural Arts and during his school days he wanted a
studio of his own where he could further develop his art, so he turned
his own room into a studio. After he
completed KNUST, he made the decision to pursue music as a career.

something positive so he consulted 3 friends and they formed 'Cue'

IS SARKODIE AFRAID TO ADRESS KOFI SUPREME’S CORRECTION


        It’s been the talk of town that Kofi Supreme, the Kumasi underground has taken upon himself to correct musicians. He started with Opanka on the simple cover by Bradez, and now BET award winner Sarkodie is at the receiving end of his lyrical rage. With his two new singles, Correction Pt. 2 and Eko He, he has addressed issues raised by Sarkodie in the ‘Okodie No’ and ‘Fair Warning’ (which many people believe is a diss song towards Lynx Entertainment).
The question is, if Sarkodie featured in two diss songs towards Lynx entertainment and Asem, why can’t he address Kofi Supreme?  Or is Kofi Supreme dissing Sarkodie to get public attention because of his big fan base in Ghana and Africa?
 The questions remain to be answered, and the fact that Opanka felt the need to reply Kofi Supreme in his guest verse on Kwaw Kese’s ‘Popping’ proves that he is getting attention with his lyrical corrections. We at Musicroom GH hopes that Kofi


Supreme will take his talent a step further and develop into a better artiste than all those he criticizes.
