10 Best GH Hip-Hop Songs in 2012

Hop hop artist all out Ghana send time putting lyrics and beat together but not all their music was accepted by the music lovers in Ghana but their are some other song which was accepted in the Country here are the top ten ten hip hop songs in the year 2012 So Tuff (Cabum ft. Edem) – A banger by the man known as the second coming of Lord Kenya and the Volta Regime General, this peewezel produced song has a timbaland style beat that is guaranteed to get any party jumping plus they matched it with some pretty dope visuals.

Well Well (Rumor ft. Stone) – The kid named Rumor delivered a classic Hip-hop love song to a sweet someone (we hope it’s the girl in the video) with help from Oseikrom’s own Flowking Stone. When you want to tell that special lady that you dey love am well well, you finally have a dope song to play for her too.

Pizza & Burger (Jayso & Sarkodie) – one of the most anticipated songs from one of the most anticipated album’s this year finally dropped and didn’t disappoint. Truth is you may have expected something better but at the end of the day, if you put all expectations and hype aside, you can’t say this wasn’t a dope song.

Idea (Bra Kevin) – If you missed when this record dropped then it’s probably because BK had gone into hiding for so long that you probably didn’t expect to hear from him anytime soon. For those of us that were patient enough to get this when it dropped, we know we didn’t waste our time. Personally, it’s one of my favorite songs this year and I can only hope he drops some dope visuals for it soon.

Me Do Me Ghana (Bradez ft. D-Black) – The Kumasi Hiplife duo decided to switch it up a bit with help from the Hip-Hop poster boy D-Black and the immortal vocals of our first president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The results was this beauty of a record that trilled us and put some sense of patriotism into even the most hard-hearted of us, and I don’t really care what you say about this song because “me de3 me do me Ghana”.

Breathe (J town, Scientific, C Real, Stargo, EL) – We were surprised by the incredibly dope visuals to this record which was shot atop a building but what blew our mind the most was the number of dope lyricist on the track. Im sure Hip-hop heads all over the nation are still debating on who killed this song and my guess is, EL is getting the most votes.

Winning/Lie Ben (Ko-Jo Cue) – Twitter (and other social media) came to a standstill when this single dropped, and all timelines were flooded with the download link. Unlike other floods however, this song didn’t get around because of over-hype, it simply rode on the fact that it was a dope record. It would have done even better if it was accompanied by dope visuals but I guess it’s never too late for a good video.

Feed off Your Envy (Ian Jazzi ft. EL) – When this song opens with EL’s lyrics and smooth vocals, you don’t need to be told (sorry D. Cryme) that it was an instant classic. Jazzi’s laid back flow compliments the infectious hook as the two rappers take inspiration from their haters to create a banger. At this rate, you and I can only hope they get more haters.

Maka a Maka (M.anifest) – when the rapper known by most for waxing political with conscious Hip-hop artists like Brother Ali dropped the visuals to this banger, most of us knew he had a winner on his hands. Fast forward into the year and the video has been nominated for a Channel O Video Music Awards (somewhere in Madina I bet Selasie screamed)

Gimme Pinch (Fokn Bois) – If it would be fair then every single song on ‘Fokn wit ewe’ would have made it on this list. Since we can’t be that biased, we have decided to put this standout song from the gospel/rap/porn album on this list. We thank the lord someone had the sense to give these two pinch before they took their dreams too far.

Blaq Out Changes Name to Jay Quayson

Branding is very important in the music industry. A good crafted brand is what sells. In order to stay on top of the game, It is very important for an artiste to be identified with a unique name. A name that can easily be remembered by fans and any one else. Sensational singer, popularly known on stage as Blaq Out signed to UK based record label Issy Wizzy has made a quick change to his name. Though not expected, I see this as a good move that will go a long way to contribute to his success. Quick search on google will produce a result of several other Blaq Out which is not good thing. The Ghanaian Music industry has seen many artistes changing their names; from the then Batman to now Samini, Daddy Lumba to DL, Abortion of 4x4 to Coded and Yaa Pono to Proverbs.

It all started during my school days at Nassiriya Islamic Basic School, in Takoradi, Ghana. I was a member of school choir. And did a couple of performances. Fiifi Adinkra: Why the name the change of name from Blaq Out to Jay Quayson? Actually, Blaq Out is a great name. Had that name from my fans due to my complexion. I have a dark skin. Jay Quayson is in honour of my family. I love my dad and the whole family so much and I know I am a great musician and will be one of the greatest songwriters and singers in the near future. It would be very appropriate for people to call me or address me by my family name. For the world to see how great the Quaysons are. Fiifi Adinkra: Its obvious you feel great about the change of name? Oh yeah. No doubt I feel so grateful since it my real name. Fiifi Adinkra: Don’t you think the change of name will have a negative effect as well on your fame since your fan base keeps increase at a fast rate? Oh no! Not at all. Due to my versatility, creative and my unique voice fans are able to recognise my voice easily. Funny enough, I thought about the whole issue over with my fans before coming out publicly with it. Amazingly, about 90% of my fans supported and recommended Jay Quayson especially the ladies saying it’s a sexy name (with a big smile on his face) Fiifi Adinkra: Rumours has it that you debut album is still in the studio cooking when should fans expect it? Very soon, somewhere in the middle of this year. Jay Quayson hitting the airwaves like never before. Fiifi Adinkra: 2013 promises to be a good year for you, what’s the secret behind your success and where does the inspiration come from? First of all, I must give thanks and praise, glory and honour to the Most High God, there wouldn’t be Jay Quayson without him. The secret behind my success has been hardwork and determination. Not forgetting my management, Issy Wizzy for their support. Fiifi Adinkra: Did you feature any other artiste on the upcoming album? Yeah, I featured a whole bunch of great talents. Castro, Ruff n Smooth, Stonebwoy, E-Nice of Echo fame among others. Am still in the studio working on more tracks for the album, hoping to have other voices on it. Fiifi Adinkra: How many songs do you have to your credit now? As a songwriter, it actually difficult to do a count on the number of songs I have as at now. I have 3albums in the pipeline waiting to be released. I have over 48 singles are done and waiting to hit the airwaves. Fiifi Adinkra: That amazing, I believe you have a host of featuring too. Your hook on BB’s “Asorte” is what called for my next question. How many featurings so far? If my memory serves me right over 20 songs out there has the voice of Jay Quayson on it. The endless list includes: Ruff n Smooth – Injection Guru – Emaa Kuo & Woedimewu Macho Rapper - Obaaye Diojo – Joggle My Number Rozay_GH – Facebook Love Bra Qweku - Twa Wonaase Enuanom – Ngozi Fiifi Adinkra: As a songwriter I believe you’ve written songs for a lot of artiste. Can you kindly point out some of them? [laughs] Fiifi you dey disturb ooo’ Well, I wrote, Guru’smind blowing “Maa Guo”, Tiffany’s hit song “Begye Wo Last One”, did most of Gifty Osei’s award winning songs, E-nice’s “Don’t Go there”, Rozay_Gh “Facebook Love” among other hit songs which I wouldn’t like to disclose. Fiifi Adinkra: I must confess, I didn’t know you featured on Guru’s “Emaa Kuo” and I believe it not only me. [Laughs] Yeah Fii, many Ghanaian do not know this. My trademark is my unique voice and style of singing. Fans got to listen carefully to my songs and they will easily identify this uniqueness. Fiifi Adinkra: 2013 just started, what should fans, Ghanaian and our brothers in the diaspora expect from you and your management? Lots of surprises. Cos we’ll be taking GH Music to the next level. Fiifi Adinkra: What do you mean by “Taking GH Music to the next level”. we keep hearing this from artiste every day and yet the industry is at a standstill? My music is already making it big in Europe, US and Africa especially South Africa. One of my videos is now on Europe’s mainstream TV stations. It’s also on channel 232, Ben TV, Clear and receiving massive views on youtube. That what I mean by taking GH music to another level, being on the same platform as the big names in the world’s music industry. Fiifi Adinkra: Any last words for your fans?

First of all, a very big thank you to all my fans and everyone who has supported my career. Lest I forget, I don’t have fans, I have friends because we are one big family. I thank them for believing in me and also encouraging me to bring out the best in me. I say Happy New Year to all of them and I promise to be obedient, and humble to their constructive criticisms. Fiifi Adinkra: Its been great talking to you Anytime bro, I dey for you.
