Don’t mess with one of the finest young hiphop/hiplife Ghanaian music group based in NJ known as Blak Star Entertainment. They have racked an impressive response for their upcoming album. The truth is Scobo, Jordon and Shasha have the whole New Jersey locked down even though they don’t have an album out there.

Creating and releasing good music comes with its own set of responsibilities of which Scobo is fully aware. Scobo himself is a producer of beats so music fans will be getting down with their songs.

Blak Star Entertainment consist of Scobo, Jordon, Shasha (1st Lady) and Cartoon (an up and coming artiste). Hopefully by next year, they will be done with their album which comes with an exclusive DVD featuring Blakstar Entertainment footage and artiste documentaries.

Ghana Music.com was privileged to have Scobo and Jordon previewing tracks from the new album and taking us on a tour about Blak Star Entertainment.
