In addition, six Afro Pop artistes will appear on screen live and perform. They will get voted for by SMS, the outcome of which will be announced next Saturday.

At the end of six weeks when the hunt is about grinding to its first successful end; Ghanaians will be presented with the Best Hiplife Discovery and the best in reggae, raga, highlife, R&B and Traditional music.

Meanwhile, the Death Squad hiplife Afro Pop group are getting poised to explode onto the music scene, charged with enough musical protons and neutrons to displace current artiste.

The three-man musical death squad will soon be profiled and Ghanaians will know all about their background and of course aspirations of the squad members.
