Rockstone Headlines Ghana@50 Jam In NY

Boogie Down Nima Productions led by its industrious and influential Super Dupa Producer; Big Hash (Hashim) is hitting it big once again.

After successfully overseeing the production of live performances featuring VIP and emerging artistes from USA at the 2006 NY Picnic and the subsequent production of Papa She'ee's DVD Music Video launching ceremony of "Touch The Sky", he has stepped up the game on a whole new level with another "banger" in conjunction with the National Council of Ghanaian Associations (NCOGA) featuring for the first time ever in Big Apple, "The Don Dada", Godfather of Hiplife, Creator, Originator, Lyricist, Trendsetter, and Entertainer; Reggie " Makaa Maka", "Wei soso ye plan ben" Rockstone - Always imitated but never duplicated. The man with the master plan who gloried Hiplife once upon a time in an interview on BBC as;

"Hip-life", an amalgamation of street music and US hip-hop".

"It's very ring-a-ting-ting music... but they like that, and who am I to tell them to change?

"Everything that happened in the South Bronx with hip-hop is what's happening here, except we don't have any guns" - Really high on quantity, low on quality."

"Africans celebrate life and music. They don't want to hear songs that make them sad and play the war gangster."

Reggie is about to hit the Big Apple like "dynamite" in an effort to show some love and respect to his adoring fans; those who have supported his career over the years. He is celebrating the Golden Jubilee in New York in style with an incredible line up .
