Amazing! Not a single week passes without a new youthful group jumping onto the hiplife stage to exhibit what they have for music lovers in the country.
At the beginning of the year, two young men from Kumasi decided to speak against elderly men who use material things to woo young vulnerable girls into bed and leaving them with big bellies and shattered dreams.
The duo, Mighazi and Sabato, known collectively as Asuafoo, chose hiplife music as a medium to spread their message. Luckily for them, the rhythm and beats that accompanied their message were catchy enough to draw attention to them and their music.
Today, they are enjoying lots of airplay though they are yet to make it onto the local music charts with their debut album and lead song titled, ?Sugar Daddy?.
The video clip that came with the lead song, ?Sugar Daddy?, was as incisive as it was entertaining. With hilarious actor, Mac Jordon Amartey, and witty hiplife rapper, Nkasei, leading the acts in the video, what else could one expect?
The launching of the album in Kumasi on May 25 attracted one of the largest assemblies of hiplife artistes under one roof, the Prempeh Assembly Hall. The artistes on the bill included Asuafoo, Ofori Amponsah, Lord Kenya, Batman, K.K.Fosu, Kokovelli, Mzbel, Antwi Ne Antwi, Randy Nunoo, Osa Ray, K2, Omama Agyei, Nkasei, Koo the Boy and many others.
The album, produced by Lisarf Music Production, has eight songs all of which are danceable. Apart from one of the songs tilted, ?Asuafoo?, a self ?acappellation in which the artistes blow their own horn, the rest have some messages for listeners.
They have a heavy dose of relationships and love-related lyrics in the work. Infact, they present six songs on the issues ? ?Sugar Daddy?, ?Medo Ne Woaa?, ?Me Gyentia Dada?, ?Abayewaa? and ?Pempenaa?.
The rest of the songs on the album are ?D.A.C? and ?Koofie?. David Kwamena Bolton and awarding-winning Jeff Quaye, (JQ) are some of the technical brains behind the production of the work.
