Vinex Media Production has announced their zeal to host the Ghana Hiplife Music Awards in Italy come this year on the 28th July, 2007.

Focusing on 14 categories, Ghana Hiplife Music Awards is expected to be an annual event.

Another aspect that will make this award ceremony extraordinary is that a cash prize will be added to the trophies the winners will be carrying home.

Speaking to the brains behind Ghana Hiplife Music Awards, Kofi Boakye and Michael Duah shed more light by saying ?the reason why we chose to award hiplife artistes is that, looking at the genre, it?s growing and it seems that now, the hiplife sector dominates more not forgetting that the listeners is very high in Italy?.

Vinex Media Production in partnership with Nakus Music Production will have residents of Italy heading to the XXI Settembre Schio Vicenza hall on the 28th July, 2007.

Master of Ceremony who will be steering affairs for the nite will be Willy Ashley (Rainbow Radio) and Jacqueline (Sika Radio) not forgetting the DJs ? Madafacka and Abio.
