Reggie Rockstone joined VIP [which was made up of Zeal, Promzy and Prodigal] in 2013 after the exit of Promzy. The group then metamorphosed into VVIP and has since produced a number of hit songs including ‘Skolom’, ‘Alhaji’, ‘Dogo Yaro’ and won awards both locally and internationally.
Abrantepa.com can authoritatively say that VVIP is a force to reckon with in Ghana’s music industry. Indeed, VVIP has been seen on almost all the big stages, shot classic videos and has led their fans to help clean up the capital city and other areas during the National Sanitation Day.
There have been comments that Reggie Rockstone is too old to join a relatively youthful, energetic music group but the rapper replied that “When it comes to music, age is not a factor. What matters is the ability to coordinate well and deliver.”
Meanwhile, Filmmaker, Socrate Safo has urged all to learn from Reggie Rockstone instead of making attempts to retire him. “We must put a stop to this. We retire our footballers, musicians instead of tapping from their experience. You’ll see some young and ignorant people mount unnecessary pressure on you and you subsequently bow out. Reggie, move on. Don’t be intimidated by these kids. I don’t see anything wrong with his craft. He still sounds good so what is the issue? He can dance, he’s handsome, he can dance so well so I don’t get why someone should raise this issue. In showbiz, there’s no retiring age,” he said on Peace FM.
