<strong>SCRIPTS AND SOUND CELEBRATES HIP-HOP CULTURE WITH HIP-HOP WEDNESDAYS</strong>

With years of experience, Ghana’s leading youth creative agency Scripts & Sound organizers of several youth-oriented events and initiatives over the last few years start the year with its newest initiative “HipHop Wednesdays”.

As a creative agency that has constantly prided itself in providing nothing short of beautiful experiences within the creative space with its events and initiatives, Scripts and Sound is championing this initiative of creating a space for lovers of hip-hop and its culture with Hip-Hop Wednesdays. The event which is held every Wednesday at Area Bar brings together like-minded people who love and identify with the culture. The event is the first step in creating a community that will spearhead many initiatives that celebrate hip-hop and create opportunities for cultural affiliates.

Each week comes with a different theme that highlights various cultural moments and celebrates individuals who have played a huge role in the growth of hip-hop in Ghana and beyond. So for anyone that loves hip-hop and has an interest in hip-hop culture, Scripts & Sound has created the perfect space for you to experience the culture in Ghana. The Host for this week would be $pacely & DJ Kess

As an entertainment country, Ghana’s music scene is highly known for its rap culture. Since the inception of Hip-Life in the late ’90s Ghana has seen rap culture grow in sound, fashion, and lifestyle with rappers introducing various hip-hop subgenres over the years. From the days of Hiplife to the hip-hop period in the late 2000s’, the trap era, and currently the drill/asakaa period.

At every point, hip-hop and rap have been part of the nation’s music exports. Despite the continent and country being affiliated with Afrobeats, one can not deny the role hiplife and by extension, hip-hop has played in the music ecosystem we see right now. As such, there has been a need to create an environment and community where people with interests in rap, hip-hop, and its culture can interact and enjoy the beautiful culture.

Watch Sjava’s Vibrant #Isoka Music Video

Still on the run promoting his recently released album, Isibuko, Sjava drops new visuals in support of the project.

Isoka

Having quickly become a fan favorite, it was only right that Sjava gives Isoka a visual treatment. The 1020 Cartel general hits a vibrant pub with the Q Twins and Mzukulu for the upbeat love ballad where they perform the song in the company of beautiful ladies as well as some suitors looking to steal their attention.

Midway through the Luthando Sigubudu-directed visual, we’re introduced to a gentleman who is of the mind that he is God’s gift to women, though it is this mindset that would land him in a tight spot later on.

In a few days, Sjava’s long-awaited Isibuko Tour will take place, of which one venue has already been announced to be sold out. For those still looking to see Sjava perform live, be sure to grab your tickets for an unforgettable experience.

PDotO Releases #SonOfNomsa Mixtape

First off, I’d like to wish a happy birthday to one of the most prolific wordsmiths to come out of South Africa, PDotO.

PDotO

With a work ethic like no other, P has been consistently releasing back-to-back projects for the past 3 years; including his collaborative Lost Diamonds series with Blaklez, and the Cold Waters trilogy.

Today, the Cap City emcee celebrates another trip around the sun coming from the successful release of his latest mixtape and sixth solo project, Son of Nomsa. The 13-track project is named after his mother, whom P has affectionately mentioned in many of his works.

Real close to my heart. My best work yet but I’ll let the music tell it.

PDotO

Real name Siphelele Mnyande, the rapper plays lyrical Olympics from start to finish, flexing his undeniable poetic prowess with assistance from the likes of YoungstaCpt and Mali D.

I won’t delve much into Son of Nomsa, yet. Rather, I’ll share the music with you and let you decide how much higher on the GOAT list PDotO deserves to be. This is some amazing music, he has done it again.

Just last year, the album’s lead single, Lemons (Lemonade) with Nasty C, gained over a million YouTube views within its first month (currently sitting on over 4 million!). AKA couldn’t contain his excitement when he shared the news of the success of his hit song once it went gold.

#IWD2023: Weird MC, Setting The Standard For Women In The Nigerian HipHop Industry

Adesola Adesimbo Idowu, popularly known by the stage name, Weird MC, is a rapper and songwriter. Also known as ‘The Rappatainer’ and ‘Shola Idowu,’ Weird MC is popular for her English/Yoruba lyrics.

She is a native of Ogun State who was born on 9, July 1970, in the United Kingdom. She has five siblings- two sisters and three brothers. She attended Maryland Comprehensive Secondary school in Lagos State. There, she formed the hip-hop group ‘Weirdos’ with four female friends.

Weird MC had conservative parents who were not in support of her venturing into show business. Weirdos did not bag a record deal despite their popularity in school. The group disbanded not long after.

Weird MC studied Law at Ogun State University but she left after one year to pursue her career in music.

Before pursuing a musical career, the iconic rapper had an interest in becoming a basketball player. However, her aspirations were dashed because women were not fully supported by the Nigerian Sports Commission. When she couldn’t fulfil her dream in Nigeria, she returned to England with the hope of pursuing her basketball career in America.

Weird MC is remarkably known for infusing Afrobeat into her music. She is one of the most notable female rappers in Africa. She is popular for her hit songs ‘Ijoya’ and ‘Allen Avenue.’

Her musical career was influenced by iconic singers such as Queen Latifah, Fela Kuti, Jimi Hendrix, and Miriam Makeba.

Weird MC claimed the third position in Club 291 contest. She also participated in several rap battles. In the latter half of 1990 and throughout 1991, she toured the UK with DJ P Tee Money.

In 1992, she released the popular single ‘I Wanna Make You Jack.’ The single topped the number one spot on the Choice FM charts and received positive reviews. In 1996, the popular rapper released her first album ‘Simply Weird.’ She also released ‘After Da Storm’ in 2006.

Her second album featured the popular single ‘Ijoya’ which was produced by JJC and Don Jazzy. ‘Ijoya’ gained wide acclaim and was praised by music lovers.

In 2010, Weird MC also participated in Gulder Ultimate Search (the celebrity version) and became the last woman standing.

She has received several awards such as the Channel O Music Video Award for Best Special Effect and AMEN award for Best Hip Hop Album.

Weird MC was born on 9 July 1970. The veteran rapper, who is a born-again Christian, runs an online series called “Da Gate Keepers” where she express her gratitude to God.
