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.
