Yaa Pono: hands DOWN, one of Ghana’s best new and most charismatic rappers (from what is currently the one area generating the most heat in hiplife: Tema)?
Check.
Efya: the most naturally-gifted, equally-as-charismatic, sexy-assed singer singing her ass off in Ghana today?
Check.
Direction from King Luu, the director of ‘Coz Ov Moni‘ – one of Ghana’s best cinematic offerings of recent times?
Check.
(Said director making his crush on said singer a little too apparent.)
(Check.)
(Me sympathizing.)
(Check.)
Dope threads by the very dope Atsu?
Check.
Cameo appearance by the current holder of the crown, Sarkodie?
Check.
(Cameos so cameo’ed that I still can’t see where Wanlov & Macho Rapper are?)
(Check.)
Song produced by the (less-and-less) slept-on underground genius that is DJ Juls?
Check.
Artist from roster of Ghana’s most consciously African label, Pidgen Music?
Check.
(Pidgen music’s ‘love of the ladies’ on full display…)
(Check: besides the boys eyeing Efya down paa, Mr. Pono looked like he was ready to chop both the waakye and its seller. Sexual tension be what?)
A simple celebration of the creativity involved in simply living one’s morning hustle in Ghana today (complete with a selection of waakye or hausa kooko)?
Check.
Enjoy. God knows I did.
