The Vim Views & Versions - Blogs of a MIghTy African

Now this is our international superstar, not just being a local champion, waving the Ghanaian flag in as many lands and territories as possible. Stonebwoy has been making songs with fellow African stars, all the way to Angola with C4 Pedro. BHIM Nation! I am yet to meet Livingstone Etse Satekla , he seems like a grounded guy. He's one of my favorite musicians to listen to. Starting from when he did that Ghetto love track with Obrafour through to his push for a Grammy.  I do like to sing Dirty Enemies featuring Baby Jet lol. But, but, friends forever. My Name - 2017 Folks have been asking me some questions about myself the last couple of days. Some of the answers to what I do, how I do it, why I am able to do it, is because of what drives me. Ambition . This song makes me think about ambition, and what and who is needed to one there. This is one of my favorite karaoke songs. Whether in an office in Dzorwulu, a pub in East Legon, a restaurant in Cape Coast, a pub in Ho or a ...

It's been a while since I did this. I figure I should do this before the next Ghana Music Awards :-) Ekow Fisho posted on Facebook asking "Your favorite song to listen to this year was ….." I posted a non-Ghanaian song (I would leave you to guess that). I attended the #MQF DMV End-Of-Year Soiree last weekend. I then told Fisho that my top Ghanaian song of choice for 2024 was " Sisi Fiaa ". This and some other songs have been living Rent Free in my head in 2024.  Before we get into this, see a list from 15 years ago when I also spent some good time in the DMV area. Here are the starting eleven songs, in no particular order or formation. #MusicWeDeyFeel indeed.  Defe Defe by Team Eternity Ghana ft Naana Asiedu I am blogging this on a Sunday. It started trending and you could not pass anywhere without hearing about this song. I said I would listen to more gospel this year and this jam defeated all the others. Lomo Lomo by Kidi feat Black Sherif Do you know th...

 I have been meaning to do this blog post but my last few weekends have either been out & about (you can guess for what reasons), restful (important right?) and chillaxing (tres imporant aussi). The weekend that just passed was the one that included the 25th Ghana Music Awards. " If I add Telecel, I would get money? Okay ". The Telecel Ghana Music Awards - 2024 edition - was at the Grand Arena at the International Conference Centre. I would have loved to go, but some weekends eh, when I get home on Friday, I do not leave my house till Monday morning. Yes, the Ghana Music Awards was sponsored by Vodafone for many years. More money right? Anyway, we have been talking about Ghanaian music these last few days, so there is no better time to finish this blog post. I have asked a few Kosmos Innovation Center colleagues about their all-time top Ghanaian songs. Not favorite, but top. Like Most Popular Song of the Year (MPSY) category, but since the inception of Ghanaian music...

Post the 2025 GhanaWeb Excellence Awards , I visited GhanaWeb ’s offices for an interview on their BizTech show. I answered questions about STEM in general, technology, entrepreneurship, youth development, innovation, and community building. What I didn't expect was to be put on the spot afterwards with a series of rapid-fire "this or that" questions. Waakye or Jollof ? NPP or NDC? Stonebwoy or Shatta Wale ? And some other questions that required quick decisions with no time to overthink. I've spent years speaking about technology, startups, volunteerism, leadership, and personal development, but sometimes the hardest questions are the simplest ones. After all, some choices can spark more debate than discussions about artificial intelligence or entrepreneurship! A lady came into the studio after Mawuli had interviewed me for GhanaWeb’s BizTech show . She said she wanted to record something for social media. She used her phone, very Gen Z like . This is the kind ...

Ghanaian rapper Asem is now a Journalist, and his latest single describes all the events and occurances in the Ghana Showbiz Industry during 2010. Okay, fylla, fylla o fylla!; A S E M with the fylla; This be the 2010 fylla; Ghana showbizness, 2010 I dey come summarize from beginning to the end He mentioned Obrafour (Rastaman) bouncing back on Okyeame Kwame's (Jerry Curls) back and how the song's hype didn't last long because the guy Obrafour featured, Guru, slacked. You'll remember Obrafour's Kasiebo track was a response to Okyeame Kwame and Obour's Killing the game . He also takes a shot at Kwaw Kese saying he's become his PRO, mentioning his name everywhere he goes. Kwaw Kese recently released his Killa bewu last show which dissed Asem, KOD and Jon Germain . He acknowledges that Tema is the home of great rap fever but stipulates that the money is still in Accra. He says even Tema boys stole the show at the Ghana Music Awards, it's he Asem whose ...

As long as I have had Liberian friends aside my family members who are half- Liberian , I have been hearing about #Lib4Lyfe . I saw this as being tied to music and entertainment, and not just patriotism. It took me travelling to Liberia for the first time in December 2025 for me to know that Liberians like to chill!!!!! Chilling and partying goes hand in hand with music. For a music aficionado like me, I was noticing the soundtrack of the town while in and around Monrovia . For a party soul like me, you can trust that I partied seriously in Liberia . We were balling baaaaway! Arrival Anthems: Thursday, December 11 I flew from Accra on a Kenya Airways flight which I spent watching a Kenyan movie - “ It’s A Free Country ” and paying attention to the songs played in it. It was a great movie to watch, travelling into a country that is very free, in more than 4 ways. Liberia gets its name from the word “liberty”, formed by indigenes and freed slaves from the West. My sister Stacey ,...
