For King Lagazee, defending the Reggae & Dancehall genre over two decades and scounting, there’s no better time than now to institutionalize his own concert to celebrate and highlight the ‘twin-genre’.
He is very hopeful this maiden edition of the concert will bubble the scene and revitalize the Reggae & Dancehall scene as it used to be.
“Trust me, this is something I’ve always wanted to do and promote Reggae and Dancehall from home and also infuse some new energy into our talents so they can be proud of a concert that takes care of them in terms of what they represent in music. I am very hopeful this will yield meaningful results. We are very open to more sponsors to come on board to support us as well as partners from across different spheres of the music business to make it possible, not just for once but for subsequent editions”, King Lagazee intimated.
King Lagazee holds a very enviable CV in the Reggae & Dancehall terrain, both locally and internationally, as the most decorated award-winning Selector on Radio and Television for the Reggae/Dancehall Fraternity.
King Lagazee has been at the forefront of the Reggae, Dancehall & Sound System Culture for over two decades and he is a well-respected crooner in that field both locally and internationally.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
