● King Lagazee
Multiple award winning broadcaster with affinity to reggae and dancehall music, King Lagazee, known in private life as Isaac Ago TettehMonney, has said his move to Asaase Radio will positively impact sound system culture.
“The Reggae, Dancehall and the Sound System culture fraternity should expect nothing but the best in terms of what we do, since we have more hours and days to play.”
King Lagazee who starts work officially on September 1, 2022, on Asaase Radio said, the burning desire in him for the reggae and dancehall as well as the sound system culture necessitated his move from Hitz FM.
Speaking to The Spectator, the host of ‘YaadSettingz’, said there was a lot of potential in him, that’s not out yet for the people of Ghana, Africa and beyond to see.
“I feel Asaase Radio had that to make me reach that goal. As you can see I have more hours and days to play and also playing in Accra on Asaase 99.5 and live in three other regions in Ghana, Kumasi 98.5, Cape Coast 100.3 and Tamale 99.7 is huge.”
He said all those in the fraternity have to do was to keep following King Lagazee on all social media platforms and also Asaase Radio to know every bit of information about the show.
According to him, his journey into this industry is a whole book to write, adding that the struggle has not been an easy one but he had always believed that with God all things are possible.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
