Sarkodie storms Kumasi with Rapperholic on September 27
One of Ghana’s decorated rappers, Sarkodie, known in private life as Michael Owusu Addo will storm the Ashanti Regional capital with Rapperholic.
The Kumasi edition, which will be the first of its kind in the region, is expected to bring music lovers together for an unforgettable moment.
The programme is expected to take place at the Baba Yara sports stadium on September 27.
This was made known when Sarkodie paid courtesy call on the Asantehene, Otumfour Osei Tutu II.
Addressing the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Sarkodie briefed the King on the event, which marks a significant milestone as the Rapperholic Concert moves to Kumasi for the first time.
He said, “12 years ago, I released an album called Rapperholic, and it has performed well. It was well received by many, so I institutionalised it as an annual celebration.”
“Three years after celebrating it in Kumasi, I am here to hold this year’s edition in Kumasi. I am here with my team to seek the blessings of His Majesty before announcing it,” he stated.
The Asantehene endorsed the programme and expressed interest in attending the concert, scheduled to take place at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on September 27.
In response, the Asantehene advised the artist to avoid unhealthy competition in the music industry and encouraged him to remain humble.
“Don’t engage yourself in something that will create problems for the artiste. Focused on ventures that will propel the artiste. When honour comes, you will have your share,” Otumfuo added.
Ghana’s singing Prophet, Joseph Atarah, has released a video for his new song dubbed ‘Increase’. The video was directed and shot by renowned director, Sky Web.
The motivational video exhibits captivating dance moves, set against the vibrant and beautiful city of Accra. Prophet Atarah co-wrote the song with Nana Boateng.
Touching on the message during an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, he said, ‘Increase’ is a motivational song telling people not to give up in their present situation. According to him, with determination and a relentless desire to succeed, God will make everything beautiful.
“As you trust in God’s plan, remember that ‘INCREASE’ is on the way. Just as seeds grow into harvest, your faith is growing into abundance. God’s got you, and His increase is surrounding you,” he added.
Prophet Atarah resigned from the military band in 2006 after an encounter with God to start his prophetic ministry and commenced his music journey about four years ago.

Fast-rising Ghanaian gospel musician, Rama Antwi, is set to take over the world as she releases her much-awaited single dubbed, ‘Wakae Me’. The song carries a thanksgiving message to show gratitude to God for life-changing miracles.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro, she said the song is a testimony of her journey in the music industry, from her basic school days to TV3 Mentor and her current situation. According to her, no matter what people are going through, the Lord will remember them, adding that all they need is to pray and not relent.
She said there are times in one’s life that challenges make people forget that God is in charge. Rama said, “The situation makes it difficult for you to even believe God could change the situation for you. This song is to let you know that whatever is happening, a day will come for you to smile.”
“When the time comes, your miracle will happen to your amazement; those who used to mock you will be the same people to praise you,” Rama Antwi added.
According to her, she has seen that testimony in her life, adding that it is why she was offering thanksgiving through the song.
Rama Antwi appealed to everyone, including various industry players, to support the song to reach the intended audience.
The video, which was directed and shot by Sky Web, and the song, produced by Shadrack Yawson, is available on all digital stores.
