Ghanaian female rapper, Scrach Fyah, has come forward to address the ongoing lyrical feud with fellow artist Eno Barony. While the artist has expressed an openness to reconciliation and harmony, he asserts that the lyrical beef between them remains intact.

The statement by Scratch Fyah who was formally called Baby Scrach aka Agona Queenmother comes as a shock to fans and the music industry alike, as the two artists have been embroiled in a battle of words that has captivated audiences for some time. The lyrical feud, characterized by fiery diss tracks and intense wordplay, has showcased the artists’ creativity and lyrical prowess.

However, in a recent interview on Kasahare level on Adom FM with Don Itchy, Scrach Fyah stated, “We are cool on a personal level, but when it comes to the music, our lyrical beef still stands. It’s all part of the hip-hop culture and artistry. This isn’t about personal animosity; it’s about pushing the boundaries of our craft.”

Scrach Fyah’s perspective on the situation introduces a nuanced layer to the ongoing saga. While the artists may have a friendly rapport offstage, their commitment to their artistic expressions seems unwavering. Fans are left wondering how this duality will impact their future collaborations and interactions.

Eno Barony has yet to respond to Scrach Fyah’s statement, leaving anticipation in the air as to how she will react to this revelation. Will she accept the status quo of their lyrical rivalry or choose to pivot towards a more harmonious approach? The music world eagerly awaits her response.

The music industry is no stranger to lyrical feuds that have shaped its history, with iconic rivalries often adding to the allure and intrigue of artists’ careers. Scrach Fyah and Eno Barony’s ongoing lyrical battle seems poised to become another chapter in this storied tradition.

Born Belinda Kyeiwaa Asomani, Scrach Fyah has unveiled her latest comeback track titled ‘Outside’, featuring Kojo Nitro marking what she describes as the dawn of a fresh chapter in her musical journey.

As the world watches and speculates on the next move of these two exceptional artists, one thing remains certain: the hip-hop community will continue to be enthralled by the lyrical sparks flying between Scrach Faya and Eno Barony.

Ghanaian reggae-dancehall artist, Roo Dube releases another ‘hot’ single titled ‘Mr. President the musician did not mince words in speaking truth to power to politicians in not just Ghana but all politicians on the African continent.

The ‘lockdown’ hitmaker in his new song speaks against nepotism, stealing, and looting which he laments has become the lifestyle of politicians on the continent.

The song tells Presidents of African countries to sit up and prioritise the welfare of their people and the development of their countries for the good of the continent.

“The whole idea about the new song came because of how politicians are treating ordinary citizens, We vote in Africa for our welfare but it seems the politicians are not doing this for us. They come with so many promises but once in power, everything changes. Now we have uprisings in the West African Region.

“I think it’s time we send this message across Africa. Leadership should see citizens as their family and do the right things.

The reggae-dancehall artist is of the view that the cash stashed in the home of former Minister of Sanitation, Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah which was stolen by her house is an indication that Africa is not poor but suffering because of poor leadership.

Through his new song, Roo Dube says he wants to inspire Africans to speak up to their leaders to stop corruption and bad governance.https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/roodube/mr-president

“It’s time we wake up as citizens and speak up. This is just a message to the politicians in Africa. This continent is blessed and if our leaders sit up it will develop,” the Ghanaian musician stressed.

Making a Gospel centered record infused with Afrobeats instrumentation with highlife vocals as a bubbling artist in West Africa is an out of the box approach. Emerging Hiplife and Afro Fusion artiste, SovT, has released his second single of the year titled “Adom Wura on 17th August 2023.

Growing up influenced by varying genres ranging from Reggae, Highlife, and Hiplife to latter years influencing him through Afrobeats, Fusion and Dancehall, the young singer is on a path of self-exploration through his music. SovT’s music reimagines the familiar sounds of his childhood with the new exciting genres and sounds that are taking over the listener-scape in West Africa.

The Zodivc produced song takes the tone and messaging of a gospel song complete with its somber delivery and piano keys, luring you into a meditative soundscape. However, the lyrics and the rhythm have the identity similar to the hustle music taking over this side of the Motherland in Afrobeats and ASAKAA.


Adom Wura invites listeners into a candid look into SovT’s struggle and yearnings. We are treated to a contemporary gospel, highlife and Afrobeats mashup complete with the youthful messaging about hustling and hoping for the best while acknowledging the blessings in life as well.

Ada Asafotufiami Festival, the welcome of brave soldiers and war heroes back home; firing of muskets

By
xerda
-

In the first week of August every year, the Chiefs and people of Ada celebrates their annual
Asafotufiami Festival. The 2023 edition started on Monday 31st July and climaxed on Wednesday 9th August with a massive beach party. The Asafotufiami festival is very significant to people from Ada, history has it that, the Ada’s were involved in a lot of wars between 1750 to 1876. They fought in the Katamanso War of 1826, The Battle of Nonobe in 1750 and many other significant wars including the Anlo invasion in 1770. After successfully weaving through these battles, the Chiefs and people of Ada gained hold of their present territory and has since lived there for centuries.

During the time of unrest and attacks from other neighboring tribes, after a successful war, the warriors are welcomed back home with some rituals and the most notable of them was the washing of feet and firing of their muskets. Those cultural practice gave birth to the Ada Asafotufiami Festival we’ve all come to know. As there were no wars in the early 1900s, the Chiefs and people of Ada successfully transitioned the jubilant welcoming of warriors into one of the biggest traditional festivals in Africa. The present Asafotufiami festival as Ghana I witnessed from Friday, 4th to Sunday, 6th August is a proud moment for me. I love to explore, learn from experience.

I witnessed the warriors dressed in traditional battle attire and stage a mock battle as they
initiate young men to warfare whom membership are acquired through matrilineal lineage.
Big Ada was flooded with these warriors clad with leaves and palm branches signifying
conquering heroes returning from the war fronts amid firing of musketry and war cries.
They also sang and danced until about 3:00PM on Friday when they began ‘Kpomkpo-Panya’.

‘Kpomkpo- Panya’ is the place which served as the departing point for warriors going to wars as well as the landing point for soldiers returning from wars. The warriors known in Dangbe as ‘Asafo’ fired their muskets and then washed their feet, hands and faces in the river. This symbolizes washing away of all evil and bad omens of the past year and looking forward to better years ahead.
The night was full of merrymaking. The streets was packed with party people who partied till the break of dawn. Then on Saturday, Paramount Chief of Ada, Nene Abram Kabu Akuaku III and all of Ada came together for the mega festival grand Durbar.
In attendance was the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The rich Ada culture was put up for display amidst cheers from all. Bright African prints, colorful handmade beads, beautiful headgears, energetic dance moves and
many others gave a spectacular view from our lens.

On Sunday August 6th, there was a non-denominational church service to thank the Supreme Being, God, for seeing them through to this stage. After the service, I journey back to Accra making some few stops to buy some delicious and iconic Ada watermelons and tomatoes. Tradition is beautiful, tradition is us, tradition is what makes us. Get involved and connect with the roots. Watch more of Ada Asafotufiami Festival, the firing of muskets by brave soldiers and war heroes.
