IS BRA KEVIN BEATS PROMOTING FREEMASON?

Bra Kevin beats of Cryme records has continuous been fuming about a story we posted on him when he released “three headed beast” single.
The story released by us asked the simple question, “IS BRA KEVIN BEAT A BEAST” and also captured, ‘if the artiste is not a beast or freemason then he needs to come out with an explanation for his choice of titles and lyrics even though we are acknowledging talents and creativity.
It was recorded that Kevin beats who is no more with Skillions due to his choice of musical lyrics in his music has refused to let go of the freemason story and is still posting notes about it on his twitter page.
We recorded from his page saying that, “you think I’m freemason huh, check out my girl Chantal from Chicago, don’t freak out?
The link to the video he postered, we will post later for further talk on it but we will love readers to know that Kevin Beats has refused to explain his side of the story but wants to vindicate himSELF by showing as already established freemason artiste.
WATCH THREE HEADED BEAST BY KEVIN BEAST- 

The new question is, is Kevin beats promoting freemason or wants to clear his head?
All ears are on the ground waiting for his final response to this freemason story and why he chooses some kind of lyrics, mean while Kevin released a new joint called “Nike or Adidas” one that he entreats every lady to have before valentines’ day.

SARKODIE’S VIM SHUT BY ECG


Since beating the deal to record his new album Rappaholic, Ghana’s own version of Busta and twista is facing challenges during recording sessions.
Sarkodie who has channel out songs like, “Daabi”, one tym for your Mind, good bye among others is still recording songs to make up his full album for fans.
Sarkodie said: ‘Oh studio time paaa light out and there is no generator, Ooh GH, my vim lost self’ (words in pigen language, unofficial).
Currently not enjoying massive air play Sarkodie was optimistic at a possible return with hit songs, this he lamented as, ‘I have more hits which makes me feel some wicked body pains’.
As the year of action as declared by our president has just began we hope that Sarkodie, Ghana’s fastest rapper gets more air time and a possible nomination in the upcoming music awards, even though his chances look very narrow.

2011 Ghana Music Awards Starts In Earnest


Charter House, organisers of the prestigious Ghana Music Awards has told Myjoyonline.com Tuesday it has begun receiving nominations for the 2011 edition of the awards.

The GMA opened nominations last year and stated that the calendar year for the awards starts from December 29, 2009 to November 30, 2010.

The source said that it is the cut off point for any musician or producer to qualify for the 2011 awards. They should have released their album or musical works within that time frame to qualify to enter.

The source also said beginning this week, interested persons can also pick up nomination forms from Charter House.

GMA is yet to call for the first Committee (Ghana Music Awards Academy) meeting. This committee is yet to be composed as the awards is looking for “people who will not have personal interests” in the awards.

That committee will be made up of experienced people who have clear knowledge of the Ghanaian Music Industry. When the committee is constituted, members will meet to set the calendar of activities for this year's awards and celebrations.

The Ghana Music Awards is an annual event that seeks to acknowledge, celebrate and award excellence in the Ghanaian music industry for the particular calendar year of the awards.
