Ghanaian Movie: The Perfect Picture

I just watched the famous Ghanaian Movie "The Perfect Picture".

I am very much impressed by the overall quality of the movie. The choice of songs is very good, the actors, including some of the most popular in Ghana at this moment (Jackie Appiah, Chris Attoh, KSM) are excellent.

The scene I enjoyed most is the one where the Doctor (KSM), advice the young couple to spice up their sexual life by doing unusual things like playing roles before making love. At the beginning of that scene, Chris Attoh has a look on his face that I could not understand.

To Shirley Frimpong-Manso and your team, you did a good job. Thumbs up. :)

"I AM NOT MARRIED, I’M STILL SINGLE "– EAZZY

News breaking from unknown sources and speculations on marriages amongst celebrities is no new phenomena but when it is accompanied by pictures, it becomes somewhat controversial, especially when some very trusted individuals confirm such stories.

 Unfortunately the recent outbreak of a story which indicated a secret marriage between Producer of the year, Richie and first and only lady of Lynx Entertainment Eazzy has been finally cleared out by the management of the record label as a total lie and a misrepresentation.

Speaking to C.E.O of Lynx Entertainment, Richie Mensah who was clearing the air, “The pictures are from a video we shot of Eazzy’s “One Gal” song which features me. We have remained silent this long because we didn’t want to disclose the concept of the video until it was almost ready but as it stands the video is nearly done and would be released soon”.

 In regards to these recent developments, Lynx Entertainment would want the general public to know that there was no such wedding and that the pictures were from a video shoot, they would also want to state that anybody who validated the story spoke for himself and is hence responsible for his words.

In a related development, the video promises to be a ground breaking one. The song, an exceptional masterpiece is my favorite on the Twinkle album. The song is receiving massive airplay and deserves its place. Eazzy spoke to Quame Junior and had this one thing to say “I have never been married, and I’m still as single as ever”.

REGGIE ROCKSTONE & GYEDU BLAY AMBOLLEY LEAD MUSICIANS TO SAVE A HEART AT MUSIC FESTIVAL

It was fun for funds at the Accra International Conference Center on Saturday when some of the finest music stars in Ghana including Tic Tac, Reggie Rockstone, Tinny, R2Bees, Praye and Gyedu Blay Ambolley poured their hearts out musically to support The Golden Heart Trust to raise funds to facilitate the well being of the teeming number of children with heart disorders.

Although the Dome wasn't packed to capacity on the night, the audience had a rollicking time as most of the artists gave off their best making it a night to remember not only as a fund raising night but a fun-filled one as well.

Tic Tac, the Ambassador of the Trust, gave revelers a good reason why he is goes by the signature phrase 'The Most Wanted” by churning out an eclectic collection of his crossover hits including Fe Fe Ne Fe as the crowd yearned for more. “Tic Tac rocks”, a member of the audience exclaimed in an interview after the show. Gyedu Blay gave off his best but took the crowd though his predictable arrangement of songs which seem to be almost the same at all events lately including Citti FM's MOGO concert.

When, founder of Hiplife, Reggie Rockstone mounted the stage, all pointed to the fact that show had reached its climax – his appearance, the flow, charisma and prowess blended to set the tone for an awesome performance that would linger on the memories of the patrons.

Former Joy FM Dj turned Pastor; Azigia Jnr was there with Doreen Andoh to anchor the charity show which organizers say could turn an annual event.

All net proceeds of the event are going towards heart surgeries for Ghanaian children suffering from a variety of serious heart conditions. According to the organizers, approximately 200 children in Ghana are diagnosed with heart disorders every year. The proceeds are yet to be announced.

To date, Golden Hearts Trust has sponsored the open heart surgeries of over 35 children. All surgeries take place at the National Cardiothoracic Centre. Linda Oppong and Josephine Boahemaa are kids who have so far benefited from the Trust, having successfully undergone open heart surgeries at the center.

YAA PONO’S 2011 “FILLA SONG”, THREATENS ASEM

Yaa Porno the uptown energy soldier from Pigen Music world has released a new single with direct fingers pointing to ASEM, the alleged rapper rapist in the music industry.

In the song, Yaa Porno made known that, from the very beginning of ASEM’s “Give me Blow”, the artiste from the lynx camp knew he was going to be rapping ladies.

Yaa also added that, ‘no wonder he said “Wobe da ntem” (Literal meaning you will sleep early), so when we sleep early you rape little girls’.

The uptown energy rap soldier called for the arrest of ASEM by the police or else he will rape all the ladies in Ghana.

Is funny how lyrics of musicians can tie them down, Yaa Porno who said he heard it in the news and is only giving his filla for 2011 just like how ASEM did in 2010, hence has nothing to do with the story formation.

Is this a case of laughter, revenge or a test to see how close our Ghanaian musicians are?

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.
