4X4 ALBUM ('4WORD') LISTENING SESSION

After ten (10) years of churning out hits after hits, Hiplife trio, 4x4 made up of Sylvanus Dodji Jeoffrey (Captain Planet), Raphael Edem Avornyo (Coded) and Prince Tamakloe (Fresh Prince) are set to release their sixth studio album "4Word".

Last Friday, the trio held an album listening session at the Movenpick Hotel in Accra to start what they have promised to be a vigorous publicity for their newest album, "4Word".

As a group, 4x4 has played around the different rhythms over the past 10 years of doing active music. They got their break into mainstream music with a Jama-inspired song 'Sikilitele', then quickly switched to Highlife with 'Odo Fitaa'. Following the introduction of Crunk, they joined the craze with 'HotGirls.Com', then changed to 'Miss Doctor' which was Azonto-inspired.

Their new album '4Word' is inspired by maturity. With 10 years of doing music, it's expected that maturity sets in, which is a major factor in their sixth album, which has songs including 'Moko Ni', 'Anadwo Y3 D3', 'Casanova', 'Block Money' and recently released 'I Go Marry You'.

Their previous albums are 'Siklitele', 'Contestant Number 1', 'HotGirls.Com', 'World Trade Centre' and 'Waist and Power'.

In celebrating their 10th year in the music business in Ghana, the trio will kick start their tour to some cities in Ghana.

Sincerely,”

SARKODIE DESCRIBES HIS TYPE OF WOMAN

BET Award winner, two time Artist of the year winner at Ghana Music Awards and the fastest rapper in Ghana at the moment Michael Owusu Addo known by his craft name as Sarkodie has describe his type of woman in a special one hour interview with Bola Ray on the Autograph on Cine Afrik over the weekend.

Although he might have talked about women with different shades in some of his previous songs, the Illuminati hit maker this time round explains what attracts him to women. Guess you are in dire need to know. Anyway, enough of the long article.

Sarkodie is attracted to women in spectacles. He will stop at anything to take a second look at a good looking lady in glasses.

Explaining why this choice of a woman and not perhaps the Yvonne Nelson like type of legs, Joselyn Dumas type of behind, Ama K. Abebrese’s lips, Naa Ashorkor’s facial and the type with a bust size like Nigerian presenter Toolz, Sarkodie disclosed that just like many, he’s had the perception and lived to realize that most ladies in glasses (spectacles) are serious minded people and are go getters and therefore his liking for such ladies.

Ladies, now the ball is in your court, hope to see y’all in spectacles perhaps at one of his upcoming concerts as that might be the first step to being recognized by the Rapperholic man but remember aside the spectacles, he talked about good looks.

Wish you well ladies and let the search of different shades of glasses begin.

2RAS RIDICULES 4SYTE MVA’S ORGANIZERS

This might sound more of a cliché as many artists have continuously expressed and will to continue to express their grievances at the release of nominations for various award schemes that excludes their works especially after a hard work done in a particular year under review.

2ras known widely for his hit singles Mede Bebom which featured legendary hiplife artist Obrafour and First Love which also featured Praye would not take lightly as his video to First Love was excluded from the nominees list for the 2013 edition of the MTN/4Syte TV Music Video Awards as he took to social networking site Twitter to express his disgust at the incidence.

Few minutes after the list was published, the artist replied our tweet with his concern stating that the multimedia outfit 4Syte had lost its ‘sight’ and was now operating as ‘PoorSyte.’

Check out his tweet at us; Is it 4syte or poorSyte MVA… if my first love wasnt gud enuff for nominations den I wonda wat da pannel sees as gud enuff

It must be added that we also noticed a lot of mishaps in the categories, and even on the night of the nominees' announcement, artistes like Eazzy and Gasmilla were invited, yet their names were missing on the list.

4Syte TV, organiser of the music video awards is yet to respond to the concerns or explain criteria for the selection of this year’s music videos.
