Citi FM launches Expressions of Accra – the Threads of Time

Published

on

citiIn aid of the Citi FM Foundation, Citi FM presents Expressions of Accra, themed ‘The Threads of Time.’‘Expressions of Accra – The Threads of Time’ is a fashion show that seeks to, through the use of local fabric and prints, tell the story of Accra in its past, its present and even venture into the future. Recognizing Accra as an ever evolving centre of urbanization, this fashion show seeks to capture its high points through the very artistic medium of fashion. ‘Expressions of Accra’ is not simply a trip into the good old days. It is about the good old days, the present, and most excitingly, an attempt to envision what fashion in Accra would look like in the future, say in 2050! The Threads of Time: The hands of Time are forever moving towards an indistinct future, in the process, pushing lives and societies into states of evolution and recurrent change. The alive and bustling city of Accra is not exempt to this evolution. In the swift passage of time and events, there is one important medium that captures it all: Fashion. Fashion is, arguably, the most expressive medium of a people’s past, present and future. Fashion encapsulates the totality of human life. It captures most accurately all moods of the times. Expressions of Accra (The Threads of Time) stands out from all other fashion shows in that it goes beyond the runway, taking its audience on a journey into a rich past to forge ways into an obscure future. It would capitalize on artistic expression of various forms to ensure that the audience is placed in a time capsule, an environment quite stimulating to the senses: Paintings, music, stage design and artwork, spoken word, and so much more. Expressions of Accra is a wholesome package of fashion, not for commerciality, but as a powerful fusion of history and art. Capitalizing on exploring young talent and expression, with an inclusion of seasoned designers, designers scheduled to grace the runway are Jacqui Johnson Couture Solutions, AfroModTrends, Msimps, Aya Morrisson, Kabengo, Sa4a, Elikem The Tailor, Fanny Ann Clothing, BATH Industries, DS Clothing, Karlren and Ashnorr. Tickets would be sold at GHC 50.00. Call 0266823535 for reservations. This program is supported by GTP NuSTyle, Ghana Commercial Bank, and The Weekend Globe. Media Partners are etv, B&FT, Weekend Finder, Agoo Magazine, Fab Magazine and Daily Guide. All proceeds from the show would be used to support the Citi FM Foundation as it puts up a Skills and Training Centre for over a hundred orphans in Trotor, a village near Suhum.]]>

Ice Spice remix stamps Cash Cobain’s “Fisherrr” as the Song of the Summer

Published

on

Ice Spice

Billboard Rookie of the Month, and multi-hyphenate NYC star, Cash Cobain has just linked up with Ice Spice for the long-awaited video remix for “Fisherrr”(feat. BaySwag) [18m+ Streams]. After bubbling the past few years with R-rated anthems over his own ethereal production – creating the playful “sexy drill” sound that he’s pioneered and taken to mainstream heights, Cash Cobain is stamping himself as a serious song of the summer contender with this remix.

Following up his two smash singles “Dunk Contest” (8m+) and “Fisherrr” (pronounced, ‘for sure), Cash is primed for his moment in the spotlight ––  hitting 1M Monthly Listeners on Spotify, Top 3 NYC Shazam Charts, having occupied the #1 + #3 slots of the NYC Apple Music Charts, hitting #45 on the Urban Radio Charts and counting, and now landing Ice Spice’s third feature ever  –– in the words of COMPLEX, “the summer of 2024 is looking very slizzy”. On the highly-anticipated remix, Ice Spice is simply in top-tier shape.

Adding her signature magnetic ‘it-girl’ flair, charming cadence, and instantly-coinable one-liners, she bolsters the lightning-hot single into astronomical territory with the opening lines –– “Got an attitude but I’m feelingless, so I ain’t mad at you, And I’m tatted too on this fatty-tude, I’m the baddest boo”.

The long-overdue collab from the two Bronx natives is seamless, with her being a tailor-fit alongside the ethereal, dreamy production and silky smooth verses from Bay Swag and Cash. With the recent releases of “Dunk Contest” (watch Genius ‘Open Mic’)  and now the Ice Spice-assisted remix for “Fisherrr” (feat. BaySwag), Cash Cobain is using his collaborative momentum from last year to continue elevating his signature sound, showcasing its influential and ever-growing widespread appeal in the process. In the words of Cash:“It’s a beautiful record. It feels amazing, it feels like NYC is back stronger than ever with me and Spice -– two Bronx legends. Get ready for the song of the summer.” 

Last month, Cash took over NYC with his birthday show, ‘Slizzyfest’ at Irving Plaza –– a night that was slated as a stacked lineup of NY’s finest, with rumors of an A-list superstar surprise set. After chatter spread online and the hype reached a fever pitch, the crowd became too much to handle and the show was ultimately canceled –– but Cash wanted to give the fans their money’s worth so he ventured into Union Square and threw a makeshift show with his crew, a Bluetooth speaker, and hundreds of adoring fans (read ‘I Went to Cash Cobain’s Slizzyfest and All I Got Was That Classic NYC Feeling’ via Rolling Stone + statement in Billboard).

Also in Billboard, Cash recently teased potential collaborations with Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, Don Toliver (seen filming a music video here), Lil Yachty and more –– a surefire sign of the worldwide stardom soon to come. These recent releases arrive on the heels of a career-defining year in 2023 that closed with the production of PinkPantheress“Nice To Meet You” (feat. Central Cee), which debuted at #20 on Billboard Hot 100 (he also starred alongside her in a nationally-syndicated Apple commercial for the new MacBook).

This was preceded by producing Drake’s “Calling For You” (feat. 21 Savage), which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, DJ’ing at Travis Scott‘s Cactus Jack x Audemars Piguet event, and releasing his critically-acclaimed debut solo album Pretty Girls Love Slizzy with Giant Music.
