Artiste manager, Nana Asiamah popularly known as Bulldog has stated that Black Sherif’s first studio album, “The Villain I Never Was,” will do better than the much anticipated Sarkodie and Shatta Wale albums.
The last quarter of the year 2022 is big for Ghana Music because Black Sherif just dropped his debut album on October 6, Shatta Wale will release his “Gift of God” album on October 17, while Sarkodie is expected to release his “Jamz” album on November 11.
Speaking on Day Break Hitz on Hitz FM this morning, Bulldog stated that Sarkodie and Shatta Wale’s albums are likely not to do so well as compared to Blacko’s album.

His reason, Blacko has got an international record label that will push his music to a wider reach.
“I woke up this morning and I was like wow, this month of October is a serious month because we have three of our artists releasing. Black Sherif just released, Sarkodie will release in a few days, then Shatta will release. Now listen, from the top of my head I said Black Sherif will do better than all of them,” Bulldog stated on the show.
Explaining why he thinks Blacko’s album will top any other albums, he stated;

“If you look at the numbers, Black Sherif has a label. Shatta is about to compete with Empire (Black Sherif’s record label), Sarkodie is about to compete, they don’t have the strength to do that, they don’t. Empire is a subsidiary of all the Warners and all that, they don’t have the power, in terms of reach Blacko will do better, unless some a miracle. But you see music has changed in the system…you can’t do this alone. It’s not about the talent, its about the reach.”

Lalue’s Last Dance, as majestic display of culture brings curtain down on Prampram Kpledomi
One striking feature about the LalueKpledomi festival is the Drum or “Kplemi”. Slashed with a permanent white marker, whoever carries it, carries the soul and spirit of the people of Prampram. It is their heritage.
For bystanders, it may look ordinary to the eyes but for those closer to it, it is a spiritual heirloom that has transcended generations. And it comes with blessings. The present generation therefore has a duty to ensure the traditional transition continues.
After all, it is through the sounds from the belly of the drum that draw the crowd together, to pay homage to their cultural heritage. And through traditional rites, the evocation of blessings is thus performed in the form of dance. There is no age limit to the performance, so far as one has the limb to move. So, after the first two that took place, the third and final one came off with the full and active participation of hundreds of participants from all walks of life, including foreign tourists.
Despite its festive nature, the spiritual aspects were also not left out- they were taken care of by the traditional priests and the various priestesses in charge of various deities. A procession often preceded the celebration to the grounds. The only difference for the final one is that it often ended up in Lakple or lower Prampram, where final rites are performed, and the drum dipped into the ocean.
First, the sound of the drum must kick in for the procession to begin. Bystanders then join in. once the procession enters Lakple and before a sacred tree is circled around as part of the rites, libation is performed another sacred ground. Upon the performance of those rites, the procession then visits key homes in the area, where associated rites and dancing are performed. Among the cortege in the procession, apart from the Queenmother Naa Osabu Abbey I, Nene Tetteh Wakah III, Paramount Chief, priests and various priestesses responsible for various deities, Dawhenya Mantse Nene Tetteh Kodie Arden IV was also present. There were also Asafoatsemei and Asafoanyemei. After the last performance, the cortege then proceeded to the beach, where rites were also performed by the priests for and on behalf of the people of Prampram. As a fishing community, prayers were said for bumper harvests for our fishermen and those associated with the business. Prayers were also said for other professional bodies and groups. Speaking to PramcitiTV, the YouTube Channel based in Prampram, Nii Ayiku Obleh IV, “Numlor Kpanyor” or Counsellor of Kley, said the third and final Kple offers the town an opportunity to cleanse itself from negative things.
“We are mandated by the gods to cleanse ourselves in the sea and once that is done, we can now celebrate the new year,” he added.
Part of the cleansing also involves the dipping of the drum into the ocean and once that is done, the public is therefore allowed to enter sea and bath.
Already, there are talks within the town of strategically packaging the festival as one of the most important hubs for cultural tourism.
