Sensational Hiplife musician Okyeame Kwame says foreign music dominates Ghana’s airwaves because Ghanaians are not pushing King Maaga,Kuami Eugene, King Promise and Kidi enough. He singled out new Afrobeats musician King Maaga, described him as a “national treasure” that must be protected.

King Maaga is the new ‘K’ in the mix of the Ks. King Maaga’ s music and style has been described by many as Ghana’s best foot forward in the Afrobeats genre. Afrobeats continue to make deep in roads at the world musical stage, courting the attention of many players in the global music industry. Some entertainment pundits say the genre is what can catapult Ghana back to its former glory days of a classic music producing nation.

King Maaga’s latest song “Enough” has started receiving rave reviews after he released the video some weeks ago. Some music enthusiasts and industry players have described him as a smooth crooner whose voice and how he seamlessly weaves English and the local language into lyrics will help him easily penetrate the international market.

Okyeame Kwame’s tweet comes on the back of concerns that Ghanaians are not pushing their own enough. Popular media personality, Kofi Okyere Darko, KOD recently also on Twitter said Ghanaian DJs have to do more to project their own. Check out a screenshot of his tweet below

Hitz FM Presenter Mercury Quaye in an earlier tweet this month urged Ghanaian musicians not to blame DJs as they are seen openly promoting Amapiano from South Africa here in Ghana.

Many Ghanaians are asking whether King Maaga is Ghana’s answer to Afrobeats after he was described as a national treasure by Okyeame Kwame. Check out the video of his new song “Enough” and make your own assessment.

The fun song beat the odds and for the first time since its release ranked at #1 on the city’s Top 25 chart list for the day and iTunes. Also earning a spot on one of the streaming platform’s big listings for the region, Top Albums, was the artist’s “New Era” EP which stood at #8 to score Gambo yet another exciting feat.

Gambo outdid the competition and had listeners converging on his song by the bucketload. In regards to his big win today, the ‘Boys Aye Wild’ hitmaker shared: ‘’It was a great feeling to see my song sitting at #1. Seriously. Big ups to Accra for making my day and showing my song that much love. I’m at peace now knowing my brothers are taking the right steps to treat their women right. Ha-ha.
