Occupy Julorbi House: EL joins day 2 of demonstration; says Ghanaians are tired
Ghanaian rapper, EL has joined day two of the “Occupy Julorbi House” demonstration following a “distasteful” tweet about the protest yesterday.
While scores of celebrities were adding their voices to the movement via tweets, EL had shared a tweet totally out of subject, which prompted his followers to ask him to “read the room.”
Artists,
Presently, Consumption of music is at an all time high,But not through traditional sources , Spotify , iTunes ect
But through apps, Insta, TikTok..
This forces artists to become more “gimmicky”, at the same time songs will lose value & longevity
good or bad?.
