Hiplife grand papa Reginald Yaw Asante Osei a.k.a Reggie Rockstone has revealed the biggest achievement of the genre he created.
Reggie Rockstone, who was speaking in an interview with Amansan Krakye on Radio Central, stated that one of the biggest achievement of hip life is employment.
He said : “The biggest achievement of hiplife is the employment, it has created jobs. Without hip life I don’t know what some of these would have been doing. It brought a lot of employment, from radio, television, it’s affected everything. If hip life didn’t come like Jay Z and the rest won’t come to Ghana. It’s created jobs, today Sarkodie can be on a billboard. It has created a lot of avenues for the young to express themselves”
He added : “Apart from that it’s hip life we use to entertain ourselves in town, we dance with it at parties and other places. Music is food for the soul so we are feeding the soul”,
The music genre ‘Hip life’ was pioneered by Reggie Rockstone in the early 90’s. It is a mixture of highlife and hip-hop, basically songs with chorus and rap.
