Empire Entertainment and Media GH
have teamed for a historic show dubbed, ‘Back In The Days’.
The show aims at bringing back old
time hip life artistes whose works have stood the test of time, on one stage.
The show will feature the crème
de la crème of the era when hip life began.
It is intended to unify the
industry one more time as artistes who had issues with eac
h other at the time
will use ‘Back In The Days’ stage to
settle their differences. The show promises a lot of other surprises.
Last Thursday, it was launched at
the Silver Lounge at the Accra Mall. Organizers said ‘Back in the Day’ was
scheduled for September 21 at the Dome of the Accra International Conference
Centre.
Each of the artistes would be
presented with a plaque on the night.
Among the lists of artistes for the
show are Reggie Rockstone, Ex-Doe,
Chicago, VIP, Samini, TH4 Kwages, Buk Bak, T-Blaze of ‘Wo sisi ye wo ya’ fame,
Akatakyie of ‘Odo sisi me’ fame, Tic Tac of ‘Philomena’ fame, Akyeame duo of
Okyeame Kwame and Okyeame Quophi of ‘Mesan Aba’ fame, Obrafour and others.
Some of the above-mentioned names
were at the launching ceremony on Thursday evening. Most of them expressed
their enthusiasm to be part of the show.
There is no doubt
that most of the old time hiplifers are still rocking and relevant; for instance
VIP, Samini and Okyeame Kwame.

However,
there are concerns about whether the likes of Lord Kenya will perform their old
songs for the “world”.
At
the launching, Ex-Doe and Chicago sat far from each other, but that did not
necessarily mean they have not ended their lyrical war.
Meanwhile,
Samini said he was happy because that event would give him the opportunity to
make up with KK Fosu and Kokoveli.
Okyeame Kwame also gave assurances
that after the show, perhaps Akyeame duo of Okyeame Kwame and Quophie would
bounce back.
