Rapper Desmond Blackmore, popularly known as D-Black, has revealed that his ‘Vera’ hit song changed his life in 2012.
Speaking in an interview on Happy FM he said, “I started doing hiplife even though I did not have a firm grip on the local languages like Twi and Ga. I had to do hiplife to be able to survive.”
“So between 2010-2011, my first album was a hip-hop album. I got nominated all over the world. I was nominated for BET Awards, Channel O (South Africa) and Ghana Music Awards. But I was broke, I did not have any money at all. So sometimes I go to these countries with less than $200 in my pocket”.
“So I came back in 2012 with the intention of working on my 2nd album and I did a song like ‘Vera’ and everything change in my life. “From my cloths to my cars to sorting my mum out. Just one hit song. It was not hip-pop, it was hiplife. That album changed my life, so that is the difference,” he stated.
According to the Black Avenue Muzik boss, everything he said in the song ‘Vera’ was a true story. The song was about a lady he met during his secondary school days who slept with his friend.
However, D-Black’s Black Avenue Muzik record label has produced Wisa Greid, Freda Rhymz, Sefa, Dahlin Gage, Nina Ricchie, and Osayo. And has some great albums to his credit He also has some hit singles like ‘Vera’ and ‘Personal Person’ among others.
AMG Business rapper Medikal has asked his fans to pray so that history doesn't repeat itself.
If you could remember, rapper Medikal barley two years ago had 7 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) nominations, but sadly went home with 0 awards.
Consequently, he was trolled to the maximum on the various social media platforms for failing out to win a single award in the various categories he was nominated.
Now, two years down the lane, Medikal has been nominated again in the same VGMAs that snubbed him in the past and from all indications, he’s damn afraid of the dicey outcome as he he’s begging for prayers not to go home with 0 awards this time around.
He posted via Instagram;
“Vgma today, thanks for your votes, let’s pray 2 years ago’s history doesn’t repeat itself today".
The youngest rapper from Uganda and probably in the world, Patrick Ssenyonjo aka Fresh Kid who is just seven years old, was recently a hot topic after Ugandan government threatened him with jail term for dropping out of school.

Well, it seems the hobby will soon start paying. Fresh Kid managed to get nominated in America’s prestigious awards dubbed Carolina Music Video Awards (CMVAs) thanks to his music video Bambi which was selected to battled it out in the awards whose gala is set for July 20 2019, in USA.
Taking to social media Fresh Kid urged fans to support him.
‘Hey guys I need your support please vote for me I need to bring this award home. Share as much as you can. Fresh Kid Nominated In U.S.A Awards – Purple TV Africa,” he wrote on Instagram.
