tis Ebeneaer Anangfio guy neva writes sense, he makes journalism luk STUPID!!!!!!!
never heard of them.. but they shld be careful about these foreign based labels who have no recognition abroad.
@mimistephens,
Well said. They should. Too many self-created enterprises with nothing backing it up in the Diaspora. They should look into the backgrounds of this peeps and not just believe them blindly ’cause they based in Abroad. Not all that glitters is Sika.
For the entertainment Media Personality’s, here’s how you check up on anyone claiming to be in Music Biz on the international level. There is a global database that if anyone produces/sing something on the international plain, their information is added to it so use it to look up on people and not what they claim to be. Sort of like a Wikipedia of Artist/Groups/Producers. Enough is enough. It takes a little bit more than just mere Customized Tea-Shirts to call yourself a record label. lol.

@mimistephens,
They should look up peeps background from this global database. Any who’s ever released anything on the globe and signed to an accredited label is listed in it. There’s too much sharks and huzzlers/drug cartels in this game and it’s messing it up for everybody.
