Last Friday, award winning artiste, Lord Kenya proved that even though he is now a pastor, his new life cannot take away from him the fact that, he was once the biggest Hip Life artiste in Ghana who rocked several stages.
The Rap Heavyweight as he was known then put aside his bible and robe to join other Hip Life artistes he started the genre with several years ago to entertain patrons at the just ended ‘Back In The Day’ musical concert held at the Dome of the Accra international Conference Centre.
‘Back In The Day’ reminisced old Hip Life tunes produced in the early 90s and unified the artistes behind such hit songs – most of which are still relevant today.
Marking the day as 103rd birthday of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, first president of the Republic of Ghana, patrons had lots to dance and sing about as they got entertained from the likes of T-Blaze, Joe Frazier, Ded Buddy (now Qwesi), Paa Dogo, Native Funk Lord (NFL), TH4Kwages, Akatakyie, Keteke, Ex-Doe, Chicago, Slim Busterr, Abrewa Nana, Kontihene, Obrafour, Tic Tac and VIP
Also now a pastor, the once ‘bad’ boy Azigiza Jnr., who was a DJ, radio presenter and a musician also shown that he has not lost all that made him the best of what he was several years ago before his calling.
Opening the show before the MC’s entrance, DJ Perfect and Andy Dosty dished out old skuul Hip Hop tunes and intermittently mixed with Hip Life and High Life of yesteryears.
Azigiza after opening the show reminisced ‘back in the day’ era with various dance movements of yesteryears. Occasionally asking the DJs to swap songs, the audience remembered down memory lane.
After electrifying the already charged audience, first act, T-Blaze of Lifeline Family surfaced with first his ‘Secretary’ tune.
Now the party had started as patrons joined to sing and rap along with him. Then he moved on unto ‘Wosisi’. Not surprisingly as every voice in the auditorium tried to be heard singing the song.
One special thing about the ‘Back in the Day’ concert was that, the songs has been there over ten years, so patrons had less to worry about concerning the lyrics.
Heavy built with his sagging jeans hanging, TBlaze then dropped ‘Feeling nu ye deep’ and then to ‘Dua’ before handing over the baton to Joe Frazier who performed three songs including ‘Yaa Maame’ and ‘Shiishii’. His performance was intertwined with sporadic free styling.

I am not sure what was going on inside Martha Ankomah’s hair head. The fact that you can afford it does not mean you should use it all when you buy the pack sweety…LOL She looks beautiful but that hair comes across as TOO much and a lil heavy for me. And Nana Ama McBrown … Read more
