Fresh Prince Under Pressure To Get Married

Published on January 6, 2015

Fresh Prince (Prince Tamakloe) a member of the 4X4 group feels pressured by his family specifically his brothers to get married. His other counterparts in the group; Captain Planet and Coded are both married and obviously he thinks it’s time to tie the knot. We don’t know yet the exact reasons his family wants him to get married but this is a norm in our society. When you are successful most people think it’s good to get married rather than be single. Marriage is a huge decision one has to make on his own and he has to make this choice on his own.
4×4 is a Ghanaian hip hop musical group formed in 2000 by Sylvanus Dodji Jeoffrey (Captain Planet) and Raphael Edem Avornyo (Abortion now coded) with the help of Ronnie Coches and Bright Bling Sparkles (Buk Bak). They are reputed to have brought crunk to Ghana.
4×4 released their second album Contestant No. 1 in 2007, with the single ‘HotGirls.com’ featuring a new artist, Fresh Prince (Prince Tamakloe). The song is reputed to have introduced crunk to Ghanaian culture, and earned the group a Ghana Music Award nomination in 2008. “HotGirls.com” was a success, and Fresh Prince eventually joined the band.
Fresh Prince brought about so many changes in the group style which made more ladies love their music. He has a way with the women and they just love him and he brought his freshness to the group which elevated it. He has sang a song solely for the group and is a very important person in the group.
In 2009, 4×4 released another album World Trade Center. Which went platinum. The title song went to number one on the singles chart in Ghana and is the first and currently only Ghanaian song to make the Urban Charts in Africa. The single “Waist and Power” has also received over 600,000 hits on YouTube.
Captain Planet claims to have pioneered Ghanaian vernacular rap, using Akuapem Twi rap, Ga, Ewe, and Pidgin English. Abortion currently known as Coded contributes a ragga or dancehall style, which fuses singjaying and deejaying with Captain Planet’s rapping to create an innovative form of hip life.
