WAS REGGIE ROCKSTONE REALLY THE LONE ORIGINATOR OF HIPLIFE
If you happen to embark on a quick research and decide to select say 50 people as your sample size and ask how many of them love music, about 45 of them would answer affirmatively…
Music is one thing that heals, educates, soothes the soul, gives hope, and do a whole lot of both positive and other stuff via lyrics.
Ghanaians were elated with their highlife as a music genre over the years until the grand papa dropped from Americana and Africanized the Hip-Pop over there to a new version which later came to be called Hiplife.
But people argue that Reggie Rockstone isn't the sole originator of the fast highlife tune blended with rap and unique beats. Some call the name of Obrafour too.
This argument has gone on for so long that we wonder if Obrafour's contribution wasn't that necessary to be seen as a “co-inventor” of Hiplife.
What's your take on this?
