Now its time for hiplife The Sound Of Ghana which tells the story of ghanas influential music genre, through key artists from the past, present and future. Rapping high spirits so they cant kill it gods plan, no man fit to. Hiplife is to us what Peanut Butter is to bread. This is what actually defines us as ghanaians. Every ghanaian everywhere is representing ghana with hiplife. I would not even have fathomed being a musician if hiplife didnt happen. The story of hiplife is important to tell. I dont walk around in the philippines in the philippines with the philistines i fulfil a Dream Ifulfila dream im not a rapper, im an ideas company. To understand the rising global influence of african music, you have to understand the story of hiplife. Clap your hands like there was a million mosquitoes here. When i did what i did i tagged it. So when i do put a piece of me between two bread and he called it a burger, he named it. And thats what i did. I made the hiplife. Hiplife music is a conversation between ghanas past. And its present. This is the story of a music genre that burst a global movement. But before hiplife, there was highlife. From ghanas independence in 1957 through to the 1970s, highlife was the nations soundtrack. Back in the colonial days they were using all these instruments for military songs, you know. Ba ba da. People were marching and things like that. The colonial marchers in their bow ties, they thought that that was a higherform of life. And they called it highlife. Highlife isnt originally from ghana. Highlife was brought to ghana by soldiers from the west indies. Ghanaian rhythms were pushed into the highlife. We take what is happening outside and we bring our own. I am the originator. Thats what i say, genuinely, im the tree. Those that came later were the branches. I there were children who didnt have money to buy, so we started using our mouth for rhythms. He vocalises the country in the world that has the richest tradition of orators and linguists is ghana. The king of the Ashantis Cannot speak to anybody. He can only speak through a linguist. The language is the rapper. But it was me who added rhythm. For the next two decades highlife artists infused global beats like reggae, jazz, funk and disco into the genre. In 1992, after 11 years of military rule, ghana had a new constitution and democratic freedom. Young ghanaians flooded the Cultural Capital accra. American hip hop dominated the newly liberated airwaves. A young music producer panji anoff tapped into that scene. I recorded a demo for almost every single rap group i could find in accra at the time, free of charge. The first person i wanted to work with is my childhood friend Reggie Rockstone. My name is Reggie Rockstone, the hiplife originator. Reggie is always hyped all the time and when he speaks its like hes rapping. I mean literally his language is like poetry. I grew up in colindale, uk, brixton, crackney, they call it hackney, grew up in brooklyn, new york, flatbush. Coming back home to ghana. � 93, � 94. When i got off that plane, the smell, the sunshine, the love right up till we started this movement called hiplife. Things took off when reggie met dj rab in accra. I met Reggie Rockstone in a nightclub called miracle mirage, and he was rapping on the mic. Rab was an African American who came to ghana to stay for a long period and help develop the sound that became hiplife. And i introduced myself, and reggie had these short locks at the time and he was with another rap artist called freddie funkstone, and i thought i was listening to rappers from brooklyn, so immediately i got out of the table. I said, look, i dont have any discs but i can make beats. We left the club at like four in the morning. We got to the Recording Studio at 10 or 11 in the morning, a few hours later everything just started clicking. Rab was very muchl like reggie as well. Two peas in a pod. Unfortunately he passed away. But yeah, rab was reggies partner in music for a long time. The two ghanaians raised in the west mixed hip hop with highlife and hiplife was born. I looked like the folks they had seen on mtv. I had the short draeds, the white, the tims, the camouflage. But then when i wrapped it blew everyone� s mind. But then when i wrapped it blew everyones mind.

And he was right, because at the time not long before i can, Naughty By Nature had blown up, with hey, ho, and my father always used to say how african that was, call and response. I could say that anywhere in ghana and i would get a response. It is like the heave ho, any time we have to move something heavy, it is that sound, this tells you how powerful sound, this tells you how powerful sound is. , w , sound is.

So as new versions sonically were happening, you could hear people saying, this is watered down, its not real, this thing, always the idea of real. You have to evolve or perish, thats what any music form has to understand. Those that were holding onto hiplife refused to acknowledge the evolution and a thing must evolve. A thing must evolve for it to survive. The thing must evolve. Shut up and bend over. Now shut up and bend over. Nowa shut up and bend over. Nowa new shut up and bend over. Now a new generation of artists raised on hiplife are writing its raised on hiplife are writing its next chapter. The fresh faces are selling out International Shows and captivating a global audience. I learned almost everything i know from the street. How to survive with no money in my pocket. There are a lot of songs made by hiplife artists that actually motivated me, kept pushing me to go, i could see people making ends meet from doing music which is hiplife music and i knew i had a space in there.

Hello. Weve certainly seen a lot more sunshine around today compared with yesterday. Clearest of the skies to the north and the west of the country, but we have seen lots of cloud in the east of england. Thats been pushing its way westwards and so a bit more cloud through northern england, the midlands, central Southern England for the afternoon, but with some sunny spells, odd isolated light shower. But as the skies brighten through eastern england, particularly through the east midlands, east anglia, south east, the chance of one or two heavy and thundery showers for a while. Most though will be dry and temperatures higher than the past few days, around 13 to 15 degrees quite widely, which sets us up for a beautiful afternoon for some rugby at the Cardiff Arms Park big clash between wales against england. Coverage of that will be on bbc two later. Fine evening here too. But in northern ireland, well see outbreaks of rain develop. Lots of cloud across Western Areas to end the night, end the evening, and that will spread in across much of the uk tonight. Its in the west, though, most likely to see some rain or drizzle at times, and a much milder night than last night, whereas to eastern counties of england, the reverse of last night, it will be a bit chillier, and even in east anglia A Touch Of Frost around. But The Big Picture For Sunday shows a Weather Front which will bring more cloud for us tomorrow compared with today. But what itll also do is introduce a shift in Wind Direction to a more southerly flow and so across western and northern areas, the yellow colours here denoting, milder air will work its way in. A lot of cloud, though, to begin with, very grey for many. Best of any brighter skies to the east. Well see the cloud break up with some sunshine coming through. Rain and drizzle across central Western Areas, becoming confined to coasts. And once the sun is out, particularly northern ireland, Northern Parts of scotland, we could see temperatures peak at around 17 or 18 celsius, so thats pushing towards the mid 60s in fahrenheit. But across the board in the mid teens for sunday. As for monday, well, again, there will be a bit of cloud to begin with, but not as much as sunday, and that will break up. One or two isolated showers in the north. Most, though, will be dry. Sunniest conditions through england and wales. And temperatures highest towards Western Areas where well see them up to around 17, maybe 18 degrees in one or two spots. The peak probably being around the inverness and moray coast areas again. With High Pressure in charge, then, for next week, were just on the edge of it and that does mean we will pick up more of a breeze coming in from the east and it could just bring a few showers and a bit more cloud on wednesday. But overall, a much drier and brighter picture than the weekjust gone, and temperatures back on the lift towards the end of the week. See you soon. Live from london. This is bbc news.
