We once reported news of Wanlov & Kwaku-T appearing in a film called Scar. Not much has been heard of it since but fresh news talks about the FOKN BOIS (Wanlov & M3nsa) in a musical called 'Coz ov moni' (Because of Money). The two have collaborated on a lot of projects lately, including Broken language, etc.

Ameyaw Debrah writes - I am sure that Ghanaians by now have gotten used to seeing rapper Wanlov walking bare-footed in town in the usual wrap around his waist with little or no underpants beneath. However the free spirited artist together with friend and acclaimed composer/rapper/producer M3nsa, reveal a lot more on tape for their upcoming movie, ‘Coz Ov Moni’. The two musicians weren’t shy at all in showing bits of the backsides in several scenes in the simply hilarious flick. At a recent press preview, the two new members to the acting fraternity explained that the nudity in the flick wasn’t in bad taste because it is not sexual in nature. So don’t expect another ‘Heart of Men’!

AlJazeera English has a programme called Playlist where different types of music from all over the world are featured.

In the videos below, PLAYLIST encounters hiplife the music of modern Ghana touring the clubs of the Ghanaian capital, Accra, to meet the masters and rising stars of western-Africas latest fusion sensation. Hip hop is assumed to be an American invention. But African artists and MCs will argue that the history of hip hop belongs to them. They say it is traceable back to rhythms, instruments and drums indigenous to Africa, and has been thriving since the early 1990s, when musicians fused traditional Ghanaian high-life music jazzy horns and guitars with hip hop beats and flowing rap lyrics, and hiplife was born. We talk to Reggie Rockstone about this exciting sound.

PLAYLIST also travels to New York to find out how the hiplife scene is storming the clubs of the USA. From its birthplace in Ghana, west Africa, the hiplife movement and its stars are reaching out to audiences far from home. And we hear from some of hiplife's stars Batman Samini, VIP and Wanlov de Kubolor.

Watch the features below

When we interviewed Wanlov last year, he talked about shooting a video for a song called ‘Only your walkin’. He said the song was on a producer led album by one DJ Richy Pitch from the UK and the album featured himself, Mensah, Reggie, Sena, etc. We got interested in the work by Richy Pitch, tracked him down and asked him some questions about his Ghana LP. He shared some thoughts on Ghanaian hip hop and music in general. Below is the transcript of the interview

Museke.com: Hello, how are you?
I’m good… how be Chale?

Museke.com: How did you get into music?
If you mean the business, I started out as a DJ, I am resident DJ of a big Hip Hop night in the UK called Scratch. From record collecting I got into beat making and music production using computers.

Museke.com: How did you get the name Richy Pitch?
My Mum and Dad called me Richy Pitch from when I was a young kid so it stuck, plus it’s musical too 

I interviewed Wanlov da Kuborlor, a Ghanaian musician recently and one of the African musicians, he said he admired was Ayetoro (actual name is Funsho Ogundipe, Ayetoro is the band/music). He called him a step ahead of Fela. Every Nigerian and their father is in love with Fela Kuti's music so for anyone to say anyone is a step ahead of Fela is a very bold statement.
These were Wanlov's words - "He has all world class musicians in his band, he never plays anything he has recorded, creates new songs for his shows, records them at the show and never plays them again." I want to find out about that too.

Wanlov the Kubolor and Kwaku T are getting to appear in the latest film to come of Ghana. Shooting of the film is scheduled for late March this year.

The originator of Kubolor music, Wanlov is Ghana to stay and guess what? Move into the film industry. Insider information reports that he cannot wait to work with Kweku T.

Kweku T on the other hand sees this film as a chance to try his hands in the action film genre. Infact he is busy in training and getting those "Killer Moves" ready.

Kubolor kubolor kubolor kubolor kubolor!!!

Last year Wanlov the Kubolor landed in Ghana after living in the states for over seven years. Some people were skeptic of his reception because his music is fresh, but Wanlov has allayed all their fears.

Before Wanlov's listening party @ Hypnotic he had already performed in Tema for the children at a fanfare alongside Kwaw Kese & King Ayisoba. He also performed with them at an ADOM FM blood drive held that very day and they closed the night with a live performance and interview on Meridiam FM also in Tema.

Wanlov recently featured with Reggie Rockstone on his upcoming greatest hits album on the remake of "Eye Mo De Anaa?" featuring Tic Tac. The Kubolor was so inspired to be in the studio with the godfather of Hiplife that he did not even waste time taking the track, produced by M.A, home to write to. Wanlov simply paced up and down in the studio while putting the lyrics together in his head and recorded it some minutes later.
