What happened to the first female hiplife group aka Triple M?

Do you remember the track Girlz Girlz? The song received massive airplay in late 2003 and it came as an answer to Okomfour Kwaadee's Boyz Boyz. Girls Girls introduced Triple M, made up of Mildred Mark-Hansen, Mercy Quarshie and Monica Tawiah, to the Ghanaian music scene. They were the first female hiplife group, even though they initially started out by singing gospel music in 1995. They never released a gospel album though. Another of their hit singles was Koti, a song about policemen who beats an irresponsible husband while his wife pleads for mercy. After the Koti album, they featured on Jay Q's Compilation, where they delivered one of 2003's biggest hits, Driver, which was the female version of Castro's Sradenam. Their sophomore debut was called 3+1=? (yes, you read that right). And then Mercy went solo, and we didn't hear much about the group. Museke.com brings you a quick update.

African musicians and style of dressing - Mzbel

So Mzbel has apparently had enough criticism concerning her style of dressing on stage and music videos, etc so she has decided to change from the Western style to the 'African' way of dressing - stop wearing bikinis, etc.

She has decided to choose the 'dipo' style because her mother is a Krobo (this will probably be more for performances). Do a Google image search for 'dipo krobo' and see what Mzbel is talking about.
Well, maybe she is kidding, maybe she is not.

From the studio to airplay, who gets heard? - Tinny's Now I know

Kaa bu ameSo after getting excited by NeezBuck's hot Letter to Ghana track with Derek Diggs (Stars of the Future Season 1 fame), I wanted more tracks on which he featured on. One was Heated up by Irene and Jane, which has a pretty nice video and is getting great airplay in Ghana. He also gave me a track he and Derek Diggs (K.O) did with Tinny (one of the more established Ghanaian musicians) called 'The way you wind'. I listened to track a number of times but I wasn't feeling that track as much as the other two but I felt it had the potential to sell. I never heard the song on Ghanaian radio but I heard a song strikingly similar also by Tinny featuring Samini. It didn't only get airplay, its video has been praised far and wide and is making waves on MTVBase Africa.
