From "Awose Me" To "16 Years" - Mzbel

Mzbel Mzbel is inarguably Ghana?s most prominent female hiplife artiste. She stunt unbelievers with her debut album ?Awoso Me? last year, getting nominations in far away places such as London and Italy where she was nominated for best female artiste of the year for the Ghana Music Awards, UK and Italy. She won the honors in UK and will probably do the same in Italy when it is over.

Mzbel now has a new album titled ?16 years?. This time around, she featured such artistes as Castro on ?16 years? and ?Yopoo?, Tic on ?Twe Ma Me?, Screw Face on ?Yopoo? and ?Bra Fiifi?, Jerry Jay on ?Sanbra?, Bollie on ?Hus B la borro? and Melody on ?Mama Sweet?.

Her title track ?16 years? addresses the problem of child molestation. Uncle Danny, her producer says that even though it is a song it carries a subliminal message and warning that molesting an under-age youngster is a crime and it is punishable by law.

Her accomplishments as a singer and rapper are extraordinary as she tells us (Ghana Music.com) that she also has a song titled ?Mama Sweet? which will appeal to the international market.
