Mzbel and co. in trouble as Diamond arrives

If her style doesn’t melt your heart then you are a living ghost. If her soothing voice doesn’t captivate your emotions then you need not to exist and if her beauty doesn’t bewilder you then you need to be incarnated.

If what I have heard is anything to go by then our Hiplife ladies should be ready to face the stiff opposition the latest hiplife sensation is bringing to bear on the industry

The advent of Hiplife music about a decade ago is continuing to score glittering marks with greater dimensions as far as our youth, more especially the ladies who are doing everything under their sleeves to make it to the top, are concern. The likes of Mary Agyepong, Abrewanana, LA, Triple M and Mzbel are among the nations finest in recent memory.

All this while, many aspiring young ladies have started emerging and are riding on a high pedestal with their maiden albums whiles, others are still struggling to make ends meet, hopping that “debi dabi ebeye yie”,( it will be well one day), they might be gesturing though.

One such person is the new Queen-on-the-block, sensational Diamond Nannah Appiah also known in the showbiz as Diamond (Sexy-D). She is out to state her case in the industry with her current hit album, “Aka Makuma” with other hit songs like, “Kasa Kyere Wukunu”, “Enkamimi” and “Feely Me”.

Having had the knack for music since her school days in Accra Girls, where she used to write her own lyrics during mathematics classes, the fair pretty song-bird has flourish to become a superstar.

Currently her single “Kasa Kyere Wukunu”, is enjoying a substantial amount of airplay among the radio stations. As a composer, arranger, singer cum rapper Diamond represents the modern day hiplife icon. Her dexterity and self confidence coupled with her youthful exuberance and the fact that she is an actress has made her entry into the industry a smooth one since she is already a household name.

Her style is a combination of highlife rhythm and a flavor of blend Hiplife and jama feel. If the two personalities she featured on the album are anything to go by then fans should expect something big and unique. The two, Daddy Lumba, represent contemporary hilife whiles Castro represent the new order of Hiplife.

She disagreed to a suggestion that some of her words are strong and promote promiscuity, and said “I sing about realities. I don’t believe in profanity in music but to say it the way it is suppose to be. I want to be judged by what I stand for but not somebody’s own imagination”

Her emergence has become possible because of the tenderly support she had from her mother and some well wishers. Having showbiz as an in-born quality since childhood, the sexy ebony diva soon realized that there is no where for her except the music and movie industry.

Who is Diamond, and how far has she traveled through the tortuous journey from the scratch to where she has gotten to? She was born to the late Yaw Appiah and Madam Joyce Agyie of Ejisu in the Ashanti Region. She schooled at Accra Girls Secondary School before she went to UK to study at Lewishan Collage. She is single.

She has already featured in some movies, notably “Amsterdam Diary”, “Coming from America” and “Dada Ba” and her entry into the music scene means Diamond has joined a few actresses in the continent who have combined the two trades at the same time; the likes of Genevieve, Omotola, among others easily come to mind. So she has pushed herself into it, head, body and soul.
