Abrewa Nana - Where is she now? Making A breakthrough in the Ghanaian music industry has always been the dream of many hip-life, high-life and gospel artistes. Yet, it's an issue of making the hit and
maintaining that position.
This week, your exciting Friday Chronicle's entertainment crew is out to jolt your memory on some of your once exciting celebrities in music that are fading out.
Once upon a time, a lady emerged to challenge the hip-life male-dominated industry, making way for other female rappers to pursue.
Popularly known as Abrewa Nana, she made news wherever she appeared, to both the young and old but surprisingly, she no longer hits the scenes and many are her fans that seek to listen to her do her own thing.
Though her silence is unusual, her style and charisma still linger on.
Way back in the year 2000, she was featured by Daddy Lumba, and she really exhibited a great sense of rap and music combined. Gone are the days when "asie ho" was the catchphrase, Borax made a great entry into the hip-life industry and his sudden departure leaves much to be desired.
The last time we heard from The Executioner, he said he was retiring from hip-life; after creating an image for him as the "Rap Sofo", Obrafour who is always in his locks and
never short of proverbs has decided to go talent hunting in the quest of discovering a new artiste.
His style was unique and spectacular, no wonder he won some awards for his well executed job. His fans crave for more and thus wish he came back for a second time.
Despite the fact that he made a hit with the song "Yaho Ya," Mad Fish has been off the scenes for quite some time. Some say he is working on a current album, others say he is out of the country, wherever he is, he will always be remembered for that record which will forever remain dear to his fans.
Do you remember this one? Scent noooooo, Scent no Age bebia, it really did great with controversial Sydney as usual doing what he is noted for. However, he is missing in action and his fans are all using virtually the same word: 'WHY?'.
Finally, where is Rev Yawson? After his gospel track was released way back in the 90s, he quietly disappeared from his fans, leaving them in suspense over his whereabouts.
Till date, gospel music lovers never mince words when singing his tunes.
