“Why do people say highlife is dead? It’s like saying big laptops are dead. Bigger laptops are giving way to tablets and smart phones.

Highlife is not dead!” he stressed.

According to him, highlife can gain the much needed premium if artistes make a conscious effort to collaborate with other experienced industry players to produce good content.
