Chymny Crane Serves Meek Mill A Dish on Beat

0

Who Is Chymny Crane?

Despite not being a household name, Chymny Crane has garnered a cult following who prioritizes his witty, hard-hitting lyrics as a forte. Delivering his bars in English, Ga, and Twi, the Advice Yourself rapper has proven to be adroitly creative in rap. To Prove his stature as a worthy contender who gets to be on Dream Chasers, the rapper has taken to the booth to drop yet another dope song.

The song titled Letter to Meek Mill has the rapper delivering impeccable bars first in English, then Twi, Ga, and finally Pidgin. Suffice it to say; the rapper brought his A-Game as he attempted to catch the attention of the American Rapper Meek Mill.

What is Dream Chasers, and Why Does Chymny Crane Deserve a Spot?


Dream Chasers Records is an American record label owned by Meek Mill. It currently has Chino, Omelly, Yung Ro, Yung Bleu, Vory, and Louie V Gutta. As Meek Mill’s business expands, he constantly seeks talents to bring on board as they all chase dreams through music. Chymney Crane, who has been rapping on the Ghana Music scene for some time, has possessed the resilience required to be labelled a Dream Chaser. Chymny Crane has dropped countless songs over the years, the skill level has never waned, and neither has the desire to succeed. Coming from a battle background like Meek Mill, the Ghanaian rapper has earned his spot as a bar-for-bar rapper who takes on beats and makes meat out of them. A pure lyricist, the infectious rapper dominates every beat by standing out with his flow and punchlines. This makes him an awesome contender for a Dream Chaser spot.


The Ghanaian Rapper is arguably the only emerging artist to pen a well-crafted song targeting Sarkodie. Several controversies arose from that song; however, in the spirit of rap, one could appreciate the soul in the venom poured into his Advice Yourself song.

Background to Chymny Crane’s Quest

American Rapper meek Mill was recently in Ghana for the Afro Nation Festival. The visit was a dream come through as the Philly-born rapper has always wished to visit Ghana. Aside from the thrilling scenes that graced his visit, Meek Mill expressed interest in working with some Ghanaian artists. Many suggestions have been flying around social media, with Shatta Wale suggesting the Landlord, aka Sarkodie, Medikal, and Kwesi Arthur, as possible signees to Meek mill’s Dream Chasers label.

While most names flying around are worthy contenders with a good repertoire, a stiff competitor has expressed a desire to be signed by dropping some amazing rap tune. We hope Meek Mill and his team get to see it and give the rapper a shot.

Check out some Chymny Crane’s repertoire.

6 months after Sally M’s debut project, Attention, Ghanaian singer, and rising superstar Sally M known in private as Sally Mugabe Hayfron has released her sophomore project, “Makoma”, available now across digital music stores worldwide.

“I write my songs and do not see the difficulty in doing that. All my life, music has been part of it, even during my childhood days. So, after completing my diploma, I decided to take it professionally and full-time,”

A Limited Edition Ghana Sneaker released by Isolirium is causing stares for its beauty, ingenious design, and spirited theme. The sneaker is a relic worth owning and was designed and produced by Ghanaian Rapper Dr. Pushkin.

Presented in a blend of Ghanaian Colors with a prominent Black Star, the sneaker offers comfort and a sense of belonging. Place an order through the link below.

Isolirium Fan Store – isolirium

Going into the world cup, Ghana paraphernalia has been flying around, all in a bid to win interest in the Ghana Black Stars. However, it is worth knowing that the sense of being Ghanaian isn’t limited to periods like this. People in the diaspora who may not have other Ghanaians immediately around them continue to hold on to Ghana by acquiring beautiful items that symbolize the very soul of Ghana. From the Ghana Flag, and Art Pieces, to branded Shirts, Ghanaians always wanted to present themselves as Ghanaians.

With the dynamics of the music business constantly evolving, ingenious musicians continue to stand out by exploring all available means to expand their empires. Even though he already has a line of products from his music, Dr. Pushkin continues to prove his essence by doing more. With this magical Ghana-themed Limited Edition Authentic Sneaker, Dr. Pushkin is definitely in for the long haul of staying relevant, making incredible music, and making the most of the business.

Ghana went into the world cup as underdogs, and musicians sort to influence the public’s interest by releasing songs. KweKu Flick dropped “Blackstars” with Smallgod; King Promise dropped “Black Stars” with G.F.A.; Akwaboah released “Bring Back the Love,” and more recently, NaCee dropped “Ye De Ba.” Fortunately, despite the nonchalance, the “Ghanaian” in every Ghanaian showed on the day Ghana faced the highly Ranked Portugal. The results proved the spirit of Ghanaians doesn’t seem easy to bend.

Dr. Pushkin has always pursued what can influence thought and change; with this new venture, one can see a call to action, i.e., upholding the image of Ghana through art, music, and fashion.

This Limited Edition Ghana sneaker is sold exclusively on the Isolirium website. However, plans are advanced to place the sneaker in other stores for all who identify with Ghana.

Way to go, Champ!

ExGlo Foundation to the Rescue

0

ExGlo Foundation has once again stepped out into the regions in the spirit of giving and teaching how to fish. This time around, the beneficiaries were the Tamale Girls Senior High School in the Northern Region & Srafa D/A Basic School/community, in the Central Region. As an organization operating on the principle of meeting the real needs of people, the activities in these two regions were based on a needs assessment conducted earlier in the year.

How ExGlo Foundation Arrives at initiatives

ExGlo has previously been involved in paying school fees for students from deprived communities, donating school supplies such as tables and chairs for staff and students, health screenings and talks, career guidance, and equipment for processing raw materials such as shea nuts, among other things. The foundation continues to strive in diversifying its impact projects and supporting livelihood ventures.

The needs assessment found that young girls in Tamale had a high tendency to start their own businesses after high school when they are not able to continue their education. However, with little to no skill acquisition, this desire did not always materialize for people who lacked financial resources. ExGlo was there to fill that hole by teaching these girls for free.

The situation for the Srafa community was different yet precarious. In a farming community, girls unable to pursue higher education join their parents on the farms to support themselves and their families; and given that farming is a seasonal occupation, the women become idle when the season is over. With most women being housewives, skills acquisition could put them on the path equip to financial freedom.

ExGlo Foundation Gets on the Field

The ExGlo team visited these two regions on different dates; on the 12th of November 2022, students of Tamale Girls Senior High School received their skills training in Liquid Soap and Bead making.

  • ExGlo-Foundation-Tamale-Girls-Senior-High-School-13

The ExGlo team later travelled to the Central region on the 18th of November, 2022 to visit the Srafa Community. The visitation was in 2 phases. The first phase was the donation of some essential needs of their basic school to facilitate learning as well as the provision of materials to enhance good menstrual hygiene. Items donated to the school included markerboards,sanitary pads, towels, soaps, African print cloths (to cover themselves with it in the washroom when changing), dozens of panties and a cupboard where all these

menstrual hygiene items can be kept. ExGlo foundation also repaired the spoilt hand wash basin in the washrooms and fixed the markerboards as well.

The second phase involved the entire community, but primarily the women. They were taught how to make shampoo, liquid soap, and pastries, which was a huge success. The women were equipped with these skills to help them generate extra income to support themselves and their families.

This year’s Skills Development Training was sponsored by St John’s Hospital and Fertility Centre, Tantra Hill roundabout, as part of their corporate social responsibility, Best Western Premier, Accra Airport Hotel, and other benevolent people, ExGlo once again moved to impact lives. Special thanks to all who supported making sure these two programs were a success, especially Mr. Michael Sandow Ali (the chairman of the board), Mr Abeiku Aggrey Santana, Prof. Joshua Y. Abor, Prof. Mrs. Vera Fiador, and other family & friends.

There is More to come

Despite targeting the Central Region, Northern Region, Upper East Region, and Upper West Region for the Skills Development Training of 2022, ExGlo had to limit the number of locations to 2 due to financial constraints. However, the organization continues to seek support from the general public, other NGOs, and organizations to help execute this cause and reach out to more beneficiaries.

TRENDS RUNWAY Was a Success In 2022

About Trends Runway

The maiden edition of the Trends Runway show was held in Tamale at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in November 2021. The night brought some delight to the city of Tamale. Generally, the organizers were impressed with the number of audiences who turned out for the program and the patience they exercise and stayed till the show was over.

One of the Accra-based designers, expressed his joy and delightfulness at seeing the audience still glued to their seats as late as 12 midnight when people would begin to leave at about 9 pm in Accra when the show has not ended. The atmosphere and reception of the people of Tamale were a new experience for him and this overwhelming. According to him, this was an indication that they were really welcomed in Tamale with their fashion.

Trends Runway Revelations

The missing vibe in the organization’s structure was the conspicuous absence of women. In an interview with Abdul Raafi Mohammed on Sanatu Zambang Hotspot Live, the organizers bemoaned the difficulty of getting women involved in working with them but they hope to improve upon representation in the subsequent editions.

Trends Runway also revealed the difficulties in training the models. They had to run shifts for the trainees because most of them were not regular and kept missing days in training. This made their work very difficult.

Talking of the sponsorship, the organizers admitted that, they had a tough time getting people and organizations to sponsor the program.  They reiterated that most cooperate bodies would ask for sponsorship letters but when the letters are given out to them, they would decline to grant any sponsorship.  

In organizing this fashion show, they noted that most of their sponsorships came from friends and family members, which was totally unacceptable and discouraging for the growth and success of the program.

One of the points that were also highlighted in the interview was the fact that designers are being limited by clients says Abdul Raafi. Fashion designers are not being challenged by clients to be creative and come out with their own designs. Clients come to seek services demanding replicas of dresses they see on the internet. But the panelist was of a different view. They said it was the duty of these fashion designers to educate their clients about the fashion business and the work they actually do.

Kinelman Releases Music Video featuring Dr. Pushkin

Kinelman Drops “Dough”

Kinelman is arguably one of the finest new entrants to the Ghana Music scene. Despite vigorously pursuing his desire to be a Medical Doctor, the young Kumasi-based musician is leaving no stone unturned as he advances his passion as a singer on the side.

Releasing his debut single “Dough” a few months back, one would have expected a chill; however, the enigmatic artist has released the video to the song, which features Isolirium’s lead artist Dr Pushkin

“Dough” is premised on gains for musicians and, to an extent, creatives. While Kinelman reiterates the need to stay focused on the talent and monetary reward from music in sweet melodic vocals, Dr Pushkin details the instances within the business that need change. In effect, the two musicians are making a case of “we’ve got to get paid, we’ve got to succeed” for the music we do.

It is safe to say Kinelman & Dr Pushkin, known in private life as Dr Paul Azunre, are joining the chorus of many. However, instead of ranting like a Shatta Wale, they found an entertainingly musical way to perform the message. On why he featured Dr Pushkin, Kinelman described Pushkin as a mentor, someone he always wanted to connect with. On one of those fully charged days, he sent a text to Dr Pushkin via Instagram. That message resulted in a discourse on several things and eventually a collaboration.  

Check out the video “Dough” by Kinelman & Dr Pushkin below.

The Man Michael Tabi

Born Michael Tabi Elman at Asuoyeboah: Kumasi on December 25th, Kinelman gets his musical influence from a wide range of genres. Notably amongst them Afro-Beats, Hip Hop and Afro-Pop. Those mentioned above characterize his songwriting. 

Michael Tabi Elman at Asuoyeboah AKA Kinelman

Music has always been a part of him as he grew up Asuoyeboah community; however, that has also never affected his love for academics. He is currently a student at KNUST School of Medicine and Dentistry. Dabbling in music and pursuing his academic desires haven’t been easy. Considering the costs involved in making a great artist, “Dough” is easily seen as a miracle. 

At a very early stage, he learned to appreciate failure as a part of the process. However, it should always be confined to a setback position, not a bleak end. Thus, leaving music at that age didn’t seem a thing of forever. As he grew older, read more, and knew more, he appreciated the thoughts from his childhood. The process made him always keep an eye on the price, never give up, and innovate.

According to Kinelman; 

“Naturally, I developed a passion for music myself, and as of now, I’m combining school and music. I enjoy doing music, and I know I will be pursuing music as a full-time career soon.

Combining school and music became a major hurdle in my early life. I performed well in class but always did averagely during exams. The situation led my teachers to confront my parents, which led to my music life’s collapse at the age of 11.”

Through hard work, he has successfully entered the university and now can balance music and studies. 

Sighting artists and other colleague university students on stage during the Republic Hall week celebration at KNUST was a booster. Kinelman once again took to his pen, started writing new songs, and eventually conceived the idea of an EP. “Dough” is coincidently the first single off the yet-to-be-titled EP. 

What is in the future for Kinelman?

The song produced by OneelBeatz since its release on April 28th, 2022, has become a major Kumerican anthem racing across charts worldwide. Even though he has songs with several producers, including CosCos, Z3na, Saint Madonna, and Sound Don, he’s readying an enviable tracklist for his EP, followed by an album.

On what makes him standout, Kinelman shared this;

“I am naturally curious and not slowed down by rejection. Although rejections sting, they don’t deter me. I believe in my voice and craft and will keep working until it’s heard everywhere.”

With “Dough”, Kinelman would soon be accorded the respect people like Knii Lante & Dr Pushkin enjoy.
