Multi-talented artist Fimfim has challenged colleagues who claim Hiplife music is dead in the industry to tell him where the genre was buried.
He dared them with new rap music, which he titled “Hiplife Anthem,” a track on his “Boasiako” album.
Fimfim, in a recent interview with Max Morning Agenda, said the track was to promote “kasahare” [witty rap], which was slowly slipping away, to bring back the real Ghanaian witty tales.
He noted that most musicians of today were introducing a new conversation that the Hiplife music genre was no longer relevant in the industry, describing it as “dead.”
“Hiplife music died in which year? Where did they bury it? OSU or Awudome? Which kind of drum did they use to escort its burial service—the hourglass drum “Donno” or “Gomme? Who was the announcer of such terrible news?” he queried.
Fimfim said the acts of the current musicians could make Ghana lose its culture and values and reminded them that before the current drama, there was a concert party.
He made it clear that Hiplife would never die along with its mother genre highlife for the country to have a story to tell generations.
