Africa Hiplife

Born from Accran street culture and heavily influenced by American hip-hop, hiplife mixes the fast delivery of rap MCs with synthesised backing. Wall-to-wall digitised beats and heavily Auto-Tuned vocals ensure hiplife remains on Afropop's cutting edge, but a reliance on folk melodies and local Ghanaian dialects Twi and Fante keep this ever-evolving style firmly inside West African tradition.
