		And of course just like hip hop in the US has been about folks freestyling over the beats of others, folks in Ghana freestyle over the beats of rappers from the US.
		True, many rappers and hip hop dancers here seem to follow the lead of US entertainers (especially African Americans), but it’s not that the Ghanaians have completely abandoned all of their own ways of representing.
		I mean, the idea that different folks can take it up and put rap and hip hop to use in so many different forms and forums is on another level, for real.

		The power and musical influence of Hip Hop as a global musical movement remains stronger than ever, now the voice of a generation since its rise in the early 90s.
		Hip Life began in Ghana in the mid 90s although it really depends who you ask - it was reported as early as the 80s and performed by artists such as Gyedu Blay Ambolley and K.K. Kabobo who did something similar.
		Two of Hip Life's rising stars are solo performer Tic Tac and trio VIP; both live in Ghana and were on a quick visit to London recently, on a pre-concert tour (details of that later) where I met up with them for a chat.

		Most Ghanaian pop music isn't widely available in the United States, probably because most Americans would find it corny.
		In contrast to American hip-hop, much of which is obscene, violent and pessimistic, Ghanaian hip-life is more likely to be uplifting (or at least innocuously inoffensive) -- a fact which I found rather refreshing.
		I heard plenty of Lord Kenya (a very strong singer in my opinion) when I was in Ghana back in 2001, but I don't know anything about Reggie Rockstone.
