Music Goes Beyond Language” – Joseph Matthew Flaws Nathaniel Bassey
Nigerian musician and pastor, Nathaniel Bassey a week ago pleaded that Ghanaian Gospel musicians need to write more English songs to be able to go global. He made this plea at the just ended “Jesus Christ Encounter” event held at the Accra Sports Stadium on December 3rd, 2023. The story which became topical among industry folk got many supporting him.
UK based Ghanaian Afro-gospel musician, Joseph Matthew thinks otherwise. In a new video he posted on his socials, he explains why a musician does not need to necessarily sing in English before going global and how musicians can actually shine globally.
In his presentation, Joseph Matthew looked up the literal meaning of “music” in the dictionary which did not have any language factor in it. He further elaborated on why as a musician, you should not be bothered by the language of operation but be perculiar and intentional on marketing the song. This he said is the hardest stage because in Africa, there are not many ‘money pumping’ labels that are willing to push Gospel music in Africa to the apex.
The reigning “Uk Based Gospel Song Of The Year” winner further established how Burna Boy, although does not sing entirely in English is making waves globally, because of the music label behind him.
Watch the video from below.
Joseph Matthew has released a new body of work he calls, “Promise Land”. Check it out from below.

Tillie Gya Defends Shatta Wale, Slams Stonebwoy Fans for Mockery
Ghanaian Reggae Dancehall artist, Tillie Gya, has come to the defense of Shatta Wale following his performance at Vybz Kartel’s Freedom concert. While some fans, particularly those of Stonebwoy, have been mocking Shatta Wale’s performance, Tillie Gya believes this is uncalled for. According to him, Shatta Wale’s inclusion in the concert is a big win for Ghana and Africa, and should be celebrated.
Tillie Gya took to social media to express his disappointment at the behavior of some Stonebwoy fans. He believes that fan bases in Ghana should know when to celebrate and when to compete. Instead of mocking Shatta Wale, fans should be proud of his achievement and the fact that he is putting Ghana on the map.
The debate highlights the intense rivalry between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy, two of Ghana’s biggest Reggae Dancehall artists. However, Tillie Gya’s comments serve as a reminder that there is room for all artists to shine and make Ghana proud. By celebrating each other’s successes, Ghanaian artists can work together to take the music industry to the next level.
Tillie Gya’s defense of Shatta Wale has sparked a conversation about the need for unity and support among Ghanaian artists and their fans. As the music industry continues to grow, it is essential for fans to recognize and celebrate the achievements of all artists, regardless of their affiliations or rivalries.

“A year of excellence” Joe Kole Outshines All in 2024
In the current ghanaian music space, it will be unfair to give all credit to artists without acknowledging the efforts of music producers.
One producer whom we can not turn a blind eye to his recent works is Wodzrah George, widely known as Joe Kole. From the days of Flowking Stone through to the era of King Paluta and Amerado.
The champion music producer, Joe Kole, has proven to be a timeless producer; recently being behind 80% of hit songs in ghana and being a core influence in the rise of kumerican music vibe.
Top artists such as Strongman, King Paluta, Amerado, Sista Afia, Eno Barony, Rap Father .etc are now big names because of his genius production.
There is no doubt he is a legendary producer and needs to be remembered, applauded, and most importantly, awarded in the coming TGMA.
Rap heavyweight; Eno Barony is out with No Manual album, and Joe Kole produced most of the songs on it.
Joe Kole has shown signs of never slowing down, we hope TGMA acknowledges him. To know him more, you can follow him on
