The dancehall music scene in Ghana has seen remarkable growth in recent years, thanks to the influx of talented musicians who have contributed significantly to the industry’s development.
Introducing Chobl3 M3ka, a rising star in Reggae Dancehall whose hard-hitting sound stays true to the genre’s roots. In a recent interview on Metro TV, monitored by NewsandVibes, the Jamaican artiste shared his thoughts on Ghana’s dancehall landscape.
Chobl3 M3ka commended notable Ghanaian musicians such as Jupitar, Shatta Wale, and Stonebwoy for their contributions to the genre. However, he pointed out that many Ghanaian dancehall artistes lack an organic command of the patwa language, which affects the authenticity of their music. According to him, the deep cultural connections of the dancehall genre make it challenging to replicate its true essence without a natural understanding of the language.
He emphasised that while Ghanaian artistes have made impressive strides, mastering patwa is essential for achieving the full authenticity that defines dancehall music.
Chobl3 M3ka’s latest release, Pot Of Trouble EP, is a high-energy collection of tracks that blend infectious rhythms, sharp lyricism, and fearless explorations of life’s trials and triumphs. The EP showcases his commitment to keeping dancehall music true to its cultural roots while delivering a sound that resonates globally.
The conversation with Chobl3 M3ka sheds light on the evolving dancehall scene in Ghana and the importance of embracing cultural nuances to sustain its growth.
