‘Rap Doctor’ speaks on why Ghanaian artistes shoot videos in South Africa


Okyeame Kwame, the "Rap Doctor"

Versatile musician Okyeame Kwame has revealed that the attractive locations and scenery in South Africa is what is luring Ghanaian artistes to shoot their music videos in that country.

Ghanaian musical heavyweights E.L, M.anifest, and D-Black seem to have fallen in love with South Africa especially when it is about shooting that eye-catching video for their club bangers.

The renowned rapper and singer Kwame Nsiah Apau, known in showbiz as Okyeame Kwame, in a recent interview, tried to explain the exodus of local artistes to South Africa to shoot their music videos citing the country’s beautiful scenery and sprawling infrastructure.

“The choice of South Africa is based on a number of factors from well-developed infrastructure and beautiful scenery to the professionalism of the production companies and their ability to deliver quality work in a timely manner.”

Okyeame Kwame has been in the music industry for well over fifteen years and has the experience which puts him in a better position to make such a judgment.

South Africa seems to be the ideal destination for many Ghanaians recently, with nearly all the popular musicians traveling there - in what seems to be in the seeking of possible greener pastures, particularly when it comes to the filming of their music videos.

One thing is for sure is that if Ghana does not seem to have comparable locations or production companies as opposed to South Africa then these Ghanaian artistes such as EL, D-Black, Becca, M.anifest and others do not show any sign of changing their choice of location anytime soon.

The Ford Ranger has received the highest award for quality in the midsize pickup segment in the US; according to the 2020 JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) report. The Initial Quality Study, now in its 34th year, is based on responses from 87,282 purchasers and lessees of new 2020 model year vehicles in the US who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The study took place from February through to May 2020. The JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) takes an updated look at the problems owners are having with their new vehicles, including those related to new technologies.

Redesigned Nissan logo signals a fresh horizon

How the badge’s physical identity was adapted for the digital world We are more connected than ever before. People are growing up with the access to knowledge and the potential for interaction that the internet offers. Our lives are as much digital as they are physical. Hence strong brands need to have effective touchpoints in both realms. For the past 20 years, Nissan’s outgoing logo has been a beacon on its vehicles and so much more. It has served as an identity, a business card, a handshake and the first greeting between customers and the driving excitement that Nissan vehicles provide. For decades more, Nissan’s logo has stayed true to a belief held by its founder Yoshisuke Aikawa, “Shisei tenjitsu o tsuranuku,” which he interpreted to mean, “If you have a strong belief, it penetrates even the sun.” While keeping this essence alive, Nissan’s new “calling card” reflects the significant changes in society over the last two decades. It is a reimagination of the iconic Nissan bra...
