Ghanaian Reggae and Dancehall artists are unstoppable, and one musician is boldly claiming they’re leagues ahead of the rest of Africa. But here’s where it gets controversial—Ras Kuuku, the powerhouse behind hits like Kwame Nkrumah, isn’t holding back. In a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, he declared that Ghana’s Reggae/Dancehall scene is unmatched across the continent, citing its lyrical depth, electrifying stage presence, and global appeal as proof. And this is the part most people miss—while other African countries are making waves, Ras Kuuku argues that Ghana’s artists are the true pioneers, setting the bar so high that no one can touch them.
Ras Kuuku didn’t stop there. He called out Ghanaians for sometimes overlooking their own success, pointing out that instead of celebrating their achievements, many get caught up in petty rivalries and comparisons. Here’s the bold question he’s asking: Why can’t we unite behind our homegrown talent instead of tearing them down? He believes these internal divisions are holding the genre back from reaching its full global potential.
But Ras Kuuku isn’t just about calling out problems—he’s offering solutions. He’s urging fans, industry players, and the media to shift their focus from drama to support, emphasizing that unity is key to sustaining Ghana’s dominance on the international stage. He also reminded his fellow artists of the roots of Reggae and Dancehall—genres born from activism, resistance, and social consciousness. Here’s where it gets thought-provoking: Ras Kuuku challenges artists to use their platforms not just for fame, but to address real-world issues and inspire change. He asks, Isn’t that what makes music truly timeless?
What’s your take? Is Ras Kuuku right about Ghana’s unmatched dominance, or is there room for debate? Let’s hear it in the comments—are you team Ghana all the way, or do you think other African countries are giving them a run for their money?
