Slow down🚧Rant ahead! On this episode of the Millennial Street Podcast, Nassy and Kenny seem baffled by how people are quick to foretell the end of some musicians’ careers. Or perhaps, do the critics have a point. Black Sherif and the Kumerican gang are leading the recent pack of jaw-dropping new schoolers and Kenny believes they’re not just another wave, but are here to stay. Nassy probes this perspective. Here’s how it went down on the podcast.
Social media users have been showering praises on gospel artiste Diana Hamilton after she was crowned the Artiste of the Year at the 2021 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

What started as a mere petition to a mother has developed into a full-blown mobilisation point with many waiting patiently to see how it all unfolds at a school in Sakaman, Accra. For many who had their basic education in Ghana, the concept of 'Our Day' may not be farfetched as some carried their favourite foods and beverages along to commemorate the end of an academic term. In what is about to be one of the most sought-after celebrations of this conventional milestone, a Primary 3 pupil who sought to petition his mother about a list of items, is now the talk of the town. Corporate Ghana and individuals rose to the occasion and showered him with gifts together with his favourite teacher, Mrs Appiah. Social media has been reacting to this development including a donation that Oswald's family subsequently made later on the weekend. That's the topic for Kenny and Nassy's discussion on today's edition of the Millennial Street podcast. #OurDay #Oswald #MrsAppiah #MillennialStreetPodcast

Music enthusiasts have elected another budding messenger for the Ghana music scene. KooKusi is a burgeoning recording artiste who seems to be weaving through the socially-compelling path about life’s lessons through storytelling. The musician first went viral back in July 2021 with a freestyle. A year later, he released an extended play (EP) in February to give industry watchers more reason to consider him as one to watch. ‘5Foot3’ is his debut project which has received far-reaching applause since its release. The themes underpinning the 5-track EP span mental health, social media addiction, insecurity, self-confliction, and religion. It is a project of call-outs as podcast hosts, Kenny and Nassy delve dig in with the artiste in a Zoom conversation. #5Foot3 #MillennialStreet #Podcast #Ghana #KooKusi Ghana Podcasts
KiDi won his first-ever Artiste of the Year Award at the just-ended Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. He beat stiff competition from Black Sherif, King Promise, Kuami Eugene, Sarkodie and Joe Mettle to emerge winner. KiDi also swept away some of the biggest awards on the night especially with his hit song ‘Touch It’. But the event itself was considered by many as basic with very little wow factor, especially in the face of new competition from the 3Music Awards. With that being said, the enthusiasts invited onto this episode had varying reasons why they loved the 2-day show and what could have improved the whole makeup of the awards scheme. Gambo's despicable attempt to fondle a presenter, Black Sherif's 'Teletubbies' attire and Famaye's songwriter award are a few of the things discussed. Guests, Elvis Amponsah, Evans Konadu and Seth Tetteh Larbi. Host: Nasiba Yakubu and Kenneth Awotwe Darko #VGMA23 #MillennialStreetPodcast
