Bloggers’ Forum: Shatta Wale’s State of the Industry Address scrutinised

Shatta Wale’s 10-minutes State of the Industry Address is up for discussion in this edition of Bloggers’ Forum.

The Dancehall musician held his first address after his return from abroad where he talked about some things bothering the development of the music industry.

According to Shatta, during his stay in the United States, he pondered why Ghana does not have a unique genre which he finds it baffling.
