Paedae, one half of the multiple award winning hiplife duo, R2bees, has vented his spleen on the Ghana music industry describing it as lacking common sense.
Faisal Hakeem, as he is called in real life, took to twitter to pour out his frustration calling for better remuneration, effective institution for revenue collection and a working structure to support and promote Ghanaian music to reach its deserving heights.
He likened the music industry to the Black Stars without a Ghana Football Association (GFA) and pointed out that what the industry lacks is common sense as people with “big brains” rather than “common sense” have been employed to manage the industry.

What we lack in the industry is common sense. We've employed ppl with big brains but not common sense
