If indeed the popular parlance “the best comes from the West” is true, then the best is not yet in Ghana Music since the Industry is dominated by the Greater Accra residents. Ghana Music though has had a stop in the Western Region before, it’s nestle is not in Western anymore.

Musically, names of talents the Oil City can boast of can fill the whole space if this reporter dares to mention. But for the sake of proves, a few can be mentioned; Adez, Sketches Ayiseem, Kofi Kinaata, Consainor, Blaq Out, Nero X, BB da boy Wonder, Atsu Koliko etc.
