TH 4 Kwages

It’s that time of the year again, and it may seem that on some divine prompting most of our musicians are beefing up their arsenals for an industry showdown. With the likes of Buk-Bak, Daasebre Dwamena, Batman, Kwadee, Tinny, Obrafour and many more striving for the music industry. TH4 Kwages may well have a laid low but a good review of their five-promo tracks has given me good grounds to dispel any doubts their abilities.

From a good assembly of top sound engineers to a command vocal output the group is certainly going to give music pundits something to chew on.

The album opens with the very inviting “Me Ye Aware”. Everything about “Me Ye Aware” (I’m Aware) smells well and good of Kwages from the indigenous JQ instrumentation to the don’t stop my-flow lyricism of TH4 Kwages this track is reminiscent of the West Coast flavor that has warmed the cockles of the group’s fans since their debut appearance. While it may seem that other artistes have beaten TH4 Kwages to the studio with the ‘I’m Aware Scenario’, the trio’s vocal delivery and jocular lyricism still gives a certain uniqueness to the total output. This has caused some controversies between boys boys and girls girls at the nation’s universities and other places.

“Wongye” (You Can’t Take This) is the title track of the album, and understandable so! In what has become a 'sine qua non' on many hiplife albums, “Wongye” is TH4 Kwages dabbling in some narcissism. In a true rappers’ ego puts a big hype on their music, their flex, their West Coast roots and lot more. Though it's a track that will induce the footwork from under you, the track also score well on production and makes good listening on Sunday Omo Tuo session.

“Ansaba” is easily my favourite on the album. A danceable beat plus a good theme equals? Vintage TH4 Kwages! A lovesick trio beckons a Nubian Ansaba for midnight rendezvous in a village hideout. A theme that easily encapsulates all that is forbidden in youthful romance. This track comes quickly recommended for the nightclubs and Saturday night radio jams.

Award-winning Jay Q defines his own version of slow tempo dance with an unrecognizable beat on “Me Nu Me Ho”. While the theme for this song may sound quite cliché, TH4 Kwages still manage to use their endearing vocal delivery to make this tune as easy on the ears tracks. The gunshots in the track are entirely attractive and unmistakable creativity of Jay Q on this track’s instrumentation scores major thumbs up for the track. “Me Nu Me Ho” also qualifies for good living room listening as well as inducing the foot work from under you.

There is a mix of good hip hop beat with African rhythm on “Sika”, and once again, the tight flow of the trio is undisputedly appealing. It is surprising how the group manages to create a dance theme around the trite scenario of ‘money wahala’ characteristics of a bad economy such ours. This track has the good punch that will kick others songs off the charts; it will certainly be appreciated at any ‘boys boys sitting’.

Watch out for the review of the full album. This is just a byte at a time. who’s calling Bluff now? “”This trip is to your jaw”. Are you ready now!!! If you wanna personal know about their album call their manager on 233 24 4686 589.

People are still wondering where these Takoradi boys have hibernated to. Trust Ghana Music.Com to bring the latest from the boys when any news comes up from their camp.
