Hip-Hop Summer: How Sarkodie, GAMBO & E.L. rejuvenating the genre in Ghana

Hip-hop, once popular in Ghana, faced decline due to criticism and radio station preferences for traditional genres.

However, artists Gambo, Sarkodie, and E.L. are reviving the genre with projects like Gambo’s *1MB EP*, Sarkodie’s *Championship Mixtape*, and E.L.’s *BAR 7*.

This resurgence is supported by social media and streaming platforms, which help Ghanaian hip-hop artists connect with fans and promote cultural and social change.
