Some forums have hinted that Richie\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s beat are over- sampled and most of them sound the same but the \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153hit maker\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 has always defended his style, and continues to front the emerging sound that is loved by many Ghanaian youths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Last weekend, at the Stars of the Future season 4 finale, it was a bit of tough love for the young producer when Judges Kik Banson and Zapp Mallet sort to imply that his productions lack maturity. Richie produced the beats for a song composed by Christian, one of the contestants. The highlife track was well written and sounded real good but lacked some basic elements of proper highlife music; in particular was the missing acoustics in the accompanying beat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The judges were quick to voice their opinions on the track. Zapp said he wished there was more acoustics in the sound and Kiki said he wished the production was a bit more matured.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-242098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
