It\u2019s Sarkodie. Right now there is a lot of Nigerian talent because they have the numbers. There are so many talents here. There are so many vocal artistes here that need the marketing and platform. To visually see these artistes, it doesn\u2019t happen\u2026\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The rapper continued that, \u201cWe don\u2019t invest like Nigerians. Our videos are not up to scratch. Most of their videos have the international calibre. We don\u2019t spend much to push like the Nigerians\u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>D Black further urged the industry players to unite in promoting Ghanaian music videos onto popular entertainment channels across the sub-region.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cI think that is the way our music can be seen aside the internet. That step isn\u2019t there\u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>D black is currently promoting his new hit song featuring Bisa Kdei dubbed: \u2018Julie\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music of Friday, 3 November 2017 Source: adomonline.com 2017-11-03 D black is currently promoting his new hit song featuring Bisa Kdei dubbed: \u2018Julie\u2019 &#13;
