I know the effect and it dampens down the heat of many artistes,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;My Name&#8217; singer further noted that it will rather be fair if the media and other entertainment critics take the initiative to encourage artistes to do more to boost their career and the industry as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c&#8230;nobody has to even try to compare any artiste but rather, we have to encourage one another and acknowledge what each artiste has done. The strict comparison to see who has reached higher heights is not good&#8230;,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Bhim Nation CEO added that Ghanaian musicians and stakeholders should rather emulate how Nigerians have been able to develop their music rather than fighting them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;make we support ourselves. Make we copy the Nigerians..,&#8221; the artiste, born Livingstone Etse Satekla, said.<\/p>\n<p>Stonebwoy, who is preparing for his Bhim Nation concert, released his third studio album titled \u2018Epistles of Mama (EOM)\u2019 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Bhim Concert dubbed the \u2018EOM (Epistles of Mama) Album Release Edition\u2019 is set to take place again on December 22 at the Accra International Conference Centre.<\/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>Entertainment of Friday, 15 December 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-12-15 Dance hall artiste, Stonebwoy Reggae, Dancehall and Afrobeat artiste, Stonebwoy has urged the media to desist from comparing musicians in the Ghanaian music industry.
