Ours is different from Western hip-hop, because it involves our local languages like Twi, Ga, Ewe, Hausa, pidgin, among others.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not only about our culture, but the future as well. For us at YFM<\/em>, rap has limitless opportunities for Ghanaian youth interested in the genre, and we promise to be there through it all,\u2019\u2019 he assured.<\/p>\n To stand a chance of winning GH\u00a210,000, register by visiting www.yfmghana.com,<\/em> and click on the \u2018Rapture\u2019 artwork.
