Go get a degree and come back,\u201d he retorted when his opinion was sought on comments that his music career fortunes had plummeted.<\/p>\n<p>He also added that at the moment there is no hit song in the system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven while at school when I thought I was on break, I didn\u2019t see anything significant change in the space and I am back. There is no hit song in the space. Who? When? No hit song can beat just \u2018My Own\u2019 right now,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>When the host, Berla Mundi mentioned Camidoh and Black Sherif were making strides on the international scene, Samini replied that he was making comparison to Shatta Wale, Sarkodie and Stonebwoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He, however, commended Stonebwoy for his \u20185th Dimension\u2019 album.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong and don\u2019t take my message wrongly. We are taking four the four S\u2019s [Shatta Wale, Samini, Stonebwoy and Sarkodie]. There is no banger. Big ups to Stonebwoy for his new project. \u20185th Dimension\u2019 is a great project. I like \u2018Into the Future.\u2019 It\u2019s a hit.<\/p>\n<p>So among the four S\u2019s, the only one that has dropped something is Stonebwoy who is coming from my school,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Samini who has been in the music industry for 20 years has released hit songs including \u2018Linda\u2019, \u2018My Own\u2019, \u2018Obaa\u2019, \u2018\u2019, \u2018Di Wo Line Mu\u2019, among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He has also won both local international awards from Ghana  Awards, MOBO Awards, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Samini recently graduated with a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Project Management from\u00a0Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration\u00a0(GIMPA).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was the President of the Students Representative Council (SRC) during his final year at the school.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghanaian reggae\/dancehall musician, Samini, has refuted claims that his career has taken a nosedive.\u00a0 He told TV3 in an interview that even after he took a break from active music to pursue higher education, nothing significant happened in the music industry.\u00a0 \u201cWhat?
