Hammer killed the soul of the hip-life genre, in my opinion. – Mr. Logic [Video]

Mr. Logic, a Hitz FM analyst and manager of Ghanaian artists, has taken issue with music producer Hammer, blaming him for the downfall of the once-thriving hip-life genre in Ghana following his exit from the business.

During a segment on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Mr. Logic voiced his dissatisfaction with the present status of hip-life and linked it to Hammer’s departure. He claimed that Hammer did not respect the legacy of the genre, creating a hole.

He argued that Hammer fell short in maintaining the tradition of the genre, creating an unfilled hole.

“We have a leadership issue. It’s critical that Okyeame Kwame admitted when they made mistakes. Though he left a generation behind, Hammer has my admiration. Mr. Logic said, “If we are discussing why Hip Life is irrelevant and they don’t have a category on the internet stores, promote it and they will find a place for it.

According to him, Hammer had a significant influence on the careers of well-known musicians like Kwaw Kese, Tinny, Edem, Sarkodie, and TeePhlow.

Mr. Logic lauded Hammer for his ability to bring new trends in instrumentation and culture to hip-hop, hence modernizing the genre.

But he claimed that if Hammer had remained a major figure in hip-life, a lot more talents would have been developed.

“When Hammer and co. said they were going to sell bread and resigned, people lost interest in hip-life. After starting a movement, why don’t you go sell bread?” He lost it.

Mr. Logic also brought up the effect that Hammer’s exit would have had on the next artists who might not have had the chance to collaborate with the powerful producer.

“Hip Life disappeared. He introduced a certain culture and instrumentation trend. That’s Obrafour doing highlife music and Sarkodie rapping hip-hop. Hip-hop was modernized by Hammer, who one day departs. What about the younger generation who desired to collaborate with him? Mr. Logic asked.

However, Mr. Logic argued that the genre had room to flourish and gain international reputation.

He went on to say that genres like “Asakaa Drill” may have been recognized at major events like the Grammy Awards if Hammer had persisted.
