What music did mom and pops have you listening to growing up?

[Ohene]

My dad hates rap (mom likes it) so growing up he'd either bump some ghanaian shyt or soul, soft rock/pop classics on the radio/in the crib.

Couple of my favourites below:





That Lionel Richie is one of those songs you dont hear too much but everytime you hear...cant help but smile

We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!

Dont even get me started on that Smokey Robinson man Even the Gweneth Paltrow one was absolute fire and the CNN - Capone Bone use of the sample.

so many...i gotta channel my memory
