The likes of Castro, Dasebre Gyamena were more or less celebrated on the night as their contributions were made known to the public in a form of a documentary and yes, the story of Hiplife was told by the legendary Mark Okraku-Mantey.
Samini, Stonebwoy, Rev Osei Kofi, Slim Busterr, Duke of D2, others performed on the night.
Freddie Annan and Gyedu Blay-Ambulley were given lifetime achievement award on the night.
Few reservations though, the show lacked star quality; lots of the award-winners were absent, co-ordination between the Mcs very terrible, sound was bad, the playback not playing and more
