Interview with Blakk Rasta Part 1

Recently I got the opportunity to sit and talk with number one hit Ghanian reggae artist Blakk Rasta at Joy FM Radio in Accra, Ghana. His hit song "Barack Obama" has been killing the charts and was number one not only in Ghana but 10 other African countries. I spoke with him about his song, the President, Rasta culture, and what it feels like to have a number one hit. This is part one of our discussion, enjoy.   

 

Journey to Cape Coast Castle in Ghana

This is a video of my journey to Cape Coast Castle in Ghana. Cape Coast Castle was once the largest supplier of African slaves in all of West Africa. This is a very deep video, so be prepared to see some heavy stuff. Also I apologize but the tour guide's accent is a little hard to follow sometimes but try to follow along there is very valuable information to be learned here. I wanted to share this with you all to get a better since of black history and world history.
