While living in Ghana, West Africa last year, I spent most of my time chasing around rappers, producers, engineers, fans, DJs, and anyone else involved in the local hip-hop movement. Clutching a DV camcorder and microphone, I pounded the pavement of Accra, Ghana's sprawling capital, from top to bottom reaching out to a huge variety of participants in this vital, evolving complex. The culmination of a unique combination of factors (eg socio-economic, politico-historic, and technological advances), hiplife represents the next step in both the development of African popular expression and a more than 400-year diasporic dialogue.
