Run Up features Larruso on new Dancehall jam “Wilding” – LISTEN
Run Up has set the ball rolling with a major step with the release of his latest Dancehall Jam titled “Wilding”. Tapping into the Gen Z energies, he recruits Larruso for this new jam produced by CaskeysOnit. The song is out on all music platforms.
“Wilding” is a motivational Dancehall Song by Run Up and is tipped to swiftly take over the streets among the ghetto youths to whom the song is directed. In the song, Run Up urges the youth not to give up and ‘keep striving’ till the bread fills the basket. Larruso also came on with his critically inclined lyrics along same storyline.
Listen Here: https://ffm.to/rpberyp
The new generation of Dancehallers seem to have a different and a suave direction for the Culture with their choice of riddims and lyrics; award-winning Ghanaian Producer, CaskeysOnit connected well with both young chaps and delivered the appropriate beat composition to complement their melodies and thought-process.
About Run Up:
Born Felix Odei Tinkorang, but known to the world as Run Up. This Reggae/Dancehall/Afro Dancehall artiste boasts of numerous talents with his versatility across various music disciplines. Raised in Zeetown (Sabon Zongo) and having lived most of his life in Kaneshie, it was in Kaneshie that he discovered his passion for music and began honing it.
As a child, Run Up was heavily influenced by his father, who played a variety of music genres including Reggae, Highlife, and Hiplife. This early exposure fostered his love for music. During his adolescence, Run Up became captivated by Stonebwoy’s music, idolizing him to the extent of sampling Stonebwoy’s beats for school performances. Around this time, he also met Wanga Lee, an artiste who taught him more about dancehall music. Their relationship between Run Up and Wanga Lee was akin to Vybz Kartel and Popcaan’s music relationship.
Run Up’s latest track, “WILDING,” is an inspirational piece encouraging the youth to relentlessly strive for a better life, laying a strong foundation for themselves and their future generations.
Anticipate his upcoming EP with Million Stylez, set to be released soon. Run Up is here to achieve great things. Watch out!

Menace of illegal drug usage in Zongo areas in Accra, Ghana
Meaning of the word Zongo:
Zongo is a Hausa term, meaning the temporary camping place of a carrier or a lodging place of travellers. Zongo are mostly migrant communities in urban areas dominated by people of Northern Ghana and the Sahel region of Africa and mostly traders.
Ghana has its own Ministry of Inner-City & Zongo Development (MICZD). The Goals are to empower
the indigene communities through a Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Development. With the fight against poverty, disease and illiteracy the Ministry is responding to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 11) “making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”.
Aminu Initiative and Zongo:
The picture below is showing some typical inner-city and Zongo scenes in Nima-Accra.
This is where our founder and chairman Amin Zaaki was born and raised. It’s where our Aminu Initiative has been active together with our Ghanaian partners for so many years.
Likewise the MICZD is responding to global and local development goals, we are responding by empowering less privileged children from the Zongo areas through education and furthermore taking care of their health.
The Covid-19 crisis put the Zongo areas in an even worse position, as many people cannot afford to pay the skyrocketed prices for foodstuffs gain. Therefore our Aminu Initiative is currently providing food to the kids and families in our programs in order to reduce the burden on them.
An essay by our Junior Program Student Zeinab Lavielle Ibrahim about drug abuse in Nima and other Zongo areas
We live in an era where drugs have captured the headlines. Youth have taken to the neglect and have abandoned their duties. What is the reason one may ask? They have taken the habit of using drugs. Who says the use of drugs is wrong? Not at all, but why it’s illegal intake? I don’t think anyone would love to put one’s self in harm’s way. Why illegal drug abuse?
According to the “Collins English Dictionary”; Drug is a chemical which is given to people in order to treat an illness. From the above definition, what’s illegal in taking drugs? Unfortunately, people take in drugs due to its pleasant effects on illegal drugs. The Zongo community can boast of few students, Truthful Islamic scholars and from my research, one Muslim female Doctor; but why the high rate of drug users? Between the ages of 10 and 25 is now a cycle of illegal drug usage. Sadly they find pleasure in it thereby, not realising its harmful and deadly effects. Cocaine, Heroin, Marijuana, etc. are still used in Zongo, despite Pharmaceutical Drugs such as Codeine, Benylin and Tramadol are popular drugs and used on highly illegal grounds by the “Zongo” Youth. Codeine and Benylin are mixed with energy drinks and taken. Also, Tramadol, available as injection and sold under the brand name Ultram, zytram, diazepam, paracetamol and morphine.
Fatal side effects can occur if one uses Tramadol with alcohol and can cause slow breathing leading to deadly attacks. Peer pressure and curiosity used to be the major causes of Drug Intake. Personally, the above mentioned are not the causes anymore. In our Zongo community now, most drug users can’t give cogent reasons for abusing drugs. I must say, there is no justification in abusing drugs. The youth are not ignorant about the harmful effects of illegal drug usage instead; they just abuse it to satisfy their desires. A shame indeed! Nima, Fadama, Maamobi, Newtown, Madina and Ashaiman can boast of teen and elderly drug users. We can’t boast of white-collar workers, technically skilled persons and even entrepreneurs. One may say we can but countable.
To the individual, illegal drug intake may cause serious health problems. On the society, very horrific, including crime and depleted resources. To the country, illegal drug usage hinders future development on the basis. They taking drugs illegally shatters their creativity skills needed for a future progress. Government also spends huge revenue in their rehabilitation. To the streets of Nima, many young people are suffering from mental disorders which are a result of illegal drug intake. Intensive health-walks, strict government laws, opinions from religious Heads, etc., suggest ways in curbing drug intake in our community. Illegal Drug intake is claiming the lives of our youth; let’s not give chances in driving it away. Let’s take a bi-partisan method in eradicating illegal drug usage in our Zongo. I vividly believe we can do better and unearth the creativity in our youth.
Say no to illegal drug usage. Zongo must change!
GIRLS AGAINST DRUG ABUSE (GADA)
Our Junior Program student Zeinab Lavielle Ibrahim is the founder and leader of Girls Against Drug Abuse (GADA).
It’s a team of Young Nima Girls who seek to aid in curbing the alarming situation of Illegal drug usage and control rising situations among the Zongo Youth . It was formed on January 30, 2020 by Lavielle and her Colleagues.
Below are the main goals of GADA:
To educate youngsters in schools (Islamic and Western) on Illegal drug usage and its deadly effects.
To educate the General Public, NB: Zongo Community on the importance of Life and the need to kick off Illegal drug usage.
Compile a Drug Abuse Documentary
Finally, annual public Lecture in the Zongo community and gradually Control the habit of Drug Abuse in our Zongo Community.
GADA Slogan: Let’s Save Zongo Now!
On 26th June 2020 they organised an event to mark the International Day against Drug Abuse. Due to the pandemic, they discussed a lot on how to go about the drug abuse situation in their Zongo especially in Nima. Due to Covid-19 they did everything online.
