“Ghanaian DJs deserve their flowers” –Lasmid

Musician Lasmid has urged for greater appreciation of DJs and their role in promoting Ghanaian music. In an X post, he expressed that while DJs' contribution to music promotion is invaluable, insufficient recognition has been given. Reflecting on his own experiences, Lasmid recalled how DJs inspired him and shaped his career. He acknowledged that at times, the value of their contributions might be underestimated.

Lasmid did not point fingers but called for a conversation to honor Ghanaian DJs. He emphasized the importance of DJs in the Ghanaian music scene and their continued significance. This plea comes as some suggest the impact of traditional media and Ghanaian DJs has diminished. With the rise of new media platforms and influencers, some argue they now have a more potent influence in promoting Ghanaian music.

The Guinness Ghana DJ Awards, organized by Merqury Republic, has been annually recognizing DJs' contributions for the past ten years. Lasmid's plea was initially shared on The Ghanaian Chronicle.
