Ghana, being a part of the Commonwealth, has given its citizens the opportunity to be part of the growing cultural exchange market, as the United Kingdom provides young Ghanaian entertainers the opportunity to exhibit their talents, mostly during summer, through multiple programmes to promote the Commonwealth exchange agenda.

One of the groups spearheading the above agenda is the UK-based Akwaaba UK, which has over the years been instrumental in organising beauty pageants, Independence and Republic Day shows, private parties, charity events, and more.

Dr. Cryme is Ghana's current most sought after celebrity, and who won same during the recently held High School Honours in Accra Ghana.

The E-Jam Records artiste had one of the highest RBT downloads via his 'Kill Me Shy' single from his 'Finally Finally' album to be launched in Ghana on November 4th as part of the album festival.

Ghanaian nationals in the UK were most impressed with Akwaaba UK's choice to invite Dr. Cryme to this year's Miss Ghana UK, which was held at Troxy, London, in the UK, though he should have been there for shows earlier that week.

Dzifa Gray is the founder, producer and director of the Titi Gray Talk Show on BEN TV (Sky Channel 184), airing every Saturday at 7:00 p.m. The first pilot was in March 2009, during Ghana's 52nd Independence celebration.

The programme has been very instrumental in awarding entertainers around the world for innovation through bringing up new genres, and also general support to the society through the adequate preservation of the African culture.

One of the main reasons that might have boosted Dr. Cryme's win was his immense support to society, through socially active projects like donations to hospitals, and the general education of peers.

His 'Twipop' genre is currently global, and has been very instrumental in creating a new music hub in Tema.

Tema forms a conurbation with Accra, and is a planned city in the center of the world. Dr. Cryme a.k.a 'Tema Eminem' a.k.a. 'The General,' couldn't mince words but had to show appreciation to everyone for making a dream come true.

He added that he had received two plaques and two awards without losing out on any nominations due him, prior to his album launch, which is an impressive start, and indicates immense support from fans.

So far, D'Banj, Shirley Frimpong Manso and Dr. Cryme are the only Africans to have received the award.
