As part of Africa Lives on the BBC, Ras Kwame broadcast three live shows from Ghana. It was a bit of a homecoming for Ras who spent his teens growing up there.
As well as reflecting the life and culture of one of the most vibrant countries in Africa, the shows take a look at its different musical traditions including High Life, and its hip-hop influenced successor, Hip Life.
Taking the trip with Ras Kwame and his crew was one of the UK's hottest rappers, Sway. We hooked him up with musicians in Ghana. Listen again to see what happens when UK hip-hop meets African beats.
