The four finalists of Hip Hop reality show Next Big Thing in GH were presented with their prizes on E-Talk, an entertainment talk show on GH One. They include Strongman, Magnificent, Tee-Phlow and Bebelino.

The winner, Strongman, took home a GH¢5000 cash prize, a 46-inch LG LCD Plasma TV, and the chance to perform on every show that will be organised by GH One entertainment television. The first runner-up, Tee-Phlow, also received a 32-inch LG LCD Plasma TV and a huge home theatre.

The second runner-up won a 32-inch LCD Plasma TV while the fourth winner received a home theatre from the main sponsors, Somovision.

Last year, the search for the Next Big Thing in GH Hip Hop, a talent reality TV show, which was organised by GH One to unearth underground hip hop emcees, saw many talented young men audition for the show.

After weeks of auditioning, only twelve underground emcees qualified to contest for the title “The Next Big Thing in GH Hip Hop.”

The twelve emcees went through grooming and weekly performances and in the end only four emcees made it to the grand finale: Strongman, Magnificent, Tee-Phlow and Bebelino.

The grand finale, which came off at the Osu Oxford Street, saw a large crowd gathered in front of Frankies Restaurant to witness the making of the Next Big Thing in GH Hip Hop.

It was a keenly contested competition and after rounds of battling each other, Strongman who was the pubic’s favorite, emerged the winner.

The maiden edition of the show was a good one; however, this year’s edition promises to be bigger and better.
