Hip life is a fusion of two styles of music, Ghanaian highlife and American hip hop. The style is most popular in Ghana, especially the capital city of Accra, and among Ghanaians and other West Africans abroad, especially the United Kingdom, United States, Netherlands and Germany. The history of Ghanaian hip hop goes back to the 1980s, when performers like K. K. Kabobo and Gyedu Blay Ambolley found a small audience. Highlife influences grew more pronounced in the early 1990s, as hip hop became more popular in Africa. Among the most popular hip life musicians are Tic Tac and the three person Vision in Progress (VIP). Since the rise of these popular musicians, hip life has grown steadily more popular abroad, especially in London, where African nightclubs have helped to popularize the genre.
