L’Entourloop return to the UK for three huge shows this week!
After selling out their first UK tour last October 2024, Hip-hop inna yardie style (old school fusion between reggae and hip-hop) collective L’Entourloop are coming back to the UK with a bigger and much powerful show, visiting stages in Manchester, Bristol and London this November.
Since 1964, when the song “My Boy Lollipop” flooded the European radio airwaves, L’Entourloop’s love for reggae and its culture has never stopped growing. The success of their albums “La clarté dans la confusion” (2022), “Le Savoir Faire” (2017) and “Chickens in Your Town” (2015) with their famous “Banging Hip-Hop Inna Yardie Style” quickly brought L’Entourloop into the spotlight, along with their hundreds of shows performed all over Europe. The mysterious collective continues to bring together an ever-growing audience around the world, as proved by their hundreds of millions of plays on music platforms.
Another striking characteristic of L’Entourloop is the great ability of King James and Sir Johnny to gather incredible guests from around the world. Whether with Skarra Mucci and their now gold certified classic “Dreader Than Dread” or their excellent EP “Golden Nuggets” (2019), Capleton for the extravagant remix of “Burn Dem Down”, producer Panda Dub they collaborated with on “Le Bonheur” or French singer Biga Ranx for their hit “Push The Limits”, L’Entourloop has the gift of giving birth to collaborations that mark the spirits. With no less than 32 guests from all over the world, MCs fling lyrics like guns like in a western movie and the new album is no exception!
On the reggae side, Jamaican legends such as Ken Boothe and Bounty Killer meet new generation stars such as Alborosie, Kabaka Pyramid, Queen Omega and Marcus Gad. On the hip-hop side Chali 2Na from legendary US group Jurassic 5, Swedish MC Promoe from Looptroop Rockers, US rapper Rêverie, the excellent JuJu Rogers, French beatmaker Degiheugi and the irresistible South African female rapper Dope St Jude all make appearances. The UK vibe can also be felt with features from jungle and dancehall pioneers General Levy and Tippa Irie as well as heavyweights of the grime scene Flowdan, Lady Chann and Killa P. Fellow French artists are also in the spotlight with guests such as Big Red, O.B.F and Manudigital.
For the string of 2025 UK live dates, L’Entourloop will be joined on stage by regular collaborators MCs Troy Berkley & Blabbermouf, trumpeter N’Zeng as well as Brazilian singer Flavia Coelho as a special guest. The UK dates will lead up to L’Entourloop’s final show of the year on Nov 29th at Adidas Arena in Paris.

11th November- Band On The Wall, Manchester.
12th November- Electric Bristol, Bristol.

From 46th to 3rd: Asokwa Municipal Assembly’s Remarkable Rise in Financial Governance
A year can make a remarkable difference, and for the Asokwa Municipal Assembly, it has changed everything.
After placing 46th in 2024, the Assembly has surged to an impressive 3rd position in Ghana’s 2025 Public Financial Management Compliance League Table, earning national recognition for its commitment to transparency, accountability and responsible financial management.
The Public Financial Management Compliance League Table, supported by the European Union and coordinated by the Centre for Local Governance Advocacy (CLGA), assesses all 261 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies across the country. It measures how effectively assemblies manage public funds through budgeting, procurement, revenue generation and financial reporting.
Asokwa’s score of 92.00% placed it among the very best in Ghana, with only Bia East District Assembly and Nkwanta South Municipal Assembly ranking ahead. The performance stands well above the national average of 56.20%, underlining the municipality’s exceptional progress.

Behind this success is a deliberate commitment to strengthening financial discipline. Under the leadership of Municipal Chief Executive Hon. Amoh Kamel, the Assembly has embraced reforms aimed at improving compliance with financial regulations and ensuring greater accountability in the use of public resources.
The national recognition was formally presented during an awards ceremony, where Hon. Gladys G.N. Tetteh, Deputy Executive Director of CLGA, presented the Assembly with an award acknowledging its outstanding performance. The citation commended Asokwa’s efforts in improving public financial management and maintaining compliance throughout the financial management process.
The Assembly’s remarkable improvement demonstrates what focused leadership, teamwork and dedication to good governance can achieve. Rising 43 places within a single year is a significant accomplishment that reflects consistency, careful planning and efficient execution.
Asokwa’s latest achievement not only brings pride to the municipality but also serves as a benchmark for other local assemblies striving to improve governance and accountability.
As the municipality celebrates this milestone, attention now turns to sustaining these standards and pursuing an even greater achievement in the years ahead.
