The Nima based hiplife group, VIP (Vision In Progress), made up of Abdul Hamidu Ibrahim (Lazzy), Emmanuel Ababio (Promzy) and Joseph Nana Ofori (Prodigal), have finally broken their silence after going on a hibernation period for well over two years. Speaking in an exclusive interview over the weekend on Peace FM�s �Entertainment Review� programme, the trio openly spoke about their jailed former Executive Producer and Manager, Isaac Abaidoo Aidoo, popularly known as Goodies. According to Prodigal a member of the trio, even-though Goodies is presently in prison, the relationship between them is still cordial. �Ghanaians should not judge Goodies because of just one crime he committed, because this could happen to anybody�. He added that, they visit him frequently to see how is coping and always encourages him not to lose hope. �He brought us to this level, so we will always be with him. People commit mistakes so we shouldn't judge him. Before you judge someone you have to consider the positive things he�s done. We cannot forget about Goodies, never!� Prodigal stressed passionately. Isaac Aidoo, the C. E.O of Goodies Music Production, was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport on April 23 2008, on suspicion of possessing narcotic drugs while going through departure formalities to board a flight to London, and was subsequently sentenced to 13 years after several court appearances for drug trafficking in November 2008. VIP who are currently out with a new single; titled; �I think I like Am� said Goodies still plays a very important part in their lives and their career, even though their new single was released on their own record label BDN Records and Managed by Paradise Entertainment. They disclosed on Peace FM�s �Entertainment Review� that the officially launch of their new album titled: �Progress� which has other hit tracks like �Away�, �Sharp Sharp� and �Obroni Wawu� is scheduled for February 13, 2010 at the Boomerang Night Club. �This is not just an ordinary album launch. This is where we are officially going to perform all the 17 songs on the album one after the other� �Lazzy� said. The hiplife trio, who described their kind of music as �classic hiplife� said they expect to hit the whole of Africa with their new album and even beyond the shores of where their previous album took them. When asked by the Host of the show, Kwasi Aboagye, why they are trying to imitate the Nigerian trend of music, Lazzy responded; �With us VIP, really we don�t copy Nigerian style. We have our own style and we are sticking to that. I think it is rather the Nigerians who are replicating us�. VIP has won several awards such as "Artiste of the Year", "Song of the Year", "Hiplife Artiste of the Year", "Hiplife Song of the Year" and "Hiplife Album of the Year" all in the 2004 "Ghana Music Awards".
