Since Zapp Mallet expressed his displeasure at a list of music producers that lumps him up with some latter-day producers, there have been talks about his contribution to the music industry.
Some millennials who don’t really know what he has done for the industry, have raised questions about songs he has produced.
Much of the blame cannot be put on these people because Zapp Mallet and his contemporaries did not put their signatures on the songs they produced.
With support from Dada Hafco, Rex Omar, Quophi Okyeame, DJ Ashmen and DJ Stanzy, Ghana Weekend has compiled a list of just 60 out of the many hit songs Zapp Mallet has produced since he stepped the threshold of the music industry in the 1980s.
