Shegah bounces back with new single, ‘Cool Chop’
Singer Shegah, the member of Ghana’s first female Hiplife group, has announced her return to mainstream music with the release of a new single titled ‘Cool Chop’.
Shegah, known in real life as Mildred Mark-Hansen, is currently signed to Magic Records, under which label she has released the new Afrobeat record which taps into the trendy Amapiano sound titled ‘Cool Chop’, produced by Abochi.
The talented singer Shegah, doubles as a ragga artiste and is a founding member of Hiplife group, Triple M, which released hits including Koti, Girls Girls, and ‘Mon titi ndi’, as well as an official song for the Ghana Black Queens football team.

Prior to that, she had released an album titled My Time, which featured hit songs such as ‘Zinzima’, ‘Odo’ and ‘So Much Love’, featuring King Ayisoba, and “Odo”, under Magic Records.
In 2015, Shegah resurfaced with reggae and dancehall bangers such as “Let’s Go” featuring Rashid Metal, “Marking Time,” BAAWASA, PARTY FIRE collaboration with Flawless Snypa (Jamaica), and SURVIVAL under her own Boss Chick Entertainment and Team Styla banners.
She has been the Greater Accra Regional secretary for the Musician Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) for about eleven years.
