Musician Okyeame Kwame has acknowledged the prowess of current Ghanaian rappers, saying they are much better than those of his era. Speaking to Joy Prime‘s Ibrahim Ben-Bako, Okyeame Kwame said rappers of today are forced to be more creative, exciting and entertaining because of the competition they face.
“When we started rap, there were just a few rappers – Bright of Buk Bak, Exdoe, Chicago, Reggie Rockstone, VIP and Obrafour. We were just a few. Now, everyone knows how to rap and the world has become so small through the internet,” Okyeame Kwame said. The ‘rap dacta’ made his statement at the Grand Cassamora hotel at Adjiriganor where he had gone to support rapper Kwame Yogot.
He stated that “these guys are standing on the shoulders of giants like Reggie Rockstone, Lord Kenya; what people don’t know is these young rappers are way better than us. Kwame Yogot and the rest – they are much much better than us.”
