Ghanaian rapper and hip-life legend Kwaw Kese has boldly declared himself as the only hip-life artiste still fully active and successful in the genre.
Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM on Thursday October 9, the “Abodam” hitmaker emphasised his lasting influence on Ghana’s music scene, asserting that he and others from his era helped shape the industry into what it is today.
“We helped shape this industry. Like, I am the only hip-life musician alive right now doing great and still doing it,” he stated.
Kwaw Kese expressed disappointment that many of his colleagues have moved away from hip-life, opting instead to chase the growing Afrobeats wave.
“These hip-life musicians, they don’t do it anymore. Most of them have turned from doing hip-life to singing, trying to do their Afrobeat — and I still do my thing, hip-life, hundred percent,” he added.
The rapper, known for his energetic performances and street credibility, has been one of the consistent figures in Ghana’s hip-life movement since the early 2000s, and his remarks reignite discussions about the evolution and future of the genre.
