Renowned Hiplife artiste, Okyeame Kwame has expressed his interest in winning the coveted Ghana Music Awards’ Artiste of the year for the second time.
The rapper last won the award 15 years ago in 2009. The musician who is in his late 40s has been in the industry for 26 years having won numerous awards to his name.
Despite being in the music industry for long, the rapper has still been working hard with his recent song ‘Insha Allah’ featuring King Paluta earning a nomination in this year’s Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
The song earned him a nod in the Hiplife Song of the Year category, and he comes up strongly against younger acts such as King Paluta, Jay Bahd and Oseikrom Sikani, among others.
The Rap Dacta as he is popularly known told Graphic Showbiz in an interview that he is rather working hard to, once again, grab the covetous award in the industry, Artiste of the Year for the second time.
“It feels really great to be nominated even in my 26th year in music and that tells me that people appreciate what I’m doing. That is not to say that I would have been bothered if I missed out but it encourages me to do more.
“Besides, it is the more reason why I’m working hard to win the ultimate Artiste of the Year award again. It’s a must for me so I need to change the narrative by dropping a massive album, hopefully this year. I will put in more work to achieve the goal,” he said.
