Influences: God. My Mother. Entertainers from all around the world. African artists such as Amakye Dede, Akwasi Ampofo Adjei, Daddy Lumba, Nana Kwame Ampadu, Pat Thomas, Papa Yankson, etc... These are all HI-Life artists that started a very strong movement in Ghana, West Africa. I was also strongly influenced by North American artists such as 9, Method Man, BIG, Mr. Tupac Shakur, DMX, Jay-Z, Baby Face, Luther Vandross, Rich Money, Dwayne Wayans and a million other signed and underground artists.
Ghana is 50 years and we are not stopping. USA... New York, New York...
March 6th, 2007 was a beautiful night. The weather was not as pleasant but the love that people showed us was more than enough to warm the place. First I, NANA on the behalf of my crew will like to thank everybody who showed up and represented. People told me several times that deciding to do the show on a tuesday night was a turn off. And that "knowing Ghanaian people", i should be happy if 20 people shows up. We work, we are in school, my baby is sick, my car broke down, there was a fire right around the corner of my house, whatever your excuse was that kept you from not making it on the night is your business. Hashim, DJ 14k, DJ Solo, Kwadwo Owusu, and everybody else who held it down behind the scenes helped out a great deal. Carlos, Orlando, and the man behind the camera Mr. Steve Garay showed up. They didn't have to be there, but they came out and represented for Ghana even though they are not Africans.
2007 has been fun for me. I have experienced a lot of things that if it was back in the late 90's or early 2000's, i would have been reluctant to. Setting it off was my video shoot. Close Circle Cinema produced and directed it. (You Already know Steve!!! O'Nana, O'Nana... Being a ghanaian young man representing Ghana, i had to take my ass back. Since december,1992 this was actually my first time going back. April 10, 2007 i'm out on the Accra Streets. They let a MONSTER out.... "APai"... "Nana Boateng, coming live from Achimota"... I met a couple of my old friends, Nii Adu(Richard), a freelancer journalist who have done work for ghanaian radio stations such as the very popular Accra station's, Peace FM. Had a great time. He introduced me to this guy Mufty, and from there i just started working. A couple friends old and new, helped made it a wonderful experience. America got ghettos but i'm a ghetto boy who grew up in an upscale ghetto over seas. Going back and seeing ACHIMOTA and ALOGBOSHIE , made 2 thousand and 7 and beautiful year. Choppa from Extra Sounds took me to places, met with me and introduced me to a lot of entertainers including undergrounds musicians i have heard about in the U.S prior to this trip. The radio stations opened up to me and gave me interviews. Stations from Accra to Kwahu... Dj Kwame -LIFE FM, Dj Abochie-LIFE FM, Dj Cyfa Sounds-OBUABA FM,. Dr. Karl-RADIO UNIVERSE, and DJ QDLocks from VIBE FM showed me a lot of love. Ghana was supposed to be a vacation, to get sleep, eat and spend a lot of time in the house with my family. Face a.k.a Mr. Ke Ke, was always around to witness the BULLSHIT side that we face. He always was willing to make it less stressful. JUNIOR, SPOOKY, K.K, POZO Obosheba THE ENTREPRENEUR, KWADWO, BROTHER, SLYDE, NII, KRANTENG, SPONSOR, BONE, MR. DANIEL ADJEI Hush Hush Recording Studio, KING CYRUS, MIKE EFFECT, you get the picture. A whole lot of people that for only God reasons, were or should i say, are now a part of my life. I loved Ghana. I love Achimota and i can't wait to go back.
