Ghanaian musician, rapper and record producer Kwame Ametepee Tsikata, known professionally as M.anifest, says rap music in the Ghanaian music industry has a promising future and has the potential to shatter down barriers and take the world by storm.
Young rap musicians, in his opinion, have demonstrated extraordinary talent that can set the tone for action.
The Someway Bi rapper said he was very pleased with how promising the future of rap music in Ghana appeared to be, stressing that the country has a large pool of talented individuals who, when given the right environment and opportunities, could achieve outstanding success on both local and international levels.
In his opinion, all that was needed for them to become unbeatable competitors who will confront the rest of the globe was the maximum amount of support and excitement, both of which were lacking in the Ghanaian music industry.
“Are there rappers that are coming up? Definitely, and some of them are scary good. I think the new era of rappers are going to be better than us because they have interacted with the globe in a different way.
“And also, just as we have been fortunate to build off the shoulders of the Obrafours and the likes, I think there is going to be a new crop of rappers who are going to be out of this world. I mean, look at Black Sherif, are you kidding? That is a rapper with a melody, and they are taking it to the next level,” M.anifest told Graphic Showbiz in an interview
