“To me what really makes an artist is researching to be able to give your fans variety of music and that is why Kojo Antwi releases highlife today and reggae tomorrow because Ghanaians gets fed up with one stuff, however, picking a vibe from Kojo Antwi, Daddy Lumba and Malian artist enriches the song and gives the song a Malian feel as well as Ghanaian feel.”
“But at the end of the day, the song is a highlife song and that is why I credited them by writing highlife music to the world,” Kuame Euegen Concluded.
