The rest of the songs aren't exactly Hakpanya just me showing off that I could actually rap rap if I wanted to. The subject matter is still very serious stuff tho, more on the economic crisis, I touch on how the sea is swallowing my hometown and I talk about my spiritual journey

Song lyrics start with chants and incantations in both Ewe language and pidgin English and both my rap verses are dragging the Ghanaian government for their unbelievable corruption and thievery 💀💀💀

Agbadza is this energetic drum rhythmic pattern played by an ensemble of different drums and a bell, it is performed with an energetic dance that was historically performed right before wars to invoke a fighting spirit, now it is just a popular traditional dance we dance at any function

The beauty of this song to me is first in the production of the beat, we sampled an Agbadza performance and muted all the vocals and spun the percussions into hip-hop creating a sound that is uniquely both generes

So essentially all my sound is now is me creating hip-hop and alternative music by sampling from traditional Ewe poetry and music, beautiful stuff if you ask me

I'm Ghanaian from the Ewe Ethnic group, and our people spread across parts of Ghana into Togo and Benin. In our Language the word for poetry and song lyrics is one and that is Hakpanya, it translates to music making words.
