Talent is not talent when its not well nursed,this young and talented guys have been amazingly hard working and over the years been the Midas’ of the music industry.
Some names have been trending a lot in the Ghana music industry but among them are four acts whose names are attached to almost every trending song, released in the last three years.
For these artistes, every song they release, every single they feature on and every show they play turns to gold or is gold, which is it?
You know them, I know them, everybody knows them and almost every artiste wants a collaboration with them, ladies and gents I present to you, Kidi, Kuami Eugene, King Promise and Kwesi Arthur.
You can call them the Four Ks as they are popularly known.
Before these four, the Ghana music industry was ruled by the ‘Ss’ – Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale and Samini – and even though they have not been sidelined, the four Ks are challenging them at every turn.
Since 2017, the Four Ks have been treating Ghanaians with a lot of great music, timeless ones too.
In 2017, Kidi released his single ‘Say You Love Me’, Kuami Eugene introduced ‘Angela’ to the world, Kwesi Arthur did an amazing freestyle with “Grind day” and King Promise delivered on his promise to give Ghanaians good music when he released “Selfish”.
All in one year! People danced to these songs then and still jump to their feet when they hear the songs are being played.
And the exciting part is there was more and they are still giving us more.
MEET KIDI
Not only does he have a good sense of style but he has an amazing voice to go with it. The 2015 MTN Hitmaker winner shot to fame in 2017 with his hit single ‘Say You Love Me’.
It was not always a good road for the young artiste. In 2013, he was not picked to be part of the final cut who were to compete in Vodafone Icons.
In 2016 after the Hitmaker, his singles ‘Naadu’ featuring MzVee, ‘Bleed’ and ‘Never Again’ did not do so well. But his consistency and dedication to be better and make great music have gotten him this far.
MEET KUAMI EUGENE
This gentleman dazzled audience with his performances in the 2016 MTN Hitmaker.
Although he did not win, CEO of Lynx Entertainment Richie Mensah saw that unique talent and knew not only Ghanaians but people from other parts of Africa and beyond will enjoy his music.
When it came to his music, he had everybody dancing and singing along to ‘Angela’ before he had even finished penning the lyrics.
With, ‘Wish Me Well’ he spoke the language of the people, took the words right out of their hearts and gave it back to them in the form of music.
MEET KING PROMISE
The singer known for the big “camboo” he wore to the 2018 Vodafone Ghana Music Award’s has been releasing amazing music about love, devotion and life since his big break in 2017.
The singer before his first hit song was performing at school events, and underground events until he was discovered by the award-winning music producer KillBeatz.
With an incredible voice like his, having KillBeatz as his producer and Kojo Antwi a mentor, by his side, he cannot serve anything less than great music.
Fans and music lovers cannot get over every song he releases or features on.
One thing that has helped him win the hearts of Ghanaians is his ability to write songs that celebrate and appreciate love and love stories, almost like his mentor, Kojo Antwi.
MEET KWESI ARTHUR
The Ground Up Chale breakout star made Ghanaians fall in love with rap all over again.
The Ghetto university king is a rapper everyone can relate to. He made sure everyone knows he is from the hood, chewing gari here and there in his music videos, putting his boys in the videos and empowering others to work harder.
Kwesi Arthur had people rapping to ‘Grind dey’ at every spot and those who did not know the lyrics at least knew one thing, the chorus. ‘Monday yeh yeh, Tuesday yeh yeh, Wednesday yeh, yeh, Friday yeh yeh, everyday yeh yeh.’ It is still playing everywhere.
It even got a remix in 2017…
Kwesi brought a fresh face to rap and had almost every artist from different genres dying to have his lines on their track.
The talent of the Gound Up Chale star got him nominated in 2018 for a BET award barely two years into his career, a feat many musicians have not been able to achieve. Big ups to Kwesi
