Well folks, the latest konkonsa in town is about the dancehall and don dada mega blaster Emmanuel Samini formerly Batman, obviously one of the biggest and finest artist this millennium has produced.
The brother is sweet and loved by everybody who comes into contact with him for the first time. In fact he has carved a niche for himself as a master shaker whenever he is on stage.
I have known my big brother since the days of Pop corn group when he and Kokovellie were sharing the stage together, and I remembered vividly during “Top Radio’s mother of all carnivals” when they thrilled the crowd with their music prowess.
Together KK Fosu, Kokovellie and Bateo or Batman (that was his claim to fame then) they formed the group, Trinity, until he went solo and won many awards. But of late his fortunes seem to be dwindling. It may sound generic bitter yet that is the hard truth. As for me Konkonsa-Ba I am not a bit surprised. I for saw this coming since the days of CAF Awards Night at the Conference Center.
That night his output was nothing to write home about but some sycophants around him applauded him thinking that they are doing him a favor but when he put up that lackluster performance during the Decemba2Rememba Show, some of us were not amazed at all.
To me I think there are too many slobs around him whose interest is what they will derive from him but not what they will do to see his progress. My brother wake up and live, nama wo ho ndaho, because fame and popularity doesn’t exist always.
On this note let me take the opportunity to extend my condolences to my big brother SIDNEY the Hiplife Ninja of the saddened death of his mother a week before Christmas. I share the moment of grief with you and I hope that the Good Lord Himself will console you and your sister, alert us of the burial and we shall all be there.
