We all know hip-hop is a history of the American culture. Well, new kids on the block, I mean our own Ahenfia Nkwadaa has joined the hiphop game but has flipped their verses into Twi language but still maintain the hiphop flavor.

I guess they probably never imagined that one day they would be caught on Ghana Music.com‘s radar. As young dudes, they have been able to headline a few concerts making the audience dance to their music.

Ghana Music.com: Let’s start directly with the question that’s on top of everybody’s head:  I hear you guys are into beats making?


Ahenfie Nkwadaa: Hmmm, that is something that is in the back of our heads right now. We are just focused on writing killer tracks and putting them out there for the world to hear and vibe to but making beats is also something that we would like to look into later.

Ahenfie Nkwadaa: Charley plenty, people in the game are so shady. I mean you got people stealing other people tracks or producers trying to cheat people because they figure we don’t know much. Now we have wised up but we wish we knew all this before we even started you know.

Ghana Music.com: You’ve been in this game for some years now as underground artistes. A lot of people come out with two or three songs and then you never hear about them again. What kept you motivated and inspired to keep writing and doing music?


Ahenfie Nkwadaa:  Music is not just something you wake up one day and do. People wake up and do a track and then they lose the passion or the love for it maybe because they realize it’s not their thing or they just never had the desire to do it in the first place. We love what we do, we have love and passion for it so that’s what keeps us motivated to do the ‘fire tracks’ that we do. So rest assured that Ahenfie Nkwadaa is going to be here for a long time.

Ghana Music.com: How come, no Ghanaian based in the states has ever blown up? What seems to be the problem?


Ahenfie Nkwadaa: People don’t want to see us blow simple as that. I mean when the music is coming from Ghana to the states people accept it more than us over here. It is harder for overseas artistes to get recognized because they have to go back to Ghana to do promotions and DJs take advantage of them which makes impossible to blow up, so people lose the love for it.
