Eric Attipoe, alias Osabarima is the new hiplife sensation. The former drums prodigy turned hiplife rapper has burst unto the scene, launching his career in style.
Osaberima started carving his own musical path when he was a choir-boy at the Kwahuman International School, Nkawkaw in 1997.
He later became a master drummer for the Church of Pentecost, but before that, he had enrolled at Asankragwa Secondary School where he dazzled fellow students when he was only in Form One. He was a star on campus.
He became a hero during the Homos Nite when he became first in a singing competition, earning fame for his house ? Buadum House. He sang ?Missing You? by Prof. Daddy also known as P. Diggy and ?Sankofa? by Okyeame.
That same year, he was selected to represent the school during the SRC Week music festival. He came second.
The cool-headed youngster started performing at beauty pageants and public events after school, and was lucky to meet a US-based businessman, Mr Ferguson Adesoye, who was impressed with his songs and decided to finance his maiden album title-tracked ?Anansesem?.
The ten-track debut has Mentumi Ntena, I Am Aware, Wa Show Me, Ababo and Odopa. The rest are Obaahemaa, Osaaberima, Wa Show Me (Remix), Baby Girl and Anansesem.
He was backed by Kwabena Kwabena, and Boli of ?You May Kiss The Bride? fame, Atumpan, Odikro Kino and Quashigah.
The tracks have what it takes to make the ear tick. Osaberima is certainly on course to challenge greats like ?Praye? in due course of time. He believes in himself.
Osabarima gives credit to Appietus of Creative Studios, Dansoman, and Soul Engineer, not forgetting Hammer of The Last Studio who engineered tracks of the album. His courtesies also go to Pocalos Studios at Dichemso, Kumasi.
Meanwhile, his executive producer, Mr Adesoye, in an interview with ?Spectator Arts? said he decided to help someone who hailed from Wiawso, and specifically selected Osaberima because he had wanted to go to university when he lost his father.
"If he does well with this first album, then we can start thinking about reinvesting his earnings into a new album," he said. "This first album is good and hopefully, it should hit the market. I would also be in favour of Osaberima teaming with more tested artistes to give him the leverage he needs. I wish him well."
