Kwasi Pee When Kwaisey Pee released his Krokro Me album, many people thought that it was Kojo Antwi who had come out with another album.
But one could not blame people for thinking that way because here was someone who had a voice just like Kojo Antwi and also had a similar style. Who would not think like that?
When Kwaisey Pee was eventually identified as the man behind that song, he was accused of imitating Kojo Antwi?s style or not being original. But he has come out to dispel such a statement.
?As much as I like Kojo Antwi, I am not imitating him, I happen to like reggae like he does which is explicable because it happens regularly in life. I have always felt that fusing reggae with highlife would express my love for these two forms of music? he said. Of course he knew that Kojo Antwi was already doing that, but he had no intention of imitating him. ?It is usual for two people to have similar voices even though some people do not think so,? he ended.
Kwaisey Pee born as Kwasi Poku Addae, was born to Madam Adwoa Pokuaah and the legendary Agyaaku, the great and popular musician of Yamoah and Sunsum Mystic Bands of the 60s and 80s respectively.
He started his education at the Datus Complex School in Tema, but due to the music that was brewing in his heart, and the realisation of his musical talent, he went into music. He started with his father?s Band and later left to join Nana Tuffour?s Sikadwa Band in 1994.
He again left to join Jewel Ackah and his Butterfly Six Band, and then for London with his Dad where they released an album titled Nyame Ye Odo in 1998. He has done some collaborations with Ataa Quame on his Obaa Pa Ho Ye Na song and also with Nana Quame on his Otwe Ma Me song.
His first album Krokro Me was released in 2000. It has taken him three long years to come out with his latest album titled Akono Yaa. According to him this new album is more like Kojo Antwi than Krokro Me was. Akono Yaa has 10 songs and they all almost talk about love.
Akono Yaa the title track is in the mid tempo vein and slightly pick up the pace in one of the choruses. With a combination of keyboard, bass guitar and other instruments, it is a love song and he tells his lover to tell him some sweet nothings and also soothe him. The choruses are very good.
Dwan Toa almost has the same beat of Akono Yaa and is also in the mid tempo vein. He sings about forgiveness as he begs his lover to forgive him for every thing he has done to her and one interesting thing he says is that he is all she?s got. Talk about a beggar with choice. It is a very good song with keyboard works running through.
Nonum one of the songs on the album which has a video is really receiving very good airplay, happens to be one of best songs on the album. The beat and the lyrics make it very good. It sounds like a collaboration with a sweet voiced lady. He tells his lover to meet him at Five, whether am or pm it is not known so they can talk. It has a good chorus and also happens to be in the mid tempo vein.
Makoma, which features Tic Tac is a cross between the mid and fast tempo vein and is bound to be the delight to many. His love for his lover is evident and the chorus which is very catchy will get many heads nodding and singing along. The rhythm is what enhances the song so well and one cannot forget Tic Tac?s rap as well. Of course the lyrics are what makes it so meaningful, very sweet.
