In recent years, the Ghanaian music scene has witnessed a surge in talented rappers, particularly from the Ga community. One notable artiste, Apaatse, has made waves with his unique style and unapologetic lyrics.
In a recent interview, Apaatse shared his thoughts on the Ga rap scene and his relationship with the legend Tinny.
Hunta Productions’ new signee, Apaatse, emphasized the importance of respecting pioneers like Tinny, who paved the way for the current generation. “Tinny is a legend,” Apaatse stated. “He laid the groundwork for us to build upon. If no rapper or hiplife artist can disrespect Reggie Rockstone, then you can’t do Ga rap and disrespect Tinny – it’s unacceptable.”
Apaatse highlighted Tinny’s contributions to the Ghanaian music industry as exceptional, breaking cultural barriers. He noted that Tinny popularized the Ga language in rap music and inspired countless young artists to embrace their cultural roots.
The rapper also discussed potential collaborations with Tinny, stressing the importance of mutual respect. He reiterated that he loves working with Tinny because their styles complement each other seamlessly.
Apaatse urged his fellow colleagues in the industry to honor the legends, understand and respect their roots, and innovate within tradition.
Apaatse’s words serve as a powerful reminder: respect and appreciation for pioneers are essential. As Ga rap continues to evolve, embracing heritage and fostering collaboration will fuel its growth.
