Okyeame Kwame has fondly remembered how his journey in music started about 29 years ago and how he has maintained viability all these years.

The Hiplife legend said when he finished senior high school in 1995, he adopted the routine of rehearsing for four hours every morning.

In the Facebook post, he indicated he constantly witnessed live band music rehearsals, hunted for assorted rap music, read magazines on Hiphop culture, and fervently asked God to make him a successful rap artiste.

Fast forward, in 1999, Okyeame Kwame and his music partner Okyeame Quophi, together known as Akyeame (The Linguists), won Artiste of the Year at the foremost music awards show in Ghana, the Ghana Music Awards, now called Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs).

As a solo act, Okyeame Kwame won the trophy in 2009.

“Today, I still get nominated and win awards. I am grateful to all who held me up on the way and appreciate you (my fans) for the love for my work,” he remarked on his Facebook timeline.

The 48-year-old singer-songwriter and author conceded his Insha Allah with King Paluta was up against tough competition in the 2024 TGMAs Best Hiplife Song category but by God’s grace he was optimistic to emerge victorious.
