Kwaw Kese has revealed that if there is any valuable advice to give an aspiring musician, it would be to leverage social media.

He mentioned that he used to be approached by a lot of young artists seeking advice and mentorship, “but now, if you tell me to show you the way, I’ll tell you to do social media,” he said.

He proceeded to cite examples of successful music talents who were discovered on social media.

“Black Sherif, Fameye, Kwesi Arthur – and it took [just] one song for the world to realize these guys have it, and right after that, they blew up. Now, the way is social media. That’s what we are all trying to figure out,” he explained.

“Better than chasing me to help you, the help is now [readily] there on smartphones connected to the internet,” Kwaw Kese stressed.

The rap star challenged, pointing to Safo Newman of “Akokoa” fame as a classic recent example.

“Put your stuff out! Continue putting stuff out. One day, one will widely appeal to people. One song changed his life,” the “Dondo” hitmaker noted.

The Hiplife superstar observed many new artists are putting in [hard] work. He urged noting that, “in this industry, one good song can turn your [fortune] around”.

Kwaw Kese’s new “Awoyo Sofo” featuring Kofi Mole became an instant hit upon release on February 19, 2024. The song mocks religious leaders who abuse their power and congregation. The rapper talks about how he was able to outwit a dubious pastor.

The song was produced by Kwadjo Asante Opuku, also known as Skonti.

The rapper and boss of Madtime Entertainment who seemed proud of his latest banger, said the tune would put all his haters to shame when they hear it playing everywhere.

Also, he claimed that all secular musicians, including rapper Sarkodie, take inspiration from the works he produced over the years, adding that he is the “King of Kings” in terms of music in Ghana.
