Ghanaian hiphop rapper Jason Gaisie has asserted that the culture of rap in present day Accra is dead without his engagement.
The Italian-based rapper in an interview on a YouTube digital segment, Face2Face Africa hinted his engagement with Accra based rappers bring the rap culture in Accra to life but loses its touch in his absence.
“The rap culture in Accra is dead; It’s dead here; its only alive when I come here; when I leave its dead.” he reiterated and further mentioned that rap culture Takoradi, his hometown still exists.
Ghana’s ‘Fante Vandam’ in the interview posited that even Ghana’s rap Landlord, Sarkodie, does not keep the rap culture in Accra alive because he is from Tema.
“When it comes to Takoradi, the culture is still there; people still try to rap, to impress with bars; its still there.” he highlighted, tagging the conscious effort of rappers to impress with their rendition as the meaning of rap culture.
