Ghanaian music producer and Chief Executive
Officer of Slip Music, Mark Okraku Mantey has
advised Ghanaian musicians to produce songs
which will last for long. Speaking at a focus
group discussion for hiplife artiste Edem’s
album, “Books n Ryhmes”, he said Ghanaian
musicians should concentrate on sustaining
their career than making hit songs which will
fade away in no time.
“I am not somebody who believes in
music that somebody does for a few
months and he gets a hit. Hit making is
not difficult, find out. You sustain your
career and make money from it after 20
years that is an artiste.
Not people who get hits for 6 months,
like Shatta. His music, mark it on the
wall, cannot stand the test of time,” He
said
Speaking on why Nigerian music is gradually
gaining roots in Ghana, the controversial music
producer said;
“Nigerians are doing well in Ghana
because they have melodies everybody
can always sing along. It was actually
our trademark when they took it from
us. It’s good to do hardcore music but
when you looking for the money or what
people will appreciate, concentrate on
what the ladies can sing”
Edem hosted a group of music gurus on
Saturday, May 10 at Travern in Osu, Accra to
listen and judge tracks on his upcoming album,
“Books n Ryhmes”. The industry players who
were present at the venue to listen to the 23-
track album included Mark Okraku Mantey,
Lawyer Michael Quaye, Ama K. Abebrese,
Francis Doku, Magnom, Lil Shaker, Daddy
Bosco, several radio presenters, media men
and fans of Edem.
Edem disclosed to OMG!Ghana.com that his
23-track “Books n Ryhmes” album will be
released in September this year.
