Rapper Amerado is undoubtedly still in awe of his success because Kwaku Ananse, a song he released almost four months ago, is still receiving a lot of attention and is one of the biggest hits of 2023.
Amerado acknowledges that despite his happiness with the song’s success, he feels pressure to improve so that his next release would be as well-received as Kwaku Ananse’.
Derrick Sarfo Kantanka, better known as Amerado, stated in an interview with Graphic Showbiz that he felt pressure, but it only motivated him to work harder.
“I am aware of Kwaku Ananse’s influence, and I also know that people are wondering, ‘What’s next?'” However, the truth is that I do better under duress, and since I enjoy what I do, I don’t mind. Since Kwaku Ananse is so well-known, I’m sure that many are curious about the song I’ll release to blow it.
“My goal as a musician is to create a song that surpasses the previous one, and that’s what I hope to achieve.” I’ve never ceased mentioning good music. Grace with Lasmid was present.
Asked how Kwaku Ananse became so big, the reigning Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Best Rapper of the Year said he never knew the song would get that big till he heard it at places he didn’t expect to hear it and that prompted him to pay more attention to the lyrics although it was his song.
“Ghanaians made me realise Kwaku Ananse is a powerful song because everyone was singing it. I saw the song as just a normal one but after it blew everywhere, I had to go back to listen to the words and I realised it is a beautiful song,” he stated.
Just as most artistes are going to be busy during December in GH, Amerado is off to Okese Park at Ejisu in the Ashanti Region on Thursday, December 28 to host his first major concert My Motherland.
Artistes supporting him on the night are Lasmid, Eno Barony, Brother Sammy, Kweku Darlington, Ypee, Fameye, Lil Win and King Paluta.
