K. K. Fosu Reminiscent of the days of X-Doe and Chicago?s dis tracks on who the originator of ?Davi Medeku? actually is an event in hiplife history that turned the heat up to a red hot degree on the music landscape in the 90s. Perhaps dissing has been taken to another level by the controversial Batman, in the twenty first century, after his release of ?Igwe?, a song that attacked almost all the ragga artist on the scene.

Beyond that the song attacked K.K. Fosu, Batman?s own colleague with whom he did several hit songs. K.K. Fosu apparently had not taken it lightly and recently decided to launch a heavy retort.

K.K. Fosu in an angry tone told Ghana Billboard that Batman is a young brother to him and he released the retort to let the world know that he made Batman. The well thought out and lyrically crafted song goes straight for the head of Batman. It would only take one?s ears to listen and draw conclusions. K.K. Fosu insisted that Batman could have gone far without him. He called the shots and even wrote all the hooks in Sugwe for Batman for his response, because his phone had been switched off weeks.

K.K. Fosu and Batman?s duet, Sugwe became a household song just few days after it was released, indeed, enjoyable favorable airplay on Radio. Under the Ashanti International banner, K.K. Fosu, Kokovelli and Batman spontaneously became known as the trinity boys, with a track named Zanza, they went places and even won themselves nominations in the Ghana Music Awards. According to K.K. Fosu, Batman is not a friend but a brother, and can?t understand by the longest stretch of his imagination why none other than his brother insulted his musical ability.

K.K. Fosu, when asked by Ghana Billboard about Batman?s recent number one status in the Ghanaian music charts said the credibility of the charts is questionable. ?If it?s the money they want, they should tell us so we can also pay and be number one. If these charts were credible, then K.K. Fosu?s songs should have been number one long ago?, K.K. boasted. Batman and K.K. Fosu were spotted at the Busy Internet on the ringway, during the launch of Nescafe African Revelations on June 28, 2004. According to K.K, Batman was unhappy with his lyrical retort and asked why he did not at least contact him (Batman) before recording.

Is there bad blood between Batman and K.K. Fosu or it?s just another stunt meant to amuse me? Is Batman about to attack again? Or are they simply bathing in the glories of each other in search of a place in the history books of the Ghanaian music industry. Whereas, some are of the opinion that dis are unproductive to the hiplife industry because it promotes animosity, Obour, a renowned hiplife artiste believes its good for the industry since such songs were not put out on the market for sale.

He said it makes the musicians sit up because they get assessed by their own colleagues musically, which does not necessarily mean they have anything against each other personally. V.I.P. for example, after Geo?s critic about the fact that they are always beating sampling changed to what has won them several Ghana Music Awards this year. Obour was talking on Radio Gold?s Solid Gold Countdown to Mutala Mutari a.k.a Prime Eye.

K.K. Fosu demands an apology from Batman but on the same breathe indicates he suspects the Linda man may insult him again lyrically in a reply. On the song, K.K. Fosu does not mention names but the composition makes it clear who he was talking about. The five minute track is full of proverbs intertwined by versatility and lots of unchallengeable musical wit.
