Award winning Hiplife artiste, Okyeame Kwame hopes to branch into marriage counseling in the near future.

Speaking on Atinka FM's mid-morning show, "Edwumaa oo" hosted by Roman Fada Wednesday, the rap doctor, said he has interest in counseling ,adding that most of his songs are centered on counseling people who may have different kinds of challenges in life .

He therefore said he will be venturing into full time marriage counseling within the next ten years.

Touching on his new single titled, “Small Small”, the “best rapper alive” said, he used a year to do the song, adding, “I recorded this song 20 times”.

Explaining the concept behind the song, he said, “the song has three themes- First, let’s accept that nothing is small.

Secondly, the phrase, ‘I love you’ has lost its value… let’s take gradual steps in our love journey. And finally, let’s accept that everything is a process. So you can’t just move from class one to become a millionaire. You have to go through the mill."

“Let’s look at the lyrics of the song: If you want to walk with me, first learn to crawl with me. If you want to run with me, learn to walk with me. If you want to fly with me, learn to run with me.

“And if you want to land with me, you might have flown with me. The music is discussing the fact that we shouldn’t forget that there are processes in life but we’ve all thrown out these processes. The concept of becoming rich quickly is becoming too prevalent," Okyeame Kwame added.

"Small Small", a track produced by Appietus is a fusion of Afrobeats, jazz, French pop and a bit of trap sounds. It was recorded live by the Patch Bay Band. The song features Lynx Entertainment’s act, MzVee.

According to Okyeame Kwame, the song has most of its lyrics in pidgin because he is looking forward to marketing it in East Africa as well.
