K.K. Fosu, Musician Extraordinaire

K. K. Fosu He announced his presence on the local hiplife music landscape three years ago when he featured as a guest artiste on the ?Zaa-Za? track, a piece released by Kokovelli.

But the kind of voice, this artiste known as K.K. Fosu used to render his line on the track was so immaculate that all those music fans who had the opportunity to listen to him only concluded that he had a lot to offer in the music industry.

It was therefore no surprise when he later churned out his debut album ?Suudwe? on which he featured Kokovelli and  Batman.

The quality of production these artistes put into the work instantly made the album a hit piece. The combination of talents exhibited by the artistes led to showbiz name, the Hiplife Trinity.

?Suudwe?, ever since it was released onto the market continued to occupy top position on local music charts for a long time.

The track also enjoyed massive airplay at the time and fascinatingly every occasion one attends, the piece was played.

Now, K.K. Fosu who blazed the local music industry with his ?Suudwe? album is out once again with another hit album. ?Na through me?, which music pundits believe has the capability to cause a stir on the local music industry.

By now keen followers of the musical landscape have heard the album, which also had another potential hit piece ?Anadwo Yi Ye De?. ?Na through me? is currently enjoying a big airplay as well as one of the songs, which music fans would request when ever they find themselves at social gatherings of any kind.

A careful listening of the track portrays that the artiste directed his attention at his own body, both of who were members of the hiplife Trinity, Emmanuel Samini known in music circles as Batman for attacking him in one of his songs.

The action is so much reminiscent of what happened three years ago between Ex-Doe and his close body Chicago, where the two engaged each other in a battle of words through the kind of music they released at the time.

?Na through me? therefore was his response to Batman explaining that, but for him, (K.K.) nobody would have heard of Batman for him to have gained all that fame and popularity he is currently enjoying in the country as a musician.
