I am building a Legacy – Kofi Kinaata

Kofi Kinaata, an award-winning rapper, has said that he is utilizing his music profession to leave a legacy.

In an interview with the Daily Graphic, Kofi Kinaata discussed his recent award at the EMY Awards Africa, which took place at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Center.

Kofi Kinaata was named ‘Man of the Year Music,’ which means a lot to him, and he views his victory as “significant.”

“Winning Man of the Year Music at the EMY Africa Awards is a big deal considering the fact that the scheme is not a music award. It honors great achievers and to be part of these huge personalities is such a big deal for me. It honors great achievers and to be part of these huge personalities is such a big deal for me. It means I am doing something good”, the rapper said. 

Kofi Kinaata further stated that the prize has challenged him to work harder and not become complacent with his profession.

Kofi Kinaata revealed that as a young guy, he wanted to be a footballer, but he is now satisfied that he is doing music instead and doing everything he can to produce wonderful music.

“I just don’t release songs because I want to but because I want my works to make that impact and I am glad I have been able to do so till now. I am very grateful that both the young and the old enjoy my songs.

“When coming out with a song, I always want to touch on a topic. For instance with Confession, I was only trying to raise awareness of the consequences of drunk driving but it turned out to be one of the biggest songs in Ghana and beyond.

“I don’t release songs with the expectation that they will be a hit but they all turn out to be successful. When you check the kind of songs I do, they shouldn’t even be hit songs because they are not danceable ones but to my surprise, they always top the charts” he added.

“I don’t believe in creating controversial stuff to hype a song even though I am not against it, I prefer to rather do a quality song and let it do the talking for me.
