I worked as a delivery guy in America while doing music in Ghana – Rapper E.L

Elom Adablah, better known by his stage moniker EL, has revealed a hitherto unknown aspect of his nature to his followers.

The 2016 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Artiste of the Year revealed how he hustled in the United States to make ends meet.

In a recent interview with 3Music TV, EL stated that, despite still being recognized as a great singer in Ghana, there was a point when he had to work as a food delivery man in the US just to keep body and soul together. That incident, he claimed, taught him humility.

Time teaches you so many valuable lessons and it changes you, especially when you go through a few things. I've passed through before. 

There was a point in time in the States I had to start doing food delivery. Yeah, it was that deep. I delivered food door to door just to keep myself going,” he disclosed in the interview. 

I've actually passed through things and that stuff teaches you things like humility. So anytime I see an artist and they come to me for advice the first thing I tell them is cool down, you know see anything yet.

E.L is not for hit sings such as “Obuu Mo”, “Kaalu”, “One Ghana”, “Auntie Martha”, “Shelele”, “Mi Naa Bo Po”, “Koko” and “KaaBuAme”, “See me Sometime”, “Abaa” and “Pay Like a Boss”. His debut album was Something Else (2012).

E.L released a mixtape he calls The BAR (Best African Rapper) and in 2017, he released the fourth one called BAR IV. He won Artiste of the Year and Hip-life/Hip-hop Artiste of the Year at the 2015/2016 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
