Shatta Wale, the leader of the Shatta movement, also known as Charles Nii Armah Mensah, has revealed the meaning behind the 2004 smash song “Moko Hoo,” which featured rapper Tinny and also thanked God for bringing him thus far.
Under his previous stage name, “Bandana,” “Moko Hoo” was published in 2004. For the now-famous dancehall musician, the song marked their big break.
The “Dancehall King” clarified that he used the word as gospel encouragement for the younger generation in an interview with Onua Showbiz on Saturday, February 10. He said that “Moko Hoo,” which means “none shall pass,” was used to inspire young people to trust in God, whom he described as the “Moko Hoo of this world.”
He went on to emphasize that, even twenty years after the song’s debut, the lyrics he utilized in “Moko Hoo” had a genuine positive influence on his life and had helped him establish himself as an artist.
“I sincerely want to give thanks to God for providing me with the inspiration to sing ‘Moko Hoo,’ which has shaped who I am today. My realities seem to have materialized. I used the gospel phrase “Moko Hoo” to convey to Ghanaian youth that believing in God, who is this life’s Moko Hoo, will bring about the realities of life.
“During my alone time, I enjoy listening to Moko Hoo’s lyrics.” My life right now is exactly what I described in the song. I’ve truly made a name for myself in the business world in addition to being an artist,” he explained.
Shatta Wale claims that Tinny’s rap lines in the song were all “prophecies” that alluded to his musical career’s future.
“We made things real, and it actually did happen. “If you listen to Tinny’s segment, all he said was to pray. In my opinion, Shatta music is gospel music with a contemporary twist,” he added to host Nana Yaw.
