<\/b>Hiplife musician, Kontihene, has promised audience of Citi FM’s Decemba To Rememba Concert a great performance on December 24, 2015, at the Accra International Conference Center.<\/p>\n
The man whose songs have sometimes been described as timeless, reiterated his position that\u00a0he makes the best songs, stating with optimism\u00a0that 2016 is going to be \u00a0a great year for him.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Citi FM\u2019s Traffic Avenue <\/strong>ahead of the Decemba To Rememba Concert, he noted that he was in no rush to release more songs\u00a0since\u00a0his current songs remain competitive.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”CUcTbOLNkGRrczYUMPMoweP8aK68x33j”]\u201cI\u2019m not in a haste to release more songs. ‘Dedede’ will still compete and ‘Clap For Me’ will take over 2016. I think it’s going to be my year; my songs are going to make\u00a0strong inroads.\u201d<\/p>\n He further stated that his songs are the best one can find around, reiterating that not even Sarkodie’s songs can compare to his.<\/p>\n Responding to suggestions that he is sounding boastful and proud, Kontihene said it is important for every artiste to regard his or her own work higher above any other person’s work.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not a PR for any artiste. I am selling myself as an artiste; If you think your hometown is not nice, mine is. My songs are better not only that Sarkodie but even that of Jay Z and everybody because I am marketing and promoting my product,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n Kontihene,\u00a0real name Emmanuel Nana Appiah Boateng, pioneered the brand of \u2018jama\u2019 based hiplife with his acclaimed 2002 debut album, Nyankonton, which had\u00a0the song of that year, Aketesea.<\/p>\n He had been out of the limelight for some years although his old songs were still relevant, and got music lovers on their feet anywhere they were played.<\/p>\n Kotihene later\u00a0made perhaps one of the greatest comebacks \u00a0last year with his hit track \u2018Etuom Esum\u2019.<\/p>\n
