Ground Up Chale philosopher and former BET Award nominee, Kwesi Arthur has disclosed that he nurtured his musical talent when he had the opportunity of ‘serving’ in his uncle’s church while growing up.
The rapper whose unique voice has been replicated by a new entrant in the music industry Kwaku Flick said he had to help his uncle, Pastor David start his own church by playing the keyboard and singing for him in a fresh interview on TV3’s 360 program.
He was reacting to the question of how h is family supports and considers his music craft given his background.
“Oh not really, I’m not really a church boy though I was always involved in the church. My uncle had a church, so I was helping him at the church. Yeah, he operated a church, Pastor David, it was his own church but now he is with the Royal House, so I was helping him.
Sometimes I will play the keyboard and all, I wasn’t really good but I played to help, though it wasn’t really serious,” he told the host of 360, Giovani Caleb amidst smiles.
Asked what his family, especially his uncle’s reaction has been since he ventured into the music scene with his hard-hitting rap style, the ‘Son Of Jacob’ responded by saying “me I wasn’t really churchy, though I went to church I was free to do what I had to do, so he will understand”.
Kwesi Arthur also shed light on how he met the American rapper Vic Mensa and how he started being a commercial artiste thereof.
And he played his hook of the new ‘Winning’ track to Vic and he liked it right away.
So they recorded the hit single the next day in an apartment in Osu.
