Music is made to educate, amuse and entertain. Unfortunately, it is not so with those in the music industry. For some time now there have been little problems in the music industry.

There have been grudges between artistes from time to time and the causes of this grudges are from diverse sources.

A few weeks ago, there was another storm in the music industry between the “Abodam” crew and Kwaw Kesse over the Akan word “Abodam” meaning crazy.

Don Elijah, the Vice of the “Abodam” Crew said; “the name “Abodam” was chosen by the crew 13 years ago because of the way members of the crew dress and rap”.

Elijah added; the name “Abodam” does not mean crazy but rather something nice, beautiful, underground and extraordinary.

The “Abodam” crew was formed by friends who formally sold clothes and snickers around the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra and more often sing and rap when the market is a bit slow. Out of that, we realized our potential in music and decided to form the crew”.

The “Abodam” crew is made up of 96 members and has chambers in Takoradi and Kumasi.

The “Abodam” crew said “Kwaw Kese stole the jargon ““Abodam” ” when they once met at the Hush Hush Studios when the “Abodam” crew was flowing the jargon.

They alleged that Kwaw Kese who approached the crew and showed interest in the jargon, later chose the name “Abodam” as his music name.

The “Abodam” crew noticing how popular and famous Kwaw Kese was becoming with the name “Abodam” threatened him at the Hood Natives Show which was held in Tema a suburb of Accra.

In December 2006, the “Abodam” crew and Kwaw Kese met again at a Carnival in Osu which was held on the Oxford Street by an Accra based radio station.

Kwaw Kese on hearing that the name of the “Abodam” crew been invited on stage took to his heels and vanished into thin air.

Until now, the grudge between Kwaw Kese and the “Abodam” crew still hold firmly with insults reigning on phones through SMS and phone calls.

The pinnacle of the crew will be coming out with their first album latest by the end of this year.

The title of this album is OBAA ADWOA with Dr. Jim who is an optician at the Emmanuel Eye Clinic at Shiashi as its producer and DJ Prekese of a Takoradi based radio station as its manager.
