Ghanaian Afro-fusion artiste, Gyakie, has tipped R2Bees member Paedae also known as Omar Sterling as her all time favourite Ghanaian rapper.
Speaking in an interview with Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, Gyakie explained the reason for her choice.
“My favourite rapper in Ghana now is Omar Sterling of R2Bees. He’s always been. Yea, he’s my all-time favourite Ghana rapper.
Omar Sterling is a poet. I always say every time that his rap is always different. The storytelling - he gives his audience stories about his life or things that are happening in real time, and it’s the way he puts the lyrics together for the listener to understand what he is saying that always gets me very happy. I think he’s a very good writer and he’s a good storyteller,” she said.
While she admitted she is not a rapper, Gyakie noted that she loves the genre and tries to fuse it into her musical works once in a while.
Gyakie further noted that her style of music is eclectic because growing up she had music influences from a wider range of music genres.
Gyakie is currently out with a new song titled ‘Sankofa’, ahead of her upcoming maiden album, ‘After Midnight.’
