Ghanaian rapper M.anifest has explained to DJ Slim on Daybreak Hitz, his approach to music collaborations and his creative process.
When asked about how he chooses someone for a feature, M.anifest said the most important factor in working with other artistes on a song is being in tune with their craft and stle.
"The music has to call for it (the feature). Music is frequency and vibration, so like you have to be in tune, if you're not in tune and not aligned, everything is just going to be paper calculation, "he said.
When asked how he settles on particular sound, he responded that, "It has to feel good first and foremost, it has to ginger me. I have to be that excited because I have been doing this for a while, so if I'm not excited by something, that means it's the same repetitive something."
M.anifest also shared his thoughts on striking a balance between showcasing his lyrical skills and conveying a powerful message.
"As a rapper and as a lyricist who also writes good songs, sometimes we tend to want to put too much into a song, because it's like sometimes people want to hear lyrics from me, sometimes I won't even give them four verses. Sometimes it's like 'yo, the idea is more powerful and more potent than what you really want to do to show off. So it's important to keep a balance'," he noted.
M.anifest's interview with DJ Slim provides a unique glimpse into the creative mind of one of Ghana's top rappers.
His emphasis on intuition, balance, and authenticity serves as a reminder of the importance of staying true to one's artistic vision.
