For a musician who Literature means a lot to,
Okyeame Kwame, has hinted that the release of his ‘Okyeame Kwame Versatile Show’
Album was carefully guided with poetry lovers in mind.
Also called ‘Rap Doctor’, Okyeame Kwame revealed
that, “I am staging the ‘Okyeame Kwame Versatile Show’ at the National Theater
to coincide with the album launch in appreciation of my fans who have given me
so much. This album provides a lot of education in literature for fans to
keep”.
The ‘Faithful’ and ‘Woso’ singer has hinted that the
finished hard copy of his album will include a booklet containing lyrics of all
the songs on the album. "This is important because it will indulge listeners
by enabling then to have a clear understanding of the verbal aspect of the
album, which contains poetic elements for academic and educational
purposes", he explained.
Even though the lyrical content of some
songs contains some adult themes, he is optimistic that every individual who values
education through music can relate to the content. "As you know,
Literature modifies and brings new dimensions to one’s thought,” which he
believes is what this album is out to achieve.
His heart desire, he disclosed, is to
see that in some years to come all his music will be translated into more than
20 different international languages for educational purposes simply because of
its poetic and communicative elements.
He compares himself to Shakespeare
saying if Shakespeare's works were acknowledged years after his death, his
(Okyeame Kwame) works will also go places even as he is alive.
The ‘Okyeame Kwame Versatile Show’ is
the fourth solo album by Okyeame Kwame. The only one of its kind, the Rap
Doctor delivers a mixture of English, Twi, and Pidgin (broken English)
languages on this album.
Another one-off with this album is that
O.K features some popular artistes and producers. One December 14th,
at the ‘Okyeame KwameVersatile Show’ Event, Okyeame Kwame is set to perform
each song on the album with the various artistes featured on the album at the
National Theater.
Artiste featured runs the gamut of Kesse,
Raquel, Efya, Irene Logan, Nana Yaa, Tinny, Edem, Stone (of Bradez fame) as
well as others on the album.
The show seeks to fuse together Music,
Dance and Theatre on one stage.
