Tema based rapper, Kwesi Arthur, has said on BBC’s Focus on Africa that Drake made him start writing music.

My dad used to play music in the house. But I started listening to Drake and that’s what made me feel like I can write music. So, Drake made me start writing music. He was talking about his life so why not go into it and write about myself so that’s how it started” he said

According to the artiste, his song “grind day” is about the difficulty people go through daily, trying to survive. He further went on to say that social media has played a vital role in promoting his songs.
