Ghanaian Afro-fusion artiste Gyakie has named R2Bees member Paedae, also known as Omar Sterling, as her all-time favourite Ghanaian rapper.
In an interview with Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, Gyakie explained her choice.
“My favourite rapper in Ghana now is Omar Sterling of R2Bees. He’s always been. Yes, he’s my all-time favourite Ghanaian rapper.
Omar Sterling is a poet. I always say that his rap is always different. The storytelling—he shares stories about his life or things happening in real time, and the way he puts the lyrics together helps the listener understand what he is saying. That always makes me very happy. I think he’s a very good writer and storyteller,” she said.
While admitting she is not a rapper, Gyakie noted that she loves the genre and tries to fuse it into her musical works occasionally.
Gyakie further mentioned that her style of music is eclectic, influenced by a wide range of genres she grew up listening to.
She is currently out with a new song titled ‘Sankofa,’ ahead of her upcoming maiden album, ‘After Midnight.’
