According to him, the knowledge needed to thrive in the music industry can be easily shared and passed on.

Speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Thursday, September 7, the rapper urged established musicians to consider holding master classes to teach emerging artistes how to navigate the music industry successfully.

“It’s a currency that can be passed on, it can be monetised. I haven’t seen musicians do like master class. Have you seen Sark doing a masterclass? That would be so cool for us to get all the information that made him successful.

“Or [have you seen] Stone giving us a master class? So I think it would be so cool if you are doing masterclass where you can share some of the ideas you had,” he said.

Pure Akan mentioned that even though he is not considered a mainstream artiste, he is hopeful that he will be able to pass on the skills and knowledge he has acquired to the next generation.

“For me, I think it’s the fact that I can be able to pass it on or carry on. I’m very hopeful about that. I’m building skills, I have knowledge and information about this music thing and it can be passed on.

“And that’s what I’m really looking for, that if it goes well, I’m still going to pass it on, if it doesn’t go as I want, I’m still going to pass it on. So I’m hopeful about that,” he stated.

The rapper, known for his rap music in the Ghanaian Twi language, acknowledged that language is not necessarily a barrier in music.

He recounted his experience performing in Germany, where the audience did not understand the local language but still enjoyed his music – expressing his belief that creative visuals and presentation can overcome language barriers in music.

“The guy who organised the whole thing was like Akan I told you, I think this is the answer you’ve been looking for. People are going to listen to you regardless of the language, but it’s a rap so people need to hear exactly what you’re trying to communicate to them.”

Pure Akan highlighted that his representation of the Akan culture and the values conveyed through his music played a role in attracting international opportunities and recognition.

The artiste is out with a new song titled ‘Auntie Bete’.

This song is a testament to Pure Akan’s artistry, offering music enthusiasts a spellbinding experience that celebrates Ghana’s rich musical heritage.

According to Sarkodie, lots of creatives put in lots of effort to churn out visuals for their creative works, hence he supports Kirani Ayat for calling the government out publicly.

Kirani Ayat has been in a back and forth with the Tourism Ministry after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo tweeted a video to promote Ghana, which had excerpts of his “Guda” visuals.

Reacting to this, Pure Akan asked the government to compensate the musician since he broke his back to make it happen.

Meanwhile, the creative director, David Nicol-sey, who shot the video has also voiced out asking the government to do what is right since no permission was sought by the Tourism Ministry.

A post shared by Pure Akan (@pureakan)

His kind of music is what is widely termed as alternative music. It has a different twist and style that produces a unique sound.

However, in an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, the rapper mentioned that growing up his passion was to do music.

According to him, after he completed St John’s Grammar Senior High School he had a chat with his mother concerning his career path.

Pure Akan narrated that convincing his mother was not an easy task but it was a success in the end.

When I completed school, I sat down with my mum to have a chat with her concerning my interest to focus on my music career and put my education on hold. In the beginning, she felt some type of way but I have a very supportive family that pays attention to the interest of their children and figure out a way they can support you…, he said.
