In an exclusive chat with Ghanaian culture journalist and member of The Grammy Recording Academy, Kenneth Awotwe Darko told YEN.com.gh:
"AraTheJay has always had it coming. His cadence and style are unique, and it was only a matter of time before the world heard him out. What impresses me more is his confidence that he was making an impact despite his very niche listenership and unyielding focus on the word of God. To me, that’s perseverance, and I’m glad Olamide sees it, too."
