Kofi Kinaata cut his teeth in Effiakuma as a freestyle rapper and churned out several rap songs that became cult classics for his hardcore fans.
The singer transitioned to singing after joining Samini's Highgrade Family record label. With the help of the late hiplife superstar, Castro Underfire, the rapper went on to produce Susuka, an awe-inspiring single which set his successful journey as a singer in motion.
Kofi Kinaata now has a catalogue full of melodic classics making him a favourite for both young and old listeners.
His regular live performance sessions in Accra and annual concerts in Takoradi have become a testament to his incredible growth over the past decade.
While Kinaata has chalked significant strides with his singing career, some fans maintain that his abilities as a rapper give him an edge over many colleagues in the hip-hop trade actively.
In his recent interview, TooMuch, known for his comic role in the viral web series, explained why Kinaata deserved a top spot on the rap list.
"Kofi Kinaata has no equal in Ghana.All of us can rap. We understand what timing is and how to freestyle on a beat. But Kinaata will make you exercise your brain. There's no song of his that you'll listen to and not reason."
Speaking to YEN.com.gh about Kofi Kinaata's rap legacy, entertainment analyst, Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh said,
"What often happens is that many fans who started patronising an artiste from their come up always treat their early years as golden when the artistes eventually become successful. So it's understandable for TooMuch to hold that position. But such a national-level music debate requires more basis than just emotions and opinions. When you add factors like catalogue, awards, etc, you'll realise that there's not so much grounds for such an assertion."
