Ghanaian rapper Kwaw Kese weighed in on Kendrick Lamar's Grammy frenzy with a post that got many drooling over the former's legacy.
Kendrick's win brought flashbacks of the Ghana Music Awards 2008 when Kwaw Kese took home five awards.
The race was between Kwaw Kese, Becca and Ofori Amponsa who each scored six nominations including the ultimate Artiste of the Year.
Kwaw Kese's wins came on the back of his sophomore album Abodam Vol 1 which featured chart-topping hits like Mbaa Pe Wo, Popping, Ma Kwan and Na Yatal.
The album was adjudged the Hip Hop Album of the Year on the night. He also won both Hip Life categories and Best Video of the Year.
The Abodam hitmaker's strides have broached significant conversations about his legacy of being one of the only few Ghanaian rappers to win the coveted Artiste of the Year award.
In an exclusive conversation with YEN.com.gh, music and marketing executive Randy Walker said,
"That tweet was playful but it's also an important reminder of who Kwaw Kese is and his impact on rap music. He is part of a few rappers who really became successful without having to become a singer. His PR team needs to find a way for him to relive those moment and capture those stories so they don't get lost in the grand scheme if things."
