"Artistes diverting to rap is normal in the industry; at a certain point, artistes need to have command over certain markets and tap into the main consumer market that thrives on songs that are more singing-based, so you would need to buy into such markets and turn them into your core base. I also do not think rap in Ghana is at a dead end, regardless of this phenomenon."
