C-Zar's musical career in Ghana
C-Zar, known for his unique and sometimes comical style of rap began his music career in 2000 with his debut Afei Na Ma Ba album. He followed his debut album with a sophomore album titled Sumsum Sofo in 2003.
However, the rapper rose to prominence in the Ghanaian music industry with the release of his Araba Lawson song, which featured the legendary highlife musician Ofori Amponsah from an album, which had a similar name in 2006.
The Araba Lawson album earned him multiple nominations at the Ghana Music Awards in 2007.
The T.I Ahmadiyya Senior High School alumni would go on to win the coveted Hiplife Song of the Year award ahead of other notable artistes like Okyeame Kwame, Obuor and Reggie Zippy at the Ghana Music Awards in 2009 with his chart-topping Mercy Loko hit song.
C-Zar lost his momentum in the Ghanaian music industry in the 2010s with the rise of new school artistes like Sarkodie, R2bees and Guru and released his last song, Azonto Pandemic featuring Praye Honeho in 2012 during the Azonto music genre era.
In 2018, the rapper confirmed in an interview that he had quit the music industry and transitioned into a full-time businessman after being inactive for some years.
He explained that he had decided to leave the industry as it was not lucrative and that he made less money despite his popularity.
Below is the video of C-Zar performing Mercy Loko at Onua Showtime:
