AraTheJay speaks about King Promise
In a recent interview on 3Music's Culture Daily show, singer AraTheJay shared how he made his breakthrough in the Ghanaian music industry.
The musician shared that he was surprised when his first hit song, Sankofa, recorded huge numbers on Apple Music and garnered King Promise's and many Ghanaians' attention on social media.
He said:
"It is always in my mind because I saw the number on my phone. I was in class at Ghana Communication Technology University when I saw that my song, Sankofa had gotten 250k streams on Apple Music. I later saw King Promise and others vibing to the song. I could not even eat that day."
AraTheJay said that King Promise recorded a video of himself jamming to the song and later called him to give a positive review and express his interest in collaborating on the remix version.
"I was not expecting anything after releasing the song. It was all about its message until I saw the numbers and King Promise's video. King Promise recorded a video of himself singing the song and called to tell me he liked the song and that I should come around. He came to record his verse in the studio with Guiltybeatz, Killbeatz and Prince Dovlo. It was all God's blessings."
He noted that King Promise never took any money from him for the collaboration, and wholeheartedly shot the video and promoted the song on social media.
