Who is legendary Ghanaian rapper Chicago?

Chicago, or Tordia Tsikago, is a legendary Ghanaian rapper who rose to prominence in the music industry in the late 1990s.

The musician was synonymous with his command over the Ewe language in his rap verses, which was rare in the mainstream scene at the time.

His success paved the way for other musicians from the Volta Region, including Agbeko and Edem, who also achieved fame by rapping in Ewe.

Chicago's first hit song was his Daavi Medekuku collaboration with veteran rapper Ex-Doe.

The two legendary rappers later fell out with each other and began a heated musical beef, culminating in the release of his popular song, Wobeko, a direct response to Ex-Doe's Maba track, which dissed him and Reggie Rockstone.

He later formed a cultural group called the Efo Music Academy before leaving Ghana for abroad and returning a few years ago.
