Storm Fm 101.9MHZ based in Sunyani, revealed a menace he exudes...
Please read the full interview………..
DJ MURPHY: What motivates you to do music?
BLAKK RASTA; Well, I'll say first and foremost, the passion to spread
the message, the passion to let the people hear the message. It's not
everybody who want to listen to preaching , it's not everybody who want
to hear you talk, some people are preached through music. And the love
for music as well so all these things pushed me into music and am loving
it.
DJ MURPHY; you came out with a song promoting Obama which was so
popular internationally, but you could sing about cholera which has
killed about 170 people in Ghana. Why Ebola?
BLAAK RASTA; Hahaha! well , Ebola is more like an international affair.
What people have to remember is that, to make music you have to be
inspired, Much as I may like to talk about cholera in my music, am not
inspired yet. Music is not just music. You must get a melody, you must
get a rhythm and have not had that inspiration yet. It's just like when I
did a song for Obama, people asked why I never did a song for Kwame
Nkrumah, the right inspiration did not come at the end of the day I had
an inspiration to do a song for Kwame Nkrumah and I did. I had an
inspiration to make a song for KENSARA WEERA which a lot of us did not
know up till now. And at the end of the day, I had an inspiration to
make a song for Gadaafi. So I normally wait for inspiration before I
jump. When the inspiration to make a song about cholera comes, trust me
my brother, I will jump into it.
Blakk Rasta added, the Ebola song took him along time to record.
BLAAK RASTA; Well, I'll say I started it in America when I had my big
tour then I spoke with Darryl Raysly, he wanted to be part of it and
then the moment I arrived I went into the studio then started recording
it. Infact, this is one song which took me a long time to record.
Normally when I start to record a song it took me a few days to record
because I take my time to write it before I come out but this one took
me a long time ,me and Zapp Mallet and I will say it has finally come
out and I love the way people are responding both internationally and
here. It's already flying big time. I will encourage you to play it
more to let the people feel it more, somebody brought us Ebola, somebody
created it and put it on us to kill us. America did that and we are not
afraid to say that. We are Black people, we love each other we love
ourselves. If somebody created a deadly disease like Ebola to kill us,
we want them to know we know all their tricks and we put it in our music
for prosperity to come and judge us all.
I'll
say Storm Fm big ups. These days you are all over the place. Storm fm
entertainment, news, articles and all that. I want to say big up and
want to say keep on pushing Blakk Rasta and keep on pushing the Ebola
tune. I say thank you so much for having me and big up Reagan. Blessed.
