Inside Pentium Studios, Spintex comes another hit single ‘who is bogus’, the song features Sarkodie, Guru and ASEM.
Putting together the chorus of this song it was difficult to get the perfect drum pattern and the kind of artiste to ride on this instant hit.
If you have ever recorded a song before you will know that music connects, any singer will testify to the fact that if you finish writing your chorus a name of a particular rap artiste comes into mind.
I had three artistes in mind, ASEM, SARKODIE & GURU, who do I work with?
My first artiste was the sensational ASEM, a look at his past glory and lyrical prowess.
He got into the lime light with the song “Give Me Blow”, the lyrics of that songs were not too strong as a rap musician.
His rhythmic lines were tight on that song as the magic behind that song’s break through was the Profanity behind the song.
ASEM with that hit grew in structure in words, as shown in ‘Pigaroo’, the ladies loved it but the guys still had problems with his lyrical content, many said he was still not matured as a rap artiste.
One person said “the song he did with mad Fish and Black prophet was good but in his song featuring VIP, his timing had a problem.
Guru and Sarkodie pair was difficult to select, because they had their power points and their weaker points.
To start with was Sarkodie, “he is lyrically strong, sounds matured, confident and understands what he is saying on a track.
Music is information; hence Sarkodie gives out information and allows people to absorb the information.
In the song with Obrafour, Sarkodie did well with his composition, same with the song ‘Baby’ I am sure it showed the other side of the artiste, that he could do it for the guys and for the ladies.
On the issue of Guru, many said he is also lyrically strong, well composed and has a strong commanding voice. ‘He is exciting to listen to, the only problem here is, and sometimes GURU hardly sends a message across.
He starts his flow very well; he will lose it along the way and end it at a different situation.
The decision is now yours to decide which artiste should feature on my new single ‘WHO IS BOGUS’ take into considerations, maturity, stage performance, lyrical prowess, voice, creativity, and originality.
