Ghanaian rapper Kweku Flick, born Andy Osei Sarfo, has refuted claims that the Asaaka music movement is dead.
Speaking in an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Kweku Flick argued that the movement, which originated in Kumasi, remains vibrant.
According to him, such perceptions arise because the artists involved in the movement have taken a break to focus on their individual careers.
“Everything you saw about that vibe some time ago is still happening. As far as music is concerned, the vibe is still alive.
“It’s just that everyone is focusing on their own projects, which is why people think it’s not as visible as before. But everyone is working, and things are going well,” he added.
What is Asaaka music?
Asaaka, also known as Ghanaian drill music, emerged from the streets of Kumasi, blending traditional Ghanaian sounds with the hard-hitting beats of drill—a sub-genre of hip-hop that originated in Chicago in the early 2010s.
The movement gained momentum in the mid-2010s, with artists like the Asakaa Boys infusing local dialects and cultural references into their music, creating a unique sound that resonates both locally and internationally.
Kweku Flick’s contributions, including hits like New Year and Bye Bye, have been instrumental in bringing Asaaka to mainstream recognition.
