Artwork for Letter to Tinny
After participating in Shatta Wale’s Accra Invasion Project, Blakid is making waves as a rising star in Ghana’s rap scene. With his new sound, “Letter to Tinny,” he aims to revive Ga rap and honour Tinny, a legend of the genre.
Eager to revive a genre of Ghanaian music that seems to have taken a back seat, he pens a very well-written lyrical song, “Letter to Tinny,” to the Godfather of Ga rap, Tinny.
Produced by King Beatz, Blakid shows massive appreciation for Tinny over hard-hitting drums with a sweet melodic trumpet arrangement. He references most of Tinny’s major hits with amazing rhymes.
Blakid’s rhythm is flawless, and his wordplay is on point. He encourages the legend Tinny to keep contributing to this overlooked music genre and even calls on other new Ga artists who are performing well.
Blakid appears to be a powerful new talent, and it seems Tinny may have a response coming soon… Watch this space.
