Kwaw Kese believes the shift from rap to singing is not a transformation. It is a return to sender.
The outspoken rapper has weighed in on the growing number of artistes who have traded punchlines for melodies, arguing that some of them were never wired for rap in the first place. In his assessment, what many describe as versatility is actually a late discovery of purpose.
Speaking on Hitz FM, Kwaw Kese said several musicians stumbled into rap before eventually identifying where they truly belonged.
“They are not original. If they turn into singers, it allows the rappers to cash out. To me, I don’t think Kofi Kinaata and King Paluta were born to rap; they were born to sing. The rap was forced on them because of peer pressure and the people around them,” he said.

He emphasized that clarity changed everything for them. Once they recognized singing as their natural strength, they committed to it and their careers took a different trajectory.
“When they realized their true talent is singing, they never went back to rapping and they’re great. Now, if Kofi is rapping, people will not enjoy like they enjoy him singing. That’s his true call and it takes time for you to realize your true call,” he explained.
Kwaw Kese pointed to King Paluta’s recent momentum as proof that embracing one’s authentic sound can yield stronger results than trying to keep up with a trend.
