Why R. Kelly and Ghana Must Go?

The fast-rising Afro-swing artist has people talking online about some of his title choices. During our chat with him, we tried to pick his brain and his creative process. What inspired the names R. Kelly and Ghana Must Go on two tracks on the EP?

“They are nothing but a euphemism for expressions. R. Kelly is still regarded by many as the greatest R&B singer of all time despite all of the shady things he did. So it was just an expression of nothing too deep. I might not look like the perfect industry boy, but no one can deny my talent and creativity. That’s just the message there.”
