It appears that Ghanaian hiplife star Kwaw Kesse is taking a long vacation away from Ghana.  He has been spotted representing the flag of Ghana in a behind the scenes footage on the music video shoot for ‘Live by Da Gun’.  ‘Live by Da Gun’ features American rap duo, Smiff-N-Wessun and Ugandan rapper Prince Eddie Atlas, and is taken from the upcoming ‘Black Star Line’ album, a hiphop meets Africa album from Billboard topping Ghanaian international producer, Coptic.

The album also features collaborations between the hottest rappers and singers from all over Africa and American rappers. Some of Smiff-N-Wessun’s past records were produced by Coptic and they are excited to work with him again on this project. They shared some views on African music and the project in general: “I feel like African music is the mother of all music and it is an honour to work with African artists. It is important that we bring the culture 360 degrees; this is how we communicate and begin to get back in touch with our heritage. Hip hop itself is ever growing and it impacts our youth everyday for it is the voice of the voiceless and to witness it let alone be a part of it is phenomenal,” comments group member, Steele.

“My opinion of African music is basically the same way we feel about all music, we love it. We don’t like to separate music as long as it good music we embrace it. It is an honour and pleasure to be involved in this project with artist from Africa. It is something different for us, plus we get to work wit our big homie Coptic again. We are all hoping that this album would bring the worlds even closer together. Music builds and destroys, so once you tear down and eliminate the entire negative, you can rebuild with positive energy,” comments the second group member, Tek.
