Kwame Ralph is the owner of the record label Greedy Fella Records, based in Atlanta, Georgia in the U.S. He also owns and operates Smokin’ Ace Productions, a full service music and video production company, which provides talent management, and publishing services.
Kwame Ralph’s love for music started with drums as early as 11 years old, and he would play the drums for the Teen service at Bethel Methodist Church, in Community 8, Tema.
He later fell in love with the bass guitar during his high school days at Akosombo International School, and he never looked back.
He started producing beats for himself and other artists in college at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia in 2007. He collaborated with his roommates Calvin F. (Skil’d Verse) and Delali Alexander (K.D) to form the group “Ghana’s Finest”, and they worked on their very first music projects.
By 2010, Kwame Ralph had found himself as an artist and solidified his style and sound and a producer, and he started making music as a solo artist.
He suspended his music production from 2013 to 2017 to attend medical school at Medical College of Georgia. However, his love for music would bring him right back to it very soon.
His long time friend and music associate Skil’d Verse encouraged Kwame Ralph to get back to producing so that they would work on a solo album for Skil’d Verse.
By the end of 2022, the album for Skil’d Verse was completed – 12 songs, all original material, and all produced by Kwame Ralph.
This sparked Kwame Ralph’s interest in producing his own album as well, starting with his first single, “Onua Mensu”.
To capture the authenticity of old school Ghana highlife music, Kwame Ralph travelled to Ghana in November 2022 to record the music for Onua Mensu, live in the studio, with him on the bass guitar along with 7 other Ghanaian instrumentalists.
Even though he has worked on numerous projects over the years, this is his first official release, and from the looks of it, there are many more to come.
