Koo Ntakra has finally voiced out his stance on the
ongoing wrangles as to who has been the best
rapper from the Akuapem range, stating he is the
Best thing that has ever happened to that style of
music in Ghana.
The 2013 MTN season 2 winner has made it clear
in a report emerging from Koforidua where he
started his music, to have been the Best thing that
has ever happened to the style of rap with the
Akuapem language.
The report carried out by iPromoGH, talks about the
young artiste stating why he is considered the Best
out of the lot of the Akuapem rappers in Ghana.
According to the young rapper, Akuapem rap in
Ghana, has not seen a lot of stars rise to
prominence ever since Pope Skinny first used the
language in his introductory stage, but since
winning the MTN Hitmaker, "within a year I
released my first studio album, which featured not
only Ghanaian artistes but went on to do an
international collaboration with WondaBoy of
Nigeria, not only that, within the same period i have
had the opportunity to perform alongside the best
artistes not only from Ghana, but on the continent
as well, including our very own Sarkodie who has
won several international awards, and is highly
regarded by many, Samini, Shatta Wale, Edem,
DBlack, WizBoy, Davido who is the current winner
of BET Awards Best Africa Art, as well as legendary
AB Crentsil among many others".

The rapper went on, stating that, he has given the
younger ones on the mountains of Akuapem and the
entire Koforidua who do street rap battle the edge
and inspiration that they can also go on to becoming
the future stars of their trade with their own rap
style.
"I have used all available channels and through my
music to project the Akuapem language, its
traditions and history just within one year of doing
commercial music, and I think no one has been able
to do what I have done thus far", he added.
Koo Ntakra is known for his storytelling poetic rap
lyrics in his music with his deep Akuapem ascent
that marvelled a lot including the judges during his
time on the MTN Hitmaker reality show for which
ultimately won him the prize.

‘Akuaba’ (Priceless), he also released an official
video with YaaPono for his ‘Move Back’ sound and
has hinted of working on a new mixtape album to be
