FIT-K doing one of his things

Hidden in the obscure corner of Adjikpo, a suburb of Somanya in the Yilo Krobo Municipality of the Eastern Region is a great music talent that is largely going untapped.

Eighteen (18) years after composing his first song, FIT- K (an abbreviation of his names Fiagbor Israel Teye-Kodjo) as he wishes to be known in the showbiz arena, is yet to cross path with fortune for a helping hand that will provide a fertile ground and push him from obscurity into the limelight.

With twelve (12) recorded tracks that are sure to pleasurably strike the taste buds of contemporary music lovers, and twenty two (22) other songs in ink (yet to be recorded), 28-year-old FIT-K, now an HND holder is still hoping against all odds for an opportunity to put on display his inherent and naturally polished rapping (music) skills.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxhrv7pUi60. Largely modeled on Obrafuor’s style of rap music characterized by rich lyrics that speak to social issues, all twelve (12) of his recorded tracks combine modern-day feet-moving beats, soothing voice and articulate rap to deliver messages that are sure to appeal not only to any fun and music lover but any decent minded person and the many advocates who are wishing for a shift from the use of profane and indecent language in our hip-life and other emerging genre of music.

“Wu tri su”, the latest of his recorded (but yet to be produced) songs which was creatively put together by Eddie Kay Beats (another ingenious young man from the Krobo area) plays on the general theme of REWARD FOR YOUR ACTION- “reaping from what is sown” and advocates a more virtuous lifestyle for the betterment of society. Other tracks, majority of which are based on the concept of morality including those he composed in his native dialect (Krobo/Dangme), come with titles such as Vuvuzela, Letter to the Pope, The Warning, The Fruit, among others.

Born in the largely peasant farming community of Obawale in the Yilo Krobo Municipality, FIT-K who is a product of the Yilo State Junior High School and Yilo Krobo Senior High School (YIKROSEC) presently holds an HND (Accounting) from the Koforidua Polytechnic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcjI7z4q2D0

As a budding rapper with a never-dying thirst to spring from behind the scene onto the big stage against all odds, FIT-K’s eyes are fixed on celebrated Ghanaian artistes such as Obrafuor (His all-time role model) whose “Pae Mu ka” album further tickled his (FIT-K’s) artistic nerves and rejuvenated his musical hormones to join the creative industry.

Apart from Obrafour (Rap Sofuor), he takes inspiration from other great talents such as Sarkodie, Manifest, and the “Mad Man” or better still the “Street Boy”, Kaw Kesse. An opportunity to meet any of these celebrities would be good news to him.
