Ghanaian musician Desmond Kwesi Blackmore, better known as D-Black has said he took a step back with music because he realised music did not really pay.
According to the artiste who was a guest on Abeiku Santana’s “Atuu”, the days he worked hard writing good raps on his songs are over because, he couldn’t make enough money from his career but immediately he released his hit song “Vera” which has little rap verses, everything changed with his life.
“When I was rapping, I was broke. When I was doing my rap stuff I was getting the accolades, BET but I didn’t get money”. D-Black said when asked why he does not do good rap.
D-Black says he has not quit music but has only decided to go into it professionally.
Many have said that the kind of rap he does in his music does not befit someone known to be a Hip-Pop artiste. He has also been given the tag as the lazy rapper.
“I went to the BET with $800 and when I came back I was broke for a very long time. But when I wrote “Vera” and recorded “Vera” everything changed”, he stressed.
