Ghanaian artist King Rocky recently made a passionate plea on Ahotor FM, 92.3, urging well-established musicians to lend their support to underground artists striving to make their way in the industry.
During his appearance on the popular radio show “Ahotor Mmre” with Obaapa Janee, King Rocky shared his belief that the growth of Ghana’s music scene hinges on veteran artists actively helping emerging talent. “Big artists have a duty to nurture the younger generation,” King Rocky stated.
“There are countless talented artists out there who need just a little guidance, a platform, or even a feature to gain the recognition they deserve. If we lift each other up, I’m confident we can elevate our music scene.”
He highlighted the challenges faced by many rising artists, including financial limitations, insufficient resources, and a lack of connections, which hinder their ability to access vital platforms for success.
King Rocky suggested that established artists could serve as mentors and collaborate with underground musicians to create a more supportive environment that encourages creativity and growth.
He believes that this could lead to a richer array of homegrown stars and diverse sounds reaching a broader audience.
His remarks sparked discussions among listeners, with fans applauding his call for unity and mentorship within the music industry. Many supporters expressed their hopes that influential musicians would heed King Rocky’s advice and recognize the positive effect such collaborations could have on Ghana’s music landscape.
