Tema based rapper; Yaa Pono never graces an event without leaving audience asking for more. His energy, stage craft, free style prowess and ability to engage the crowd can be compared to none.
Whiles others attributes this to the fact that he smokes or takes in a substance before mounting a stage, for him whatever he displays on stage is madness that Glorifies God.
During his performance at the just ended Campus Dey Pap which came off at University Of Education, Winneba, on saturday, the Zongo Girl, rapper said yes he is mad but for God.
“As for us , we are mad for God, I am mad for God.”
Yaa Pono, quickly rose to become not just Ghana’s but one of Africa’s premier and best loved freestyle hip hop artists.
After appearing on several local radio shows and competitions, Yaa Pono entered the studio in 1995. He can count artists such as Sarkodie, Stay Jay, Guru, D Cryme and Chris Waddle among his contemporaries as they often appeared together at gigs.
Joining Ghana’s esteemed Pidgin Music record label in 2009, offered Pono more opportunities to develop and broaden his creative repertoire whilst working with the finest producers in the country. He is currently a Bavaria Big in Ghana Talent Hunt & Tour brand ambassador of two years standing.
