Born Kojo Kurankye, Ghanaian Reggae and Dancehall artiste Ras Kuuku has revealed to Blakk Senses on Swiss 93.7FM, Ho that no artiste in Ghana has root fans than he has.
“I dedicate the award to the ghetto youths because in Ghana no artiste has root fans than Ras Kuuku. They made me what I am today right from the scratch.” He told Blakk Senses.
The Puom King also stated that the reggae/Dancehall genre is not about him, Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale and Samini. It is about everybody in the genre. He therefore urged that it is time they should push the up and coming artistes to also reach heights.
