According to the musician, his latest single, ‘Sika', a pensive melancholic reflection on the many effects of money on the human race, tasted dust throughout the Christmas season. Speaking to the Globe newspaper, Okyeame Kwame said he had been left second guessing his promomtional tactics when under his very nose the Azonto fever swept his song to the curb.
