Celebrated Ghanaian musician, Michael Elliot Okyere Darko widely known in showbiz as Obrafour has revealed that it took him took two solid years to learn how to rap and gave his reason why he ventured into rap to be that he lost his mother and that affected his dreams.

Obrafour in a recent interview with Amansan Krakye on Radio Central stated that rap wasn’t part of his dreams but rather wanted to be just like his grandfather who was a lawyer.

Narrating his story, he said “It took me 2 years to learn how to rap. Hip life or rap wasn’t part of me or something in my mind that I wanted to do. When I was going to school I wanted to replace my grandfather who was a great lawyer in this country, who was called lawyer Okyere Darkoh. He was the one I wanted to follow his steps”, he divulged.

The veteran musician sadly disclosed that his dream of becoming a lawyer was badly affected after he lost his mother and had to replace it with rap.

“Man proposes but God disposes. My mum died and that affected my dreams, career, school and everything. So when I was in the house not knowing what to do, I discovered rap”, he added.

Obrafour’s debut music album dubbed “Pae Mu Ka” is 20 years old and it’s one of the greatest albums hiplife has produced. He will be marking the 20th anniversary with a concert in November.
