KaCe, Oslo based Gambian hip-hop artiste is planning to have collaboration with Gambian artiste in his upcoming Extended Play.
“I am in discussion with Barahama, ST, Jizzle and Nobles to have collaboration; I have earlier had a discussion with Mandingmorry, Jalex about using the drums in an Africa style;” he told journalists.
He point out all these artistes doing it big in Gambia the way they composed their lyrics is amazing that is the reason I feels that Gambian needs to be put on the map.
According to him, music start from Africa people are now concentrating in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa but Gambian has a huge potential we recently gather a Diaspora music union in Oslo bring on all artiste in Diaspora to connect and showcase their talents in both home and abroad to put the country in the map.
He explained that: “I do motivational hip hop music to use the hip-hop platform to inspire and motivate the younger generation to actually do something better for themselves, I do that by using the popular instrumental and background music, so they can find themselves listen to the music so that they can become a better person, because I feel like as an artiste we have a responsibility to motivate and inspire the people that listen to our music all over, I having been doing music 2006 it started back in Gambia as a poetry because I was born in Norway but am brought up in The Gambia until 2003 when I return to Norway, so I took my poetry link it with music which I found was hip-hop”
He noted that he have so far release 25 singles with four video, but he have problem with his vocabulary so since he reposition himself released two singles and two videos.
He added: “Since I started music in 2006, I been bless with having a distribution deal with a label called Tone Black in German and another label in US The Empire where I get a distribution deal and the reason for the deal is instead of a record deal was that for me to be signed to a label”.
He also said he need a creative freedom saying that if you have a creative freedom you can have a chance of making a music you want to make instead of having a corporate to tell you what kind of music you need to make and sell your product.
He further said for him as long as more less getting lesser listen benefiting what he creates for that is enough because that is the agreement. He pointed out that he is registered nurse and his aim is to reach as many people inspire them in a positive way not about fame and money
“Because in the society we are living in there is so much negativity going around, so for me I just want to spread positive help people by bring them forward in impact in their lives”
Esmaila Camara, his promoter said KaCe music is inspiring talking to youths to stand firm and move higher. “That is the reason; I stood by him to move his career to the highest level”, he explained.
