Although far away from home, he’s raising the flag of Ghana high in the United States of America through music. His name is Papa Staunch (real name George Oteng – Mensah) – a Ghanaian born rapper, singer and an exceptional song writer who truly understands the art of music.
He began singing at a very tender age at Oseikrom, a suburb in Kumasi where he was widely known for his distinctive voice.
Papa Staunch rose quickly in ranks in the music industry due to how dynamic and unique he was. As the saying goes; “A child who washes his hands clean enough gets to dine conveniently with the elders” and so is the case of Papa Staunch, who is currently working with top musicians like Tinny because of his immense talent.
After a few gigs, he migrated to the USA. Since then, he has been performing on quite a number of stages including African events that take place in the States.
As a rapper, Staunch takes inspiration from experienced rappers like French Montana, Rick Ross, Obrafour, Sarkodie, and Tinny.
Just like any other upcoming rap artiste, Papa Staunched is not immune to challenges. It is the wish of any musician to penetrate through his target market but what remains the biggest challenge for Papa Staunch is promoting his songs in Ghana since he resides in the States.
Staunch was recently discovered by Kingrich Media Productions – a media production that is based in United States of America.
His music dexterity depicts his full-fledged understanding in both Hiplife and Hip Hop at their basics, a knowledge he has utilized to add the loveliest lyrics to his first single, “Boss”, which features La’Trice, who makes her presence known with his distinctive voice and powerful delivery.

‘Boss’ is a well-programmed Hiplife song that can easily get every Tom, Dick, and Harry dance to it without thinking twice. The song basically talks about the hustle he’s gone through in life and the success he’s enjoying today which validates the saying; “Perseverance is the key to the realization of all dreams”.
One distinct thing about Staunch is that, he pays serious attention to details regarding every aspect of his music career; and his music video is a clear example of that.
The picture quality of the music video is exceptional which makes watching it enjoyable. Currently, Staunch is working on a new single which will be released as soon as it’s done.
Though several people have help to bring Papa Staunch’s musical career this far, he says; M.F Chidi remains the strong block behind his success…
