Abubakar Ahmed, better known by his stage name Blakk Rasta, is a well-known Ghanaian Reggae musician and broadcaster who has expressed his unhappiness over the ongoing denial of his demands for musical collaboration by other artists.
Blakk Rasta asked musicians to quit underestimating their contemporaries and advocated for a shift in their perspective.
He stressed to King Lagazee the necessity of a widespread change in the mindset of artists.
When approaching artists for collaboration, the reggae musician was surprised by the surprising responses he got.
Recently, I reached out to a few artists with collaboration proposals, and their responses were quite surprising,” he lamented
Blakk Rasta acknowledged that he has had the chance to work with well-known artists in the past, but he said that collaboration has never been his strong point. He blamed the lack of cooperation, nevertheless, on people who thought their involvement in his recordings would affect the game because they overestimated themselves.
When ego prevails, true unity becomes elusive. If we genuinely want to move forward, we must let go of our egos,” he emphasized.
