It\u2019s not as if I was new in the system but the year gave me a good reason to hope for better days in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>I got the attention many equally talented young artistes are still struggling to get and I\u2019m so grateful to Ghanaians for the support,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Among his many blessings he recounted were the release of songs such as Oh Yeah, Thank God, Double Trouble featuring Sarkodie and the new Selfish which is getting a lot of airplay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy team and I were very hopeful when we dropped Selfish. It was ready at the time Oh Yeah was released but we planned to hold on for a while and its success has been inspiring,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>King Promise\u2019s talent is not being appreciated only in Ghana but outside as well. In December last year, British-born Nigerian producer and recording artiset, Maleek Berry, commended him after his performance at the Detty Rave concert at the La Pleasure Beach.<\/p>\n<p>King Promise acknowledges that such endorsements are morale boosters for him. Managed by renowned sound engineer, Kill Beatz who produced Selfish, the young graduate is looking forward to another promising year to churn out good songs.<\/p>\n<p>As the awards season begins, King Promise\u2019s name is being mentioned alongside others for trophies but he says that isn\u2019t his focus now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy aim is to produce songs my fans can relate to. Although awards are important, my main focus is to produce good songs and take Ghanaian music worldwide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music of Thursday, 11 January 2018 Source: Graphic.com.gh 2018-01-11 Afrobeats artiste, King Promise For an industry which doesn\u2019t favour young artistes, it\u2019s always great to gain attention in the mainstream and Afrobeats artiste, King Promise can\u2019t be thankful enough for the favour 2017 brought him.
