Highlife musician Kofi Nti has said that although their songs are old, they are still the best because of the quality of the lyrics.
According to Kofi Nti, although the new songs in the system are good, none of them come close to the old songs in terms of lyrics and quality instrumentation. He explained that the comparison between these two songs (old and new) is like comparing oranges to melons.

“It is no surprise songs from our time and before us are always evergreen. In fact, I miss our days when the likes of Ofori Amponsah, KK Fosu, Nana Agyemang, and Kontihene among others were performing wonders with their songs. When you play an old song today, you will realize it has all the elements that make a song unique and although songs of today are not bad, I just believe our rock and are much better,”.
Touching on what he misses during ‘his days’, Kofi Nti revealed, “I miss when myself, Ofori Amponsah, Barosky were all over the place entertaining Ghanaians with our music. We played at almost every show at that time and it was a good feeling”.

Commenting on staying relevant as a musician, Kofi Nti said, “it is not easy for an artiste to remain relevant for years. Musicians such as Okyeame Kwame, Daddy Lumba, Kojo Antwi etc have managed to do it and I can only commend them. It takes a genius to do that and they have done a good job of that”.
