Joy Prime<\/strong> that he did not like the production of the album and that because he wanted to have an excellent piece of work, he decided to rest the project and work on it later.<\/p>\n\u201cMaybe I was just blaming the economy. Maybe the recording didn\u2019t go as well as I imagined.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way I envisaged it, the production I did wasn\u2019t that good,\u201d he noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Okyeame noted that he wasn\u2019t proud of what he had done and blamed it on finances because travelling to other countries to work on some of the recordings required financial muscle.<\/p>\n
He, however, stated that he would repackage the alvum and release later.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think maybe some of the songs are obsolete. We did features from Senegal, some from Ethiopia. Some of the artistes don\u2019t even have the same vibe now. But I think that I will release it,\u201d he told the host Kwame Dadzie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rapper said he worked with the AU at the time as an Ambassador for the African Union My Voice campaign and expected them to help in supporting the \u2018African Connection\u2019 album.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I came up with the idea, I was speaking to them that the African connection album will be an AU project so I pushed to a point and then they couldn\u2019t come through therefore I moved my attention to other things,\u201d he further noted.<\/p>\n
In 2014, Okyeame Kwame announced that he was going to release an album that focuses on the African continent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though he project did not see the light of day, he did a Ghana version of it with his \u2018Made in Ghana\u2019 album which presented stories from the former ten regions in Ghana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The \u2018Made in Ghana\u2019 album featured artistes who come from all the various regions: Kwame Eugene, KiDi, Atongo Zimba, Wiyaala, Wutah Afriyie, Abiana, among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
