Through the label, Samini has significantly contributed his quota to the growth of the Ghanaian music industry.<\/p>\n<p>His influence has been tremendous with others suggesting that the success of today\u2019s dancehall music performers may be credited to him. Stonebwoy, Kaakie and Kofi Kinaata are direct beneficiaries of Samini\u2019s generosity.<\/p>\n<p>Samini, once known as Batman signed Kofi Kinaata to his label following the emergence of his debut radio success \u2018Onye Chorus\u2019, since then, he has established him as one of the talented forces to reckon with in the industry. Samini introduced him to larger audience in bigger stages cementing his exposure and relevance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got signed unto the High-grade family when no one knew me. It was Samini that they knew so me tagging along with Samini, his fans became automatically my fans,\u201d he explained<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Samini did for me was give me a lot of exposure,\u201d Kinaata added.<\/p>\n<p>More reason Samini deserves glorious flowers from him, he underscored \u201cWhen Chris Brown came to Ghana, I was now in Accra, Samini brought me to the stage to perform 4 or 5 minutes. Shows I wasn\u2019t billed to perform even though he got me to perform. Samini gave me a lot of exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut he didn\u2019t really discover me. I was doing rap and music way back in 2008 but he pushed me from one stage to the other,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><!-- close relpost-thumb-wrapper --><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded\" id=\"like-post-wrapper-186753398-6009-646783f77d922\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/#blog_id=186753398&amp;post_id=6009&amp;origin=www.onemuzikgh.com&amp;obj_id=186753398-6009-646783f77d922\" data-name=\"like-post-frame-186753398-6009-646783f77d922\" data-title=\"Like or Reblog\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"sd-text-color\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"banner\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1684506435_393_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1684506435_157_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\"  class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-lazy-fallback=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1684506435_393_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 --><\/p>\n<p> <!-- A generated by theme --> <\/p>\n<p> <!-- end A --> <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samini x Kofi Kinaata Multiple award-winning Ghanaian rapper and songwriter Kofi Kinaata has in a recent interview on #UrbanBlend with Blakk Rasta on 3FM,\u00a0 acknowledged the paramount contribution of his former manager, Samini Dagaati to his music career.
