He further added that he has nurtured many Ghanaian artistes who are now successful in the music industry. He mentioned Mugeez of R2bees, Stonebwoy, Kaakie and Kofi Kinaata as some of the few artistes he has helped. He continued that Kofi Kinaata is the next big thing in Ghana.

“For now Kofi Kinaata is the next big thing in Ghana. He will be better than Sarkodie. I can bet onthat because he is from my camp.”

“Kwaw Kese is an awesome Fante rapper doing his own thing and Kofi Kinaata is also a Fante rapper who is not rapping like Kwaw Kese. So when I heard him it sounded fresh and different to me. Then again he wasn’t rapping like Sarkodie. So when you are coming and you don’t sound as another rapper, then you standout which means you have a brighter future”

Samini disclosed that the reviews the Highgrade family record label has heard about Kofi Kinaata are all positive which proves that he is the next big rapper in Ghana.

According to the 2008 Headies “African Artiste of the Year” award winner, he does not have any major regret for these years he has been in the music industry. He takes any unfortunate thing which comes his way as something that should happen before the next minute comes so “life still goes on from there”.
