“Supremo took people by surprise because they thought I have
deviated from my style. I am an artist and the moment you can predict what I can
do, I stop being an artist. If you have been following from the time I came out
with my first album, you would know that I like and love experimenting. I love
to take my fans on a journey…a journey that we have never embarked on before. I
think that has been my weapon. We win and sometimes loss some. It doesn’t work
all the time but when it does, you win big time,” he got candid.

“I know what God what has planted in me but others may not
know about that. I heard a lot of sarcastic comments when I was not releasing
new songs…but as an artist you have to look for the right time, the right
moment to release your songs. Right now I am not producing more works to become
famous…I am just building on that legacy. Those listening to you won’t
understand you if they do not know your direction,” Kojo Antwi disclosed.

“When I was doing the Superman album, Sikadam was not part of
songs that I considered as one of my main trump card that I was holding but
Sikadam has stood the test of time more than most of the songs on the album.
Sometimes it is not what you the artist perceived will be embraced by the
audience. I have never been scared of taken chances or risks. Short cuts are
dangerous,” he added.
