I received reports sometime back that
Trigmatic, known in real life as Nana Oduro Agyei had made a glorious
transition from Hip-hop\Hip life genre of music to Gospel. According to my
informant, this was because the onetime GMAs Best Rapper of the year had “seen
the light” and wanted to dedicate his talent to spreading the word of God and his
Christian life thus creating a more definite relationship with his Creator,
Jehovah.
Some weeks later I got my hands on what
seems to confirm mu sources story that Trig had finaaly flipped the lock on his
Hiphop carreer, a gospel song with Herty BornGreat, a celebrated gospel act in
Ghana. The song named “Kano Seyaa” is by far Triggaman’s first attempt at producing
a full gospel song. Just today there was a single release of the video for the
said song on online platforms. And there's the controversial Azonto dance in the video.

Does this confirm the story that the rapper
had seen the light and made a full transition to singing gospel? Maybe not, but
according to the “Aagyei” rapper, “The light is there for all to see”. However
if it is true, Trigga will be following the footsteps of ace artist now
evangelist, Lord Kenya, who made a full transition last year and released an
accompanying gospel album and more recently Kiiki Banson, Becca’s former
songwriter.
Is the Hip-hop & Hip-life music scene
about to be changed with artists diverging into singing fulltime gospel or is
this just another phase in the development of Ghanaian music? Some even say
that these artists are just hypocrites who wish to secure a ticket to Heaven by
putting up a “nine-day-wonder” religiosity act.
