Ghanaian rapper Medikal has acknowledged feeling underappreciated in the country’s music scene.
He feels that his distinct style and diligence have not been given the credit and acknowledgment they merit.
In an interview with Hitz FM that 1Family Radio carried, Medical talked about some of his achievements and said he has been able to distinguish between his personal persona and his artist image.
“Sometimes, I feel like I’m underrated. I know how to dissociate myself from the brand. I sit down sometimes and watch my shows, and I’ll be like, ‘This guy is dope.’ That’s why I have been able to remain relevant for a long time. It’s not easy,’’ he stated.
While he’s not ungrateful, Medikal continued, stating that he feels undervalued for all of his hard work and that Ghanaians should give him more credit.
“I feel underrated; they should give me my flowers. I’m not trying to sound ungrateful; I just feel like there should be more light thrown at me. I am a very hardworking guy, so Ghanaians shouldn’t sleep on me. More attention should be given to me,’’ he added.
When asked if his unique style would be a factor in the lack of attention, Medikal defended it by saying, “I’m doing everything right. Just that my style is different, people find it hard to accept it.’’
