"Maybe it is the understanding.
I dey worry, but Hammer still works with me," he remarked with a smile.Tinny, celebrated for popularizing Ga rap in Ghana's hiplife scene, revealed that his musical roots didn't begin with the local dialect he's now known for. "Yeah, I actually started as a Twi rapper.
I was doing more Twi and English than a bit of Ga, but I wasn't a Ga rapper," he shared.
He explained that he initially leaned toward Twi because of its wider appeal. "You see, Twi is the most spoken language in Ghana, so when you're doing something in Twi, you perceive that the faster it will go.
