Mark Okraku Mantey on importance of lyrics in music

“Lyrics matter and are very important. I listen to lyrics and make sure it hits your soul. We must appreciate people who write deeply. Unfortunately, in our award schemes we don’t put spotlight on that”

“Personally I do not listen to lyrics because of my production side. My interest is the mixing and value. If its commerce I make sure it becomes a hit. If you take junk in terms of lyrics it shows. How you’re nurtured shows the kind of person you are just as music. The songs you listen to make you who you are”

“To those who understand the language, lyrics matters to them [even though] People do things for talk abilities and get the hits. That’s the intent”
