I Write My Own Lyrics – D-Black

Ghanaian rapper, D-Black has revealed that he is the brain behind the lyrics of every song

he has released since his journey in music began years ago.

The Black Avenue Music boss added that the reason he writes his own lyrics is because his

songs relate to incidents he has experienced personally.

According to him, it will be difficult for him to ask a fellow musician to write his lyrics

because they can’t relate to his lifestyle and experiences.

“It’s something I cannot do… it’s not a part of me. I feel like as an artiste you should tell your story from inside you, so another person writing for you would take away that vibe, so I will tell the story myself in whichever way I can,” he disclosed in an interview on Hitz FM.

However, the rapper, known in private life as Desmond Blackmore says if he was to hire a Ghostwriter he would select either M.anifest or Obrafour because of their storytelling abilities.

“…If anybody is to write for me, it has to be someone who is telling a story I have not experienced. So, it depends on the song I’m trying to create, M.anifest is a great story writer, Obrafour… if anything, those two.”

The multiple award-winning artiste clarified that, he was not against rappers who employ the services of Ghostwriters to pen their raps.

“Everybody is different, I’m talking about me, it’s really difficult to have another person write for me.” he explained.

There Are Many ‘Talented But Broke Artistes’ In Ghana – D Black

Ghanaian rapper, entrepreneur and Black Avenue Music Boss, D-Black has made some shocking revelations about show business.

The ‘Vera’ hitmaker is of the view that, success in any kind of business or even showbiz cannot be solely achieved based on talent alone.

D Black bluntly admitted that there are better rappers than him but are struggling to become successful.

D-Black, born Desmond Blackmore was speaking in an interview with Ghanaweb.

According to him these “talented broke rappers” out there do not have the ability to afford “the machinery or business acumen enough to push what they’re doing,’ in order to be ‘wealthy’ like him.

D-Black blatantly admitted that “It’s not just about talent” that makes musicians relevant.

He further added that, there are rappers who are as good as or even better than Sarkodie and Guru. These rappers, according to him may have found success in the rapping game. But they may have still not found their big break in Showbiz at large.

To him, apart from not being business minded, a potential rapper is bound to fail if he lacks a business driven team.

One which he added may not have the mindset to push that rapper to the point of success.

He labelled them as “talented broke artistes” while emphasizing the importance of having a “business savvy team.”

One who would compensate for the talent’s lack of basic business skills.

D Black is positive the combination of talent and business making skills would contribute greatly to the success of young artistes.

Meanwhile, D-Black is not the only artistes who believes most of their colleagues are living a fake life.

Other artistes,including Shatta Wale and celebs have also in one way or the other admitted to this assertions.

 

 

 

I Care Less About ‘Bad Rapper’ Tag Because I Know My Audience – D Black

Ghanaian rapper Desmond Blackmore, best known as D-Black has stated that he’s not at all perturbed about being tagged as a ‘bad rapper.’

He however boasted of a very successful career in rap music that has span over nine years. Not forgetting him clocking along the way, awards in cities around the world.

“I’ve performed my music all over the world, won awards all over the world, sold albums.” Casually dropping in “hit songs” that he has blessed the ears of his fans across the globe with.
