K.K Fosu has called on highlife musicians to put in more efforts to help keep the music genre alive.

According to the World Map records signee, the insurgence of other genre of music possesses a great risk to the existence of the Ghanaian highlife music.

“We need more voices in highlife and some publicity. Highlife musicians should wake up and find new ways of promoting their

music like the new path dancehall artistes are taking, where their music is spread across,” K.K Fosu said.

The hiplife musician added that it would be very important to re-brand highlife, but not necessarily changing the face of the music.

“We need to flood the industry with more songs and I believe it’s time we brand highlife to suit the system.

I also urge entertainment outfits to support the highlife music because it belongs to us,” KK Fosu stated.

He also lauded the efforts of Kuami Eugene, Kidi and the other young ones for their efforts in giving highlife a new face,

and urged the old ones to be vibrant in the music industry.

Gradually, our musicians are leaving behind the ‘idea’ of solely depending on their talents for survival.

This according to some is due to the fact that music is no longer paying as it used to.

Others too believe that, there’s the need for multiple sources of income for better survival skills.

A few have already gone on ahead are are actually reaping massively in their new businesses.

Hiplife aristes, K.K Fosu has also joined his colleagues and has moved from the studios to the pitch.

According to the “Yapesi” hit maker, he has players in Europe and Asia he manages and with time, they will become great assets he will be making more money from.

“I went outside the country. I went into football management. I manage footballers; I have footballers outside the country. I nurture them. I am doing some courses on football management. I have players in Europe, Asia. My investment in football will make me one of the richest artistes in Ghana in the next five (5) to ten (10) years. I started doing this in 2002. Ask Sly Tetteh and he will testify. I kept this from the public eye”, KK Fosu made this known in an interview with Suncity Radio.

Although KK Fosu failed to mention the names of the players he’s currently managing outside Ghana. However, we are optimistic he’ll get positive results in some years to come.

He also admitted that managing footballers is not that easy but he’s determined to take his players as far as he could.

As a reminder, KK Fosu used to manage Stars FC, a second division football team at Mamprobi in Accra. This presupposes that he had football administration at heart from day one.

We wish him all the best in his new endeavors.
