Calibre to make a difference with Anaji

The Hip Hop industry gets competitive by the day with the emergence of new talents. One of such talents who says he is ready to bring a different trend to the rap scene is Ato Kwamena Calibre.

Calibre who is Takoradi-based has been doing music professionally since 2011 and believes he is now ready to take on the industry.

Real name, Dennis Opoku, Calibre is currently promoting his single, Anaji(Snnit Drive) which was produced by Accra-based sound engineer, Lord Aux.

Speaking with Graphic Showbiz last week, Calibre said the title of the song was inspired by his surroundings growing up.

“I am setting myself from the ordinary rap dudes who pop up every now and then. Anaji (Snnit Drive) is the neighbourhood where I lived while growing up. The title signals the beginning of a journey of greatness,” he stated.

Anaji (Snnit Drive), a 3.16 minutes rap song rendered in English and Fante which has Calibre bragging about his uniqueness in the rap industry. 

He raps that “he is a 90s kid with a vintage brain whose peers are the gone souls and a different breed woven from God's tailor and a God who plans to stay forever”.

The graduate of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) believes his ability to fuse hardcore HipHop with rap music topped with his native Fante language and English makes his style different from others.

Signed to Def Nation Music label, the rapper who is influenced by 2Pac, T.I, J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar has his music inspirations from legendary musician, Gyedu Blay Ambolley.

“In this market, it is difficult to get the attention of many people as you desire when you are a rapper. Many who started rapping like Kofi Kinaata and Nero X all had to switch at some point to sing because people don't give them much audience.

“I hope to change that perception even for the future generation to believe that it can be done," he asserted.

Calibre is currently working on his EP titled Encrypted Memoir which he plans to release in October this year.
