Eighteen years after composing his first song, FIT- K (an abbreviation of his names Fiagbor Israel Teye-Kodjo) is yet to cross path with fortune for a helping hand that will provide a fertile ground and push him from obscurity into the limelight.
With 12 recorded tracks that are sure to strike the taste buds of contemporary music lovers, and 22 other songs yet to be recorded), FIT- K is still hoping for an opportunity to put on display his inherent rapping skills.
FIT- K’s music is characterised by lyrics that speak on social issues. All 12 recorded tracks combine modern-day feet-moving beats, soothing voice and articulate rap to deliver messages that are sure to appeal to fun-loving music enthusiasts.
Wo Tri Su, the latest of his recorded songs put together by Eddie Kay Beats, plays on the general theme of reward for your action and advocates a more virtuous lifestyle for the good of society.
Other tracks, majority of which are based on the concept of morality including those he composed in his native Krobo/Dangme dialect come with titles such as Vuvuzela, Letter to the Pope, The Warning, The Fruit, among others.
Born in the largely peasant farming community of Obawale in the Yilo Krobo Municipality, FIT-K, a product of the Yilo State Junior High School and Yilo Krobo Senior High School (YIKROSEC) also holds an HND (Accounting) from the Koforidua Polytechnic.
As a budding rapper with a never-dying thirst to spring from behind the scene onto the big stage despite the many challenges he faces, FIT-K’s eyes are fixed on celebrated Ghanaian artistes such as Obrafuor who he describes as his role model.
Apart from Obrafour, he also takes inspiration from other great talents such as Sarkodie, Man.i.fest and Kwaw Kesse.
