Martin King Arthur, known in the Ghanaian music industry as Kofi Kinaata, is one of the few award holders who, over the years, have shown Ghanaians that a young artist can be as powerful as the old ones.
He uses his tribe and home language, Fante, to write his songs and has never changed to use another, except Ahanta, which happens to be his mother’s spoken language. He earned the name Fante rap god because of how he magically uses the language to call hits every year.
Kofi Kinaata was born on the 15th of April in Effia Kuma, Takoradi, in the year 1990. The genres of music he used in his songs are Highlife and hiplife.
