The Conscious Rappers ? Asaase Ase

People will be wondering what the name 'Asaase Ase' means. Let me make it easy by telling internet surfers what Ras Putin (the sound engineer, producer and manager of Asaase Ase) had to say about the family – Asaase Ase. “Asaase Ase means pure rap and more underground stuff".

Comprising of members like TTL, Bandana, Bodamfuo, Odwomtofuo, Bigger, Seazfire, Shocky-Joe, Osansa, Grave Digger, Ancestor, Osebo, some underground sound engineers and more,? this is Ras Putin’s (a sound engineer) way of bringing conscious rappers together.

These views may sound odd coming from the Dansoman based group, but Ras, a down-to-earth guy, continues that Asaase Ase is still hiplife music but their lyrical content makes it different.

Asaase Ase is a frontline kind of music that is set to change the music industry. They claim they will still maintain the hip-hop feeling but it will be in local hiplife.

Asaase Ase have promised coming out with a unique compilation album before coming out with their solo albums.

Speaking to Ras Putin, he said, “Our Stagecraft and appearance will be different from other musicians. We have disciplined lyrical content and we hope with this medium we can collaborate with foreign artistes.

Underground music in Ghana is an area not exactly noted for its fertile hiplife scene in Ghana. However, what members of Asaase Ase are saying is that they are hot and ever ready when it comes to music. All they need is one mic.

They are coming, the train has started moving, producers, and promoters should call in for shows, collaborations or music deals on 233 27 766 4881 or 233 24 373 9552. Watch out for Asaase Slam Tour this August plus their compilation, which will be targeted for West Africa.

“Also with Asaase Ase, education is their number one priority”, Bodamfuo added.
