OKYEREMA, the Afrocentric musical genius and virtuoso of the “Adekye Nsroma” fame has delved deep into himself and has come out as OKYEREMA X15.
This salient decision by the artist to go through with the name change from mere OKYEREMA to OKYEREMA X15 was informed by a trinity of impetus. The trinity of impetus that moved the “Adekye Nsroma” hitmaker to change his name to OKYEREMA X15 are:
The name Okyerema is a divine title for certain kinds of musicians in the Akan/Ghanaian/African tradition and culture.
That this musician called Okyerema is the communicator of the Gods and the people. He sends divine messages by way of rhythmic waves of the drum beaten into tunes of divine music. And every Okyerema’s music is to invoke positive action. Hence every Okyerema has his name to the title, such as OKYEREMA KWAME.
And this musician has earned this title over the years of carrying divine messages between the Gods and the people. The next impetus is the choice of adding the letter X to his already established name OKYEREMA. The X thickly means the Known and the Unknown.
His versatility in both UNDERGROUND and MAINSTREAM culture. X means OKYEREMA is an extra musician, artist and performer. He is the musical Malcom X to preach the revolutionary song to the masses called the PEOPLE. In short, OKYEREMA is an extra man and musician extra.
Now the last impetus for the choice of adding the number 15 to his name was deeply informed by his Hip Hop roots as the founding member of the rap group called CAMP15, formerly called ASHANTIMONKFUNK, which is a fifteen-letter-word.
Thus, on this basis, OKYEREMA X15 is the same old ‘G’ Hip Hop head and Highlife virtuoso that we know and admire so much over the years. This explanation into his new change of name and brand is to help you appreciate that he’s coming out with new hits and projects that will depict his 15th dimensional consciousness to his fans and the world at large.
This is OKYEREMA X15 for you now, so brace yourself for the ride into the bright revolutionary future.
