He explained that the genre had been considered by many, especially the elderly, as devoid of significant content.
"I realized that Hiplife at that time was reserved for young people. The elderly did not belong to it because the words of the songs of that time conveyed no meaning. People thought it was an empty noise. So I told myself that it would take someone of the caliber of the palace hangman to bring mental health to Hiplife, "he said.
The rapper said his friends initially called him "Rap Sofo" because the content of his songs was "deeply cut".
He added that he chose to add "Obrafour" to "Rap Sofo" at the time because of his desire to purge the genre of any negativity.
But he has already gone beyond this stage and only wants to be known as Rap Sofo.
