“I’m taking Ghana to the whole world, I’m trying to make sure that people out there will appreciate African talent and the way we can do that is to go there ourselves and make them recognize where we are coming from,” he added.

Rapper and sound engineer, EL explained the rationale behind his latest songs, "Without a Crown" and "All Black’ which features Pappy Kojo and Joey B. “Beautiful girls inspire me a lot, beauty is a thing of inspiration, if you don’t get by beauty then you have a problem, so looking at beautiful things, admiring beautiful things and taking in beautiful things inspire me.”

EL,"One Ghana" rapper, 31, revealed , Hip pop in Ghana has attained new heights and he is glad the fans are appreciating their work. “We are taking it outside, I’m like a marketer, everywhere I go I’m always talking about hiphop acts from Ghana. I’m talking about Sarkodie, M.anifest, Edem and I’m always pushing, people are responding to them. So, our future is looking really bright, it’s up to us to work hard to make sure that we are recognised".
