Twi Pop general, D Cryme has revealed that music in Ghana is not paying and most of the artiste are doing it because of the passion.Â
According to D Cryme, they invest alot into the music business but there are no returns.
“What is going on in the music industry is that you put in a lot to get your work out there but you get nothing in return or you get a little. It takes a lot of work for an artiste to produce and shoot a video for a song; in the 2000s it was ok, music was worth pursuing but now it is not at all,†he told Graphic Showbiz.â€
The “Kill Me Shy†hitmaker also added that a lot of artistes are still doing music because of the passion they have for it and not because of the financial rewards.
“Most of the guys you see out there are doing this because of the passion they have for the work and not what they will get financially, I know people who have hung up their music boots because of this,†he added.
D Cryme who is celebrating 10 years in the music business came into the limelight when he dropped his first single “Kill Me Shyâ€. He has since dropped other singles and an EP called “Unexpectedâ€.
Meanwhile, rapper Medikal in a recent interview with JoyFM's 'Drive Time' host, Lexis Bill revealed that music in Ghana in paying for him, and that is what fans see on his social media pages.Â
Host, Lexis Bill threw the question at him that where does he get the money to buy those flashy cars he's always showing on his Instagram page and he said;
"In every situation, just adjust yourself and be grateful, for me I'm always grateful, I can't complain. there's someone out there trying to make it as a musician so if I'm recognised and I'm getting paid no matter how little it is I'm leaving good and my family is good" he said.
