Kingzkid combines Gospel with HipHop and Afrobeats. During Esther's stay in Ghana she discovered his great music, and interviewed him...
Hi Krauselocken, ich bins Esther. Wie ihr wisst, war ich 2014 das erste Mal in Ghana. Musik stand da auf der Tagesordnung und so entdeckte ich auch die Tracks von Kingzkid. Das Besondere an seiner Musik ist, dass er nicht über bitches oder Sex rappt und singt, sondern ganz offen raushängen lässt, dass er Christ ist. Ich selber bin zwar nicht so religiös eingestellt, fand das aber interessant. Darum hier ein Interview mit ihm für euch:
KrauseLocke: Hi
Kingzkid, thanks a lot for giving me the opportunity to interview you. My name
is Esther and I am the founder of KrauseLocke – a german online magazine for cultural,
curly-haircare and afro-german topics. This summer I had the opportunity to
visit Ghana
– my father’s home country – for the first time. During my stays in Accra and Kumasi
I discovered you inspirational and innovative music and want to share it with
my followers and tell them more about you as an artist.
Kingzkid: I'd
like to first of all thank KrauseLocke for granting me this interview. Danke
KrauseLocke: For all our german followers who might not
know you yet – please introduce yourself
Kingzkid: I
started singing in church at around 9 years old and have been
in music since then.Mum says i used to make music with empty cans and tins when
i was about 4 years old.haha.Music has been with me for as long as my memory
goes.
KrauseLocke: The first song I have ever heard from you was “He go do for you”. I
love that song! Pleas tell the KrauseLocke-followers the message of that song?
Kingzkid: "He
Go Do For You" is one of the most personal songs i have written yet.It was
inspired by some real life activies and me cogitating on God's goodness and how
far He has brought me. And to let the world know that God's goodness and
Graciousness does not end with me. He changed my life in the twinkle of an
eye.And He will do same for anyone who trusts Him.
KrauseLocke: What inspires you?
Kingzkid: My
Inspiration stems mainly from God, ,His word,my love for music and personal
experiences and Testimonies
KrauseLocke: What is the message of your music?
Kingzkid: The
message of my music centers around God, His Grace, His love and the Sacrifice
of His son Jesus Christ.My music also tends to inspire people to reach for more
and to be Great
KrauseLocke: You combine gospel lyrics with azonto or
hip hop sounds. Why did you choose to do this?
Kingzkid: My
style of music is eclectic.Not just limited to upbeat (azonto, pop, afro
rythms) or hipop.I mostly write based on inspiration.So the music takes the
form of the inspiration.By God's Grace, i'm blessed with affluence in any style
or genre of music.
KrauseLocke: Do you write all of your lyrics yourself?
Kingzkid: Yes
I write all my lyrics by myself
KrauseLocke: Our website deals with natural beauty and natural hair care, especially
for women. Black females tend to hide their natural beauty; they put weaves on
and relax their hair. What is your opinion to the ideals of beauty in the
society?
Kingzkid: I've
always advocated for natural beauty and natural hair care.I think people should
try hard to maintain their natural beauty.Makeup has a way of concealing the
God giving beauty.
KrauseLocke: What is the biggest prejudice someone had against you?
Kingzkid: My
biggest prejudice will be why i choose to use all my giftings for God and
Gospel music
KrauseLocke: During our research we found out that you successfully
completed your first degree program In Banking and Finance at Central University
College in and currently
hold a Bachelor of Science in Banking and Finance degree. Now you are a great
musician. Why did you choose to make your studies first?
Kingzkid: Education
and preparation are very essential.No matter how big your dreams are,get
some education,at least in the field of your dreams.It adds an extra factor and
opens doors
KrauseLocke: Do you think that you lyrics reflect the lifestyle of the people who
listen to your music?
Kingzkid: My
music is eclectic, and as such reaches to a larger audience. I'm sure it
captures an array of lifestyles as well
KrauseLocke: Your latest song is called “I got my Jesus
on!” and it is a real “gangsta-beat”. The lyrics are the opposite of what we
are usually used to hear in hiphop tracks like that. Can you say something
about the song? What is the message?
Kingzkid: "I
Got Ma Jesus On" is a song for every young Christian out there. Jesus
modules a lot of beautiful things and attributes which are worth emulating. Above
all, He stood for boldness and never took no for an answer. The youth of our
generation need to follow their God- given dreams with all boldness and faith
SHOUTOUT:
Hi! This is your boy Kingzkid a.k.a #Yeahboiy sending a big shoutout to Krause
Locke and all your beautiful fans. Stay Natural,Stay Beautiful!!! #Yeahboiy
