Ghanaian rapper Kwesi Arthur and his record label, Groundup Chale, were once an inseparable duo.
However, the talented rapper has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the label, and this has influenced other artists to express similar concerns.
DJ Slim has recently released a video addressing the situation in an attempt to deconstruct the issues.
Kwesi Arthur emerged in 2017 and quickly gained prominence with his infectious covers of popular songs and his debut EP, Live From Nkrumahkrom.
He gained recognition on an international level, even being acknowledged by BET. However, his career trajectory in recent times has exposed him to criticism and pressure from fans, who have labeled him as unserious at times.
In 2022, the rapper publicly called out his record label for taking advantage of him and expressed concern for other artists in similar positions.
His colleague, Twitch, also raised similar concerns, prompting DJ Slim to provide an insider’s perspective.
According to DJ Slim, there is more to the issues between Kwesi Arthur and Groundup Chale than what is publicly known.
Netizens have been quick to react to DJ Slim’s account of Kwesi Arthur’s troubles with Groundup Chale, with some expressing concern for the rapper’s career and advising him to take control and stay independent if necessary.
