Lord Kenya the Ghanaian rap legend and evangelist grabbed attention again through his praise for rising star King Paluta, yet he added a spiritual requirement for any future musical partnership.
The radio host Lord Kenya appeared on Kessben FM to describe King Paluta’s musical style, which causes memories of his initial experiences in music. The hiplife legend who created Sika Baa and Medo did not restrain his admiration for King Paluta.
Lord Kenya identifies King Paluta as an emerging artist whose musical style evokes memories of his early career. He told listeners his musical style during his youth matched the way King Paluta delivers his songs.
The praise brought additional attention to the conversation. As an evangelist after leaving his secular music career twelve years ago, Lord Kenya stated he would consider working with King Paluta only when the rapper makes Christ the centre of his life.
Although music remains a talent from God that he received, he continues to create music.
That is to say, King Paluta can expect a collaboration from Lord Kenya if he decides to accept the Gospel message.
The first requirement for this collaboration is for King Paluta to establish a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as his saviour.
“The two of us can create music to worship God after he makes a personal decision to follow Christ, he emphasized.
