Rapper, Okyeame Kwame has hinted that his �Okyeame Kwame Versatile Show� album, which was carefully guided with poetry lovers in mind, will be released in December. �I am staging the �Okyeame Kwame Versatile Show� at the National Theater to coincide with the album launch in appreciation of my fans who have given me so much. This album provides a lot of education in literature for fans to keep�. He also hinted that the finished copies of his album will include a booklet containing lyrics of all the songs on the album. �This is important because it will indulge listeners by enabling then to have a clear understanding of the verbal aspect of the album, which contains poetic elements for academic and educational purposes�, he explained. Even though some songs on the album have adult themes, he is optimistic that every individual who values education through music can relate to the content. �As you know, Literature modifies and brings new dimensions to one�s thought,� which he believes is what this album is out to achieve. According to the rapper, his heart desire is to see that in some years to come all his music will be translated into more than 20 different international languages for educational purposes simply because of its poetic and communicative elements. He compares himself to Shakespeare saying if Shakespeare�s works were acknowledged years after his death, then Okyeame Kwame�s works will also go places even as he is alive. The �Okyeame Kwame Versatile Show� is the fourth solo album by Okyeame Kwame. The only one of its kind, the Rap Doctor delivers a mixture of English, Twi, and Pidgin (broken English) languages on this album. The album features several popular artistes and producers. On December 14, Okyeame Kwame will perform alongside the featured artists on the �Okyeame KwameVersatile Show�, the National Theater. Artists featured include Kesse, Raquel, Efya, Irene Logan, Nana Yaa, Tinny, Edem, Stone (of Bradez fame) as well as others on the album. The show seeks to fuse together Music, Dance and Theatre on one stage.
