In my opinion, I think Appietus’ reign has just begun. If anyone doubts me, they should listen to 5Five’s “African Girls,” Ebo’s “Once Twice,” and the brand new “Sweetie” by Andy featuring Samini just to mention a few. As I said before, nowadays I have to hear Appietus in the Mix to believe his golden hands was at work again. I am one of the many people who are truly happy to see Appietus finally shining. This young chap had been working hard behind the scene without any recognition. Back then he did all of Sydney’s songs such as “Apuskeleke”, “Scenti No.” and many more. Nevertheless, no one gave him props. He started getting a little nod when he did “Rakia.” But in February of 2005 or 2006, I can’t recall the exact year, but I was listening to Fiifi Banson of Peace FM(via ghanatoday.com) when I heard the most beautiful song I hadn’t heard in a long time. I later leant the song was called “Otoolege.” Before the song even became popular, I predicted it would catapult Ofori Amponsah, Kofi Nti, Barosky, and Appietus into fame beyond even their own dreams. I put that prediction right here on ghanamusic.com back then before they did the redesign. Today, not only I am I vindicated, the guys especially Appietus are all getting rewarded like they should. I hope Appietus had taken a lesion from Jay Q, and remember that variety in the spice of life.

I mentioned this very issue when i wrote a comment for mzbell 1 on 1. “it seems appeatus has the game on lock…jay-q’s boring old jama beats…” that is what i wrote then. i used to like jay q myself, but his stuff has become predictable. sometime u hear a nice song some where, u think “damn, this song is all that” suddenly u hear “appietus in the mix” on the song, then u go “whoa”. appietus has created a variety of sounds, i hope he doesn’t become redundant like others have been.
