The #BehindTheHitz challenge that was started by award-winning Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, to make old and new music producers, musicians compete among one another just to entertain their fans in this period of COVID-19.
During one of such sessions between producers, Ghanaian music producer, Kaywa says he strongly believes that celebrated sound engineer Zapp Mallet is Ghana’s all-time best producer.
Kaywa also believes that Zapp Mallet has over the years influenced and inspired a lot of music producers in the country.
In addition to the challenge, #BehindTheHitz has also seen producers face off in throwback sessions of their hit songs on Twitter.
“…for me Zapp has brought me there I won’t lie to you”, even though he believes some people may think otherwise but Zapp Mallet trust me…[is the best],” he told Mz Gee on Accra-based 3FM.
He was however quick to admit the uniqueness of each music producer
“even though I will say that Zapp Mallet brought us to where we are right now we have all contributed our quota… Listening to all of us, we are all unique.”
Last week, Zapp Mallet took a swipe at Sarkodie for pairing him with producers he deemed as not his co-equal.
Sarkodie had invited Zapp Mallet, Jay Q, Appietus, Kaywa, Hammer, and MoG to join the challenge.
The veteran producer, known for the production of several hit songs including Daasebre Gyamenah’s ‘Kokooko’, Akyeame’s ‘Mesan Aba’ and Kofi B’s ‘Mmobrowa’, said is it disrespectful of Sarkodie to pair him with these producers.
“There is something called respect which is lacking in Ghana today. For instance, you don’t compare somebody who was churning out hits before you made Kindergarten with your mate who just started a couple of years back. Show some respect, You will also get there,” a very unhappy Zapp Mallet (Emmanuel Mallet) tweeted.
