LAST year, Wiafe SwiitLypz of defunct music group, Dunsin, got considerable attention with I’m In Love featuring Highlife legend, Oheneba Kissi. He furthered his gains with by releasing One Man No Chop in March this year.
Six months down the line, he drops Black Man, a single on September 25. The song sheds light on the "pull him down syndrome” often seen among people of the Black race, as described by the artiste.
Interestingly, while the message of One Man No Chop promotes selflessness, togetherness, and generosity, urging listeners to embrace African values of community and helping one another, Wiafe SwiitlYpz this time around takes a dig at the Black race for not projecting such values on Black Man.
The song featuring Nad Xclusive takes the duo on a journey of self-introspection, critiquing the lack of unity and support within the Black race.
Wiafe SwiitLypz explained to Graphic Showbiz,in an interview that his belief in uplifting others is the inspiration for One Man No Chop. However, Black Man seeks to encourage listeners to eschew greed and selfishness and be supportive of one another.
“Success isn't meant to be enjoyed alone but shared. However, the spirit of jealousy with the Blackman has made it difficult for people doing well to extend support.
“It’s like in Africa, God doesn’t bless hard work so every success is credited to the devil or using dubious means to achieve it but that is not true. It’s a mediocre thinking so we need to stop that and support one another to grow.
“Today is for someone, tomorrow, it could be you. Don’t pull him or her down when he is climbing to the top. Only crabs do that and this is the message I'm trying to convey through my music,” he said.
Wiafe Swiitlypz is a member of defunct music trio Dunsin, made up of himself, Ernest Obeng aka Omega and Ahmed Kenneh Larweh aka Sparqlyin.
Created in 2003, Dunsin was a force to be reckoned with back then with hit songs such as Fefeefe, Oyadieyie and Falaa.
However, the trio, who had shown lots of potential broke up in 2018 and members went their separate ways.
After almost an eight-year hiatus, Wiafe SwiitLypz returned to the music scene as a solo artiste with a single, Abba Father in May last year.
