Singing has always been part of me, so the switch from rapping wasn’t difficult for me – King Paluta
Ghanaian music sensation King Paluta has opened up about his evolution as an artist, revealing that his recent venture into singing is not a surprise, but a natural extension of who he has always been. Speaking on Music Plus with Mr. Bonez on Kessben TV, the “Aseda” hitmaker explained that singing has always been a part of his artistry, ven during his hardcore rap days.
“Singing has always been in me,” King Paluta said confidently. “Back then, I was doing more rap because that’s what the people were demanding. The fans wanted hardcore bars, punchlines, wordplay and I gave them that. But even then, I had melodies inside me.”
Known for his lyrical prowess and dynamic flow, King Paluta made a name for himself as one of Ghana’s most promising rappers. His rap style, heavily influenced by deep Twi expressions and street-smart lyricism, earned him a loyal fanbase. However, his recent tracks have showcased a more melodic, emotional side of the artist, an evolution that has surprised many but felt authentic to him.
“I didn’t switch because I was tired of rap,” he clarified. “I just felt it was time to express a different side of me. I’m still a rapper, but now I’m letting people see the full picture of who King Paluta is.”
During the interview, Mr. Bonez asked whether the change was influenced by industry pressure or a new creative direction. King Paluta made it clear that it was more about timing and fan expectations.
“At that time, the streets wanted rap, they needed a voice that could speak their truth with fire bars, and I did that. But music is about growth. You don’t stay in one place forever. Now, I feel free to do both, rap and sing, depending on how I want to express myself,” he said.
King Paluta’s versatility has already begun to show results. His recent releases, which blend singing and rap, have received widespread acclaim, topping charts and resonating with a broader audience. Tracks like “Aseda” and “Yahitte” highlight his ability to switch effortlessly between catchy hooks and sharp verses, proving that his evolution is more of an expansion than a departure.
