Kwesi Arthur, a Ghanaian award-winning rapper, has just released visuals for his latest single ‘Animal.’ The street anthem, which features fellow Ghanaian singer Dayonthetrack, uses its lyrics to warn leaders whose actions limit the hopes of the society’s young generation.
Although the song is danceable, the music video depicts a group of seemingly upset young men grabbing a corrupt prime minister in the first scene. In the 3:18 video, both Ghanaian stars appear to be leading a vigilante movement.
Directed by David Duncan, the corrupt leader is accosted with loads of cash in his trunk as viewers are led from a shanty residence to a plush settlement where the politician is waylaid, showing the frustration of the growing population in the slums of GHANA.
The BET nominated 27 year old star uses his song ‘animal’ to show the condition of young people and perhaps a warning to what could happen if the needs of the youths are continually neglected. Recall that several Ghanaian stars have in the past months spoken up about the harsh standard of living within the country, with many like Actress Yvonne Nelson even calling out the president H.E Nana Akufo Addo.
