Okyeame Kwame urges Praye Tietia, Choirmaster to give Ghanaians new album

Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame has called on former Praye members, Praye Tietia and Choirmaster, to return to the studio and give their fans a new album, saying music lovers have waited long enough for their comeback.

“We, the die-hard fans, have waited for too long,” Okyeame Kwame said on Sunday at the final funeral rites of the late actress Beverly Afaglo Baah, wife of Eugene Baah, popularly known as Choirmaster.

His appeal appeared to strike a chord with Praye Tietia, who hinted that the iconic hiplife group could be preparing for a comeback.

According to Praye Tietia, the group marked its 21st anniversary last year, and plans were underway to put things together as they commemorate their 22nd anniversary.

Praye, comprising Tietia, Choirmaster and Praye Tenten, became one of Ghana’s prominent hiplife groups after emerging from the maiden edition of the Nescafé African Revelation competition.

The group went on to win major awards and build a strong following with hit songs before the members eventually pursued separate careers.

The prospect of a reunion has therefore generated excitement among fans who have continued to cherish the group’s music.

Okyeame Kwame’s call for a new album, coupled with Tietia’s hint about plans for the group’s 22nd anniversary, could signal the beginning of a new chapter for Praye.

For many Ghanaian music lovers, a Praye comeback would not only be a reunion of three celebrated musicians but also a return to an era that helped shape the sound of Ghanaian hiplife.
