A mechanic, Tico Tico, of Dichemso Fitting shop has emerged winner of maiden rap competition “Fita Mu Rap” in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
“Fita Mu” rap competition, is an initiative designed for mechanics to showcase their lyrical prowess.
The winner, Tico Tico, received a cash prize, a recording and promotion deal as well as a holiday trip.
The show took place for nearly eight weeks from February 5, 2021 and ended on March 26, 2021, at the Suame Park, Kumasi.
According to the organisers the concept was also put together to serve as a medium to entertain mechanics and encourage them to bring out their hidden talent.
The organisers, Synpic Origin Media Production, told The Spectator that they believed that most individuals engaged in such fields had a lot of hidden talents but, lack of support had killed their talent and desire to sing.
They added that for this reason the team decided to prove such platforms for the various fitting shops in Kumasi to compete for the ultimate.
Also, Evidence of Santasi fitting shop placed the second position, whereas Theo Ranks of Tafo fitting shop occupied the third position.
For their prizes, they received a recording and promotion deal.
The organisers expressed appreciation to Asaki Tools, the main sponsor, Dr Amuzu Herbal Clinic, Time Herbal Centre, Paradise Resorts and Adonko Next Level for their immense support.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
