Early life and education

[edit]

Derrick Kantanka was born and raised in Ejisu, Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. He attended KNUST Senior High School.[7] Amerado is currently pursuing a degree in Political Science at the University of Ghana.[8]

Music career

[edit]

After placing third at the Solid FM Freestyle Show in 2015, Amerado caught the attention of music producer, sound engineer and A&R, Azee Ntwene, who signed the rapper to his label MicBurnerz Music.[9][10] Amerado was featured on a song by Mix Master Garzy intended to promote peace around the 2016 Ghanaian general election.[11] The following year, Amerado released his first single I AM,[12] which Pulse Ghana included among their top 10 Ghanaian songs in January 2017.[13] He released his first EP Rapmare that November.[14] In 2018, Amerado was featured on Sarkodie's hip-hop song "Biibi Ba",[15][16] which was nominated for the Best Hiphop Song at the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.[17]

On 8 August 2019, Ghanaian disc jockey DJ Black released a list of the country's top 50 rappers, ranking Amerado in the forties.[18][importance?] On 1 October 2020, Reggie Rockstone, a significant figure in the Ghanaian music genre hiplife, described Amerado as one of the most talented rappers to emerge from Ghana.[19]

In 2020, Amerado joined Shatta Wale and other rappers in Kumasi to release Ahodwo Las Vegas.[20][21] In August 2021, Amerado had a freestyle and interview session with Tim Westwood on Capital Xtra in London.[22] GRM Daily reported his freestyle session as one of the best on the show.[23]

Amerado released his second extended play Patience on 26 October 2021, featuring Black Sherif, Shatta Wale, Fameye, YPee and Kweku Flick, with production from Azee Ntwene, Izjoe Beatz, Samsney and ItzCJ Madeit. The EP peaked at No. 1 on music streaming platforms Apple Music, Audiomack, Boomplay and YouTube.[24][25][26][27][28] The EP was adjourned the BEST EP at the 2022 3Music Awards.[29] Amerado is the first Kumasi-based artist to win the Rapper of the Year award at the 3Music Awards. In May 2020, Audiomack listed Amerado in Top 10 African Artists to look out for which also featured A-Reece, Nandy, Joey B and others.[30]

On 25 October 2022, Amerado released his debut studio album, G.I.N.A, which featured S1mba, Fameye, Eno Barony, Laioung, Efya, Gidochi, Lasmid and Epixode.[31]

According to a post published by Peacefmonline.com, Amerado is the first rapper from Kumasi to win the Best Rapper award at both the Ghana Music Awards and the 3Music Awards.[32]

Amerado in an interview with Jackson Mvunganyi of VOA stated that, his failed aspiration to become a football star led him to do music.[33]On 4th December 2024, he became the third Ghanaian artiste to receive a certification plaque by Audiomack for hitting the 100 million streams milestone.[34]

Style

[edit]

Amerado raps and sings mostly in the Twi dialect of the Akan language of Ghana, but he sometimes uses English as well. His stage name, Amerado, which means 'Governor' in Akan, was chosen to assert his command of the music scene.[35][36]

Brand ambassador

[edit]

Amerado is the brand ambassador for Ghana-made chocolates, an initiative of the Ghana Cocoa Board.[37] He wrote the song "Ghana Chocolate" to promote the campaign.[38] He has also worked with Vodafone Ghana, AirtelTigo, HD Plus, GoTV, Cheezzy Pizza and other brands.[39][40]
