Legendary rapper Michael Elliot Kwabena Okyere Darkoh, best known as Obrafour has revealed that he has no plans of retiring from music anytime soon.
According to the ‘Moesha’ crooner, not until death takes him from the land of the living, he won’t retire from active music in order to pave way for upcoming artists.
On the program dubbed Central Dryve on Radio Central hosted by Amansan Krakye, Obrafour was asked whether he will retire from music or go on pension anytime soon because it’s been two decades now.
“I’m not sure there is pension in music, when God gives you music talent you can do it till death, all you need is the strength. I may go on pension if God calls me to glory or gives me different work, but it until then I will still be doing active music,” he replied.
Amansan Krakye went on to ask that, some of the new artistes think it’s about time people like him retire in order to pave way for the new talents.
“In this world you can’t rule forever because everything has an end. I wouldn’t agree if someone says new crop of artistes are emerging so the old ones should retire because experience is very important. We need to be there to help and guide the young ones. Until we die we will still be in the game”, he added.
He has actually nurtured a lot of talents including Sarkodie, Stonebwoy and the likes now reigning the Ghanaian music industry.
Ghanaian Hiplife artiste, Michael Elliot Kwabena Okyere Darko, popularly known as Obrafour has stated emphatically that no Ghanaian rapper can rap better than him.

“Everybody has his opinion. I believe in what I do and I live in my convictions. I’m not conforming to any particular rules in the game. You can’t predict Obrafour because where you expect him to rap, he’ll rather sing and the vice-versa. Look, let me make this clear. I can rap and I don’t think there’s anybody in this country that can rap better than I do”, Obrafour asserted.
