I cannot tell people you don\u2019t need to switch and all that. Its even cool because it shows their versatility and stuff so fas as it is putting food on the table,\u201d he told 3Xtra\u2019s Kwaku King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, unlike the others, rap music is really \u201cpaying him\u201d and he cannot switch to singing anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Strongman did not rule out any possibility about him switching to singing stressing that as far as he is human, he must adapt to the trend when it becomes necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, rapper EL in an interview last month explained that rap music is \u2018fading away\u2019 due to the low attention span for rap music is the reason rappers are switching to singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said music consumers now prefer fast-paced, catchy music over wordy lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe market we are in now, the attention span is very, very, very small. In my opinion nobody really has the time to listen to a lot of content, a lot of words, within the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe that in this ecosystem in which we are in right now, people just want to have fun. A lot of people just want to listen to a catchy song, catchy lyrics, and a danceable tune,\u201d he stated during an interview on Hitz FM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghanaian rapper, Strongman has shared his opinion on the current trend of rappers switching to singing.
