At just 22 years old, Kwame, the Ghanaian Sydney-based producer, writer, rapper and engineer is one of the most recognisable names in Australian music – known for delivering witty lyricism and diverse production. First heard on triple j’s Good Nights, STOP KNOCKIN’ @ MY DOOR! marks the bold beginning of a new project coming in 2020.
Inspired by the intrinsic desire of every artist for creative evolution, STOP KNOCKIN’ @ MY DOOR! is his most ambitious to date. Unabashedly deviating from the new wave sonics his fans have previously come to know Kwame for, the song serves as a sample heavy statement piece built from a motivational standpoint.
“The use of the repetitive sample chop on the line ‘Stop Knocking’ is meant as a constant force, a shield and message for any trouble, negativity and sadness to steer clear from my presence,” Kwame says. Ever the optimist, Kwame’s message is to “never, EVER allow someone’s dark thoughts to cloud over you. We do exactly what we want, when we want, how we want. We now embark on a new culture forming right in front of our eyes.”
