OUTRO ft. THE SOULMAN Lyrics

Good evening and welcome to the show. Tonight, I am hanging out with the Award-Winning Poet & Spoken Word Artiste, Nana Fredua-Agyeman Jnr., an absolute wordsmith

It's great having this chit-chat with you. Congratulations on your accolades and recognition particularly the consideration of your maiden album, 'Ponder' for nomination at the 65th Grammy Awards

Soulman: What is your driving force for spoken word poetry?

Nana Fredua-Agyeman Jnr.: The unending issues concerning humanity has always been my driving force. Ultimately, I'm convicted to be driven by a higher power which is in tune with my purpose in life.

Soulman: Kudos on the release of your second album. What's your inspiration behind this album?

Nana Fredua-Agyeman Jnr.: This album was inspired by my push to contribute my quota by addressing a diverse issue to my craft. Also, my resolve for continuity and to feed the numerous hearts and minds my work has touched across the globe as build up

Soulman: What does your creative process entail?

Nana Fredua-Agyeman Jnr.: It usually begins with a minute detail. Then, when I further explore the theme and get a eureka moment, my process takes off in a systematic or scattered progression but eventually leads to what I envisage as the task for the art. I do not force any of my works. I have material that came in a heartbeat and others that I've been working on for a while

Soulman: How do you intend to use your artistry to change retrogressive narratives?

Nana Fredua-Agyeman Jnr.: As a custodian of culture, I'm dutifully bound to help make the world a better place than I met it. Therefore, it's imperative to measure the impact of my artistry. I do this by tackling sticky subject matters to initially the subject discussable and open it up for debate. The ones that are perceptional will erode overtime. However, those that bemoan swift responses will be addressed squarely

Soulman: What's the most impactful moment since you began your artistic career?

Nana Fredua-Agyeman Jnr.: I've had a couple of equally impactful moments. However, one that stands out is when I received a video of a friend sobbing to a tribute I did for our mutual late friend. I was taken aback and that struck me about the power of poetry. Words do have energy. They certainly do

Soulman: A message for aspiring Poets & Spoken Word Artistes, do you have a message for aspiring poets

Nana Fredua-Agyeman Jnr.: I simply urge them to take their crafts seriously and treat their brands with tact and grace

Most importantly listen to their inner-self to fuel the passion
