Rapper Desmond Blackmore, popularly known as D-Black, has revealed that his ‘Vera’ hit song changed his life in 2012.
Speaking in an interview on Happy FM he said, “I started doing hiplife even though I did not have a firm grip on the local languages like Twi and Ga. I had to do hiplife to be able to survive.”
“So between 2010-2011, my first album was a hip-hop album. I got nominated all over the world. I was nominated for BET Awards, Channel O (South Africa) and Ghana Music Awards. But I was broke, I did not have any money at all. So sometimes I go to these countries with less than $200 in my pocket”.
“So I came back in 2012 with the intention of working on my 2nd album and I did a song like ‘Vera’ and everything change in my life.
“From my cloths to my cars to sorting my mum out. Just one hit song. It was not hip-pop, it was hiplife. That album changed my life, so that is the difference,” he stated.
