Emmanuel Abrompah Botchwey aka Kwaw Kese hails from Agona Swedru and is a hiplife artiste.
He schooled at Happy Home J.S.S and then at Winneba Secondary School. While at Happy Home, he was singing and rapping to his friends and doing some stage performances. He moved to Accra after school and while hanging around Hush Hush studios trying to get a demo, he caught the eye of Hammer (of the Last2 fame). That is when, he wrote Oye Nonsense which featured on Obrafour's Execution Diary compilation. Oye Nonsense was a huge hit and stayed on several countdowns for several weeks in 2004. It also stirred some controversy, as the song got linked to Kontihene's Mi gi zi gi and it was believed that Oye Nonsense was dissing Kontihene (Kwaw kese has denied this even though there is a popular underground hit called the Kontihene diss featuring Kwaw Kese).
The next year, he did "kwakwa" on Hammer's Sounds of the Time compilation. His debut album was released in late 2005 as well with the lead track, Na ya tal. It was extremely successful and he release his second album Odiem in 2007. His 'abodam' catch phrase has become a slogan in Ghana and has almost replaced the Nigerian axiom “tofiakwa”.
He has also helped make the term, 'Wonngye' and 'Craci' popular in hiplife circles and is the leader of Abodam records. Some of the members are Jagoo, Okoto, Dr. Crime, Father Nhusie and Fish. Abodam Records also runs an NGO called ‘Music 4 Help Foundation’ which focuses on homeless orphans and mainly sends free music concerts to the orphans, a clothing line called 'Dam' Wear and a farm in his home town (Agona Swedru) called 'Dam' Farms.
Some of his songs include Odiem, Yenfa odo mmom, Asem, Okwantuni, Oye Nonsense, (Execution Diary), Kwakwa (Sounds of our time - last 2), etc

watch out for this track, Abodam is blazin the airwaves all over
Mr. Okoto, I believe the Abodam crew will get in touch, stay glued to your Tigo aight?
actually the song Asem is by a new hiplife artiste called ASEM. The song is enjoying a ton of airplay underground but it may never make it to the limelight cuz of its rather profane lyrics.
In the meantime, Kwaw Kese is flying high, definitely one of the most visible and popular Ghanaian musicians today!
why dont u have odiem lyrics?
wapon UN court, asem a wantumi anka adan war!
that asem track is good, the beat is by richie the beatmaker

New video by Kwaw Kese, da Cra-ci man
Me and my brothers LOVE Kwaw Kesse and his Abodam Krachie-s3m.
Especially that ''adwe adwe'' taxi with the kitchen stool in the 'na ya tal' video. Hilarious.
We are loving his new vid. too.
That phrase ''w'abusuafo rey3 woa, wose mma p3 wo'' was one of the ''anthems'' in my class, way back in JSS. We were noisy but managed to be the best...memories...
*Kwaw kesse for life! As long as he continues to be unique and witty, the depth of his lyrics shn't matter to me*
awesome video from the Abodam man!
he's the best out there right now
hi guy i really love your music kwaw . keep it high.
So did Kwaw Kese meet George Bush or not? If Bush came to Ghana to give us money for fighting malaria then he had to meet Ghana's Youth Malaria icon, no? Wow, Kwaw Kese is becoming a rock star and is sending his fame abroad. It's about time.
Abodam!
I am waiting for his next song, am sure there will be some Dubya lyrics in there. Kwaw, we are waiting for your song about malaria as well.
