Ghanaian reggae/dancehall, Ras Kuuku has said that he finds comfort from visiting the graveyard.

He revealed that he does not care for exotic destinations to relax and find inspiration, as the cemetery gives him all the "juice" he needs to propel himself.

Ras Kuuku who beat dancehall legend, Samini, Epixode, and other Ghanaian dancehall artistes to win the prestigious reggae/dancehall artiste of the year award at the recently concluded Vodafone Ghana Music Awards(VGMA), revealed his odd source of inspiration in an interview with Nana Quasi-Wusu aka PM host of ‘Dryve of Your Lyfe’ on YFM Takoradi.

"We relax in the ‘saman puom’ (cemetery). We chat with the dead. Imagine you go through the sun hustling the whole day, you can take a break, sit at the cemetery and relax’’ he said.

He revealed that many songs that he can't remember have come from his meditations.

"I have singles I can’t count, so my team and I decided to come out with an album titled, ‘Kuntunkununku’ the Heaviest. The word Kuntunkununku is one of the names of the Almighty and it also reminds me of Osagyefo Kuntununku, the first King of Akyem," he continued

"I can just go to the studio and ask the engineer to play a beat and I freestyle. I don’t sit and write songs. All my songs are freestyle,"

Ras Kuku is widely popular for his many hit songs including but not limited to Kuuku, Me Mpaebo, Puom Anthem, Ghetto Love, among others.
