In the heart of Adabraka's ghettoes, two young men, Luther Azamati (Pappi) and Jeffery Opoku Agyekum (Killy), formed the dynamic music duo known as 5five. With their unique fusion of various genres, they quickly captivated audiences beyond their humble origins. Their breakout reggaeton anthem, "African Gurl," featuring Diodjo, propelled them from obscurity to recognition, earning multiple nominations and wins at the prestigious Ghana Music Awards in 2008.

Debut Single and Collaboration

Building on their early triumph, 5five released their debut single, "Bull (4 better 4 worse)," as part of Batman Samini's Appietus compilation. The collaboration with Samini further showcased their versatility and ability to adapt to different musical environments. Although Pappi had previously made cameo appearances on mixtapes, the mainstream radio had yet to embrace his talent fully. Despite this, his music drew inspiration from abstract thoughts, which he effortlessly translated into his lyrics and paintings.
