BIOGRAPHY
David Kwaku Effum Boafo who goes by the stage name Obibini or “Wudinii,” was born on 23rd October 1988, in Effiduase a town in Ghana’s Ashanti Region that serves as the capital of Sekyere East to Mr and Mrs Effum Boafo.
Who is Obibini?
Obibini, which is the formed acronym for Obviously Black Is Beautiful, Infinite & Naturally Inspiring, is a Ghanaian Hip Hop rap artist, record producer, and performer who aims to become a leading centre in the edutainment industry. His goal is to create the School Of Afrikan Knowledge (SOAK), which will use entertainment and the fine arts to enlighten, amuse, and transcend generational divides.
He is from Effiduase, Sekyere East, a district in Ghana’s Ashanti Region, and was conceived by David Kwaku Effum Boafo on October 23rd. For his secondary schooling, he attended Adisadel College.
Being passionate about music, the rapper grew up listening to Ghanaian favourites like Reggie Rockstone, Obrafour, Outkast and Busta Rhymes. As a result of his newfound interest, he began composing his solo melodies and ultimately formed a four-member band named the Ill Deadly Ministers (IDM) while still in high school.
Obibini focuses on strong lyrics when crafting his songs since he is passionate about creating high-quality content. Rhythmic Afrikan Poetry is his musical approach. His distinct approach integrates English and Twi, which he believes will aid him to advance in the music industry, thus his desire to learn to sing.
He began his career in the Ghanaian entertainment industry’s underground rap scene. Given his large fan following, Obibini’s debut song did not entirely satiate a substantial portion of his fandom, who believed he had been unsigned for far too long.
