KGenius’ singles, “Revolution and “Revolution (Twi version) has earned him a place in Ghana & the worlds’ reggae history as the First Jamaican to record a Twi song.  KGenius is delighted at this accomplishment as he felt it necessary to sing this particular song (inspired by his first visit to Ghana) in Twi (the most commonly spoken language of Ghana).  KGenius looks forward to doing more Twi & probably other local African dialect songs to expose his music to an even wider audience.
