Music producer and sound engineer, David Kojo Kyei, commonly known as Kaywa has disclosed that some musicians look down on music producers in the country.
According to him, most of the musicians, after working with them, don’t pay for the producers’ work because they feel they’re hyping the producer by jumping on his beats.
