Koo Ntakra
Bio
Koo Ntakra is the stage name of Isaac Akuffo. A hiplife artist, he raps in his native language Akuapem. For this he is regarded as one of the proponents of 'Akuapem rap'. His stage name means 'feathers', a metaphor for the (expected) flight of his career.
Nicknamed the 'King of Kofcity', in 2013, Koo won the MTN Hitmaker Reality TV music contest, giving him visibility on the music scene. In the first few years of his career, after building a reputation as a freestyle rapper of merit, he either shared the stage or worked with Davido from Nigeria, as well as Ghana's Sarkodie, Samini, D-Black and Shatta Wale.
In November 2014, Koo Ntakra released his first studio album, 'Akuaba' (Priceless). In 2016, Koo Ntakra was one of two African finalists for the Midem Artist Accelerator.
