I’m Underrated And Underappreciated – Tulenkey

Ghanaian rapper, Tulenkey, has stated that he feels overlooked in the music industry despite the work he puts into his music.

In an interview with Headless YouTuber, the “Bad Feeling” rapper said he believes he is not getting the recognition he deserves for the kind of music he makes.

According to him, the level of attention and praise he receives does not match the quality of his work.

“As a rapper, I’m underrated and underappreciated. The type of music I put out and the type of ratings I get is not at par,” Tulenkey stated.

He talked about the amount of work he put into his Doomsday EP, explaining that he took an entire month to carefully work on the lyrics, with the goal of making a statement through the project.

According to him, the feedback he received after releasing the EP was not what he expected.

“I remember the Doomsday EP, let’s be realistic, I sat down one full month, I wanted to make a statement, I took my time to pay attention to every bar and I put it out there, but that thing where you were expecting some kind of reception so when I didn’t get that reception I felt…at the end of the day you can do something normal and they would like,” he shared.

Tulenkey added that even though he didn’t get the reception he had hoped for, he has come to the realisation that he needs to stay focused and have confidence in his own path without waiting for external approval.

“I just have to believe in what I’m doing and I don’t have to wait for anyone’s validation,” he said.
