Ghanaian rapper D Cryme has urged music‑industry stakeholders to honour broadcaster Dr Duncan, who helped launch the careers of many artists through his Kasahare Level show on Adom FM in the 2000s. Speaking on Joy FM’s Showbiz A‑Z with arts and culture journalist Kwame Dadzie, D Cryme outlined ways the industry could pay tribute while Dr Duncan is still alive.
“Dr Duncan does not only deserve a statue, but he deserves a super big monumented museum. While he is alive, he deserves all the accolades and appreciation. That is why I mention him wherever I go,” the artist said. He added that musicians who benefited from the platform should not wait until his death to speak about his impact.
D Cryme said a podcast would be an effective way to highlight Dr Duncan’s legacy, describing him as “a solid young but grandpa in the house.” He encouraged fellow industry figures to pool resources and collaborate on the project, noting it is not a one‑man effort.
Dr Duncan’s Kasahare Level was a launchpad for rappers such as Sarkodie, Yaa Pono, Pope Skinny, Shakoma, Stonebwoy, Criss Waddle, Yaw Siki, Edem, Guru, Kwaw Kese, and Kofi Korea, many of whom later became prominent in Ghana’s music scene.
With the call now circulating, industry players are considering how best to celebrate Dr Duncan’s contributions while he is still alive. The next steps will involve discussions among broadcasters, artists and sponsors to bring the museum and podcast to fruition.
