K-Man - Music Career

Music Career

Around 2004 K-Man, along with fellow Sierra Leonean youth Underground rappers C-Jay and Camouflag, formed the Freetown based Hip Hop group called Conscious Knowledge, more commonly known as CK. The group released their debut hit single called Africa in the paradise compilation volume 1. K-Man's soft voice and densely packed rap lyrics came to be recognised and he quickly rose as the most prominent members of the group.

K-Man left Freetown for neighboring Conakry, Guinea to develop his music in late 2004. While in Guinea K-Man worked with several prominent Guinean rappers including Bill De Sam and Sierra Leonean-born Guinean reggae musician Daddi Cool.

With enough time at his disposal, the Mandingo young star K-Man decided to go solo. This would mean doing all eight tracks in his debut album "watch u back" alone. Songc like Bombat and Watch your back became hits in Sierra Leone Guinea and The Gambia.

His second album "Let We Make Salone" (let's build Sierra Leone) was internationally successful in West Africa and within the Sierra Leone community abroad. The album helped to rebuild the image of country and build confidence in the international community that Sierra Leone is peaceful and investor-friendly, a goal pursued by the Sierra Leonean government.
