    Nana Kwaku Okyere Duah

Tic Tac (Nana Kwaku Okyere Duah) was anointed as Ghana's Busta Rhymes when he first came out.
He developed his talent for entertaining at Datus Complex School and then at Labone Secondary School where he formed a trio called Nutty Strangers. Their hit song at the time was 'Africa mama' which they performed at various events. He emerged as a hiplife artiste after featuring on DJ Azigiza's 'Woye bia' hit and then Slim Busterr's 'Masan aba'.

His debut album, Philomena, had one of hiplife's biggest ever hits - the title track which also shot Nana Quame and Obrafour into the limelight. The song teased women who didn't shave and generated a lot of controversy. By the time his second album came out, he had his own record label (TN Records) and was a top-tier musician. The top single (Menka bio aka Shordy) from his third album, Masem topped the Ghana music chart for 22 consecutive weeks, a record at the time (2002-2003).

His fourth album (Wope?) was groundbreaking as he became the first major hiplife artiste to feature major international stars -Freddy Meiway (Cote d'Ivoire) on the title track and Tony Tetuila (Nigeria) on Fefe n'efe (which sampled Fela Kuti). The album launch was one of the biggest ever in Ghana and he partnered with the Ghana Olympic Committee, promoting Ghana's Olympic team's push for Athens 2004.

His fifth album, Accra Connection, featured more internatonal stars like Sway Da Safo, Rhian Benson (Ghana n UK), D'Banj, JJC (Nigeria). He is seen as one of hiplife's international faces. He is also working on a clothing line - Tic Wear and is at the forefront of various social campaigns in Ghana and Africa.

Some of his popular songs include KKBK, Masom, Santrofi Anoma, Angela, Yaa Densoa, Giggy Bambam, Beware of dogs, Hwekosin, Maame Mansa, etc.
