    Bice Osei Kuffuor

Obour's real name is Bice Osei Kuffuor and he is a graduate of Mfantsipim School (1999) and the University of Ghana, Legon (he's one of the few hiplife artistes in Ghana who has completed university education). Obour has carved a niche for himself as the "scariest" and literally most feared artiste in Ghana as he constantly spews out lyrics that is supposed to show the crazy things he can do. His videos have also attested to this. Obour means stone.

He was born at 'Braha Bebu Me' (Dekyemenso) in the Ashanti Region to Christiana Addo and reverend B.O Kuffour. Of his seven sibblings, all his sisters and even his mother sung in the church At six, he played most of the drums especially the Atumpan in the Juaso-Ashanti Akyem chief's palace where his father used to preside over before accepting Christ. According to him, that inspired him a lot, lyrically.

He has collaborated with A. B. Crentsil on a music project (album) dubbed 'Best of the Lifes' to coincide with Ghana's 50th anniversary of independence, celebrating highlife and hiplife.
He also runs a sports bar in Ghana, as well Adwinfi and is part of FamilyTree Entertainment.

Some of his hits include Wonnie, Nana Bour, Adwinfi, Sei, Beyifour, Enora ne enne, Boyz tua, Anyen, Aponkyereni, Juliana and Aburokyire nkomo.

Obour is a great musician, I love his collaboration with A B Crentsil.
He is also very good on tour, touring over 30 towns in his road safety campaign and this year too with AB on their Best of the Lifes tour.
And he's a Botwe boy!
