I took 6 years break from music due to Castro’s disappearance – D-Black

Ghanaian hip-hop musician, D-Black has disclosed that his long break from music in 2016 was due to the sudden disappearance of hiplife artiste, Castro.

In an interview, he said Castro’s situation had a significant effect on him.

According to him, he did not think it was right to perform the songs he had collaborated on with Castro since the musician’s body was not found.

“When Castro’s situation happened in 2015 and 2016, I took a break from music because the most popular songs I had were with him; Seihor and Personal Person.

“I didn’t feel comfortable going on stage to perform those songs when they couldn’t find his body, and were still looking and I’m on stage performing. I just felt like it was wrong,” he stated in an interview with GhanaWeb.

You may have heard of D-Black’s famous nickname, ‘Enjoyment Minister.’ The musician further narrated how he got the name and officially decided to use it.

“So I took a break from music, I went into the hospitality business, I started my night club and event company and a lot of the stuff I was doing was enjoyment…It was a lot of party and enjoyment so my friends started calling me ‘Enjoyment Minister’.

“So when I was coming back to the music and recording my album in 2021 after six years break, I did a song with Stonebwoy and Quamina MP and I didn’t have a title for it so I decided to use Enjoyment Minister as the title of the song and then use it as my new aka to usher me back into the industry,” he shared.
