Rapper D-Black was deeply moved upon learning that his song, ‘My Kinda Girl’, was being studied by students in the literature department at the University of Ghana, Legon.
The song, which was released in 2013 and features Sarkodie, has gained recognition among the students.
D-Black, in a post shared sighted by GhanaStreetJournal said the fact that his lyrics were analyzed during the last semester of the academic calendar brought him great joy, as he shared the news on his timeline.

“A decade later, students my age then are studying the lyrics I penned down. That feeling is a different type of feeling! God has been good. Stay grateful, stay smiling…”
