Medikal – Open Letter (Prod. By Halm)

Ghanaian rapper Medikal addressed the controversies surrounding his personal life in his 2018 freestyle titled “Open Letter.” Produced by Ghanaian sound engineer Halm, the song arrived at a time when the AMG Business rapper was attracting considerable public attention following his breakup with singer Sister Deborah.

Originally released on 14 November 2018, “Open Letter” gave Medikal an opportunity to respond to the criticism, rumours and discussions surrounding his relationship with actress Fella Makafui.

Rather than recording a conventional love song, Medikal chose to express his frustrations through rap. He questioned why people were so interested in his private life and criticised those who continued to judge his decisions without knowing the full story.

The song followed a series of public exchanges involving Medikal and his former girlfriend, Sister Deborah, popularly known as Sister Derby. Their breakup had become a major entertainment topic in Ghana, especially after Sister Derby released “Kakalika Love,” a song widely interpreted as a response to the situation.

With “Open Letter,” Medikal turned his attention to the pressure that comes with being a public figure. He spoke about the difficulty of living under constant scrutiny and the way people form opinions about celebrities based on information circulating on social media.

The rapper also defended his right to make personal decisions without interference from the public. His delivery is direct, with the freestyle format allowing him to express his thoughts without relying on a lengthy chorus or complicated song arrangement.

Production credit goes to Halm, who provides the instrumental for Medikal’s performance. The recording runs for approximately 2 minutes and 11 seconds, making it a short but direct response to the issues dominating entertainment discussions at the time.

Interestingly, Medikal had also published an open letter on social media around the same period, explaining his feelings towards Fella Makafui and his disappointment over the public exchanges with Sister Deborah.

The release became another part of the much-discussed relationship controversy of November 2018, when songs, interviews and social media posts kept the story in the headlines.

For listeners revisiting Medikal’s earlier recordings, “Open Letter” captures a particular moment in the rapper’s career when his personal relationships became closely connected to public discussions about his music.
