Entertainment Analyst, Ishaq Rauf (Murphy Rauf) says the

Late Ronnie Coaches |
Buk Bak, known for
several hit songs including 'Klu Brofo', 'Akwasi Broni' and 'Kolom', was
versatile and rapped in Ga, Twi, and Pidgin, and was the first
hip-life group in Ghana to make a successful career out of Ga music.
Speaking to metromixdrive, Murphy Rauf said the
contribution of Ronnie to the music industry cannot be over emphasized.
“The death f Ronnie on the industry is a big blow,
it will affect it a lot because a lot of artists would still have wanted to do
tracks with him in particular. He had one of the best raggae style” Murphy Rauf
suggested.
He fears Buk Bak as a group might collapse after the
demise of Ronnie.
“His death will really affect the group because when they
broke up and went solo, Bright came up with a track, it wasn’t a hit, Ronnie wasn’t
popping up. So now that he [Ronnie] is gone forever, definitely it will affect
the group.. I think Buk Bak will fall”.
