In the year 1998, he recorded his first demo at Slim Buster studio, and numerous other demos followed this in different studios. In 1999, he became one of the first two artists to be signed by Hush Hush Records.
He released his first album titled Freedom of Speech I in the year 2000 right before the 2000 elections in Ghana.
The hit track, “Mesuro mpo na merekeka yi o” talked about how he was afraid of what he was saying and doing but he was still saying it, in the light of democracy as he criticized politicians.
In another song, he used Dr. Ephraim Amu’s Yen ara asase ni chorus. His style was new and a welcome addition to the hiplife landscape.
After former President of Ghana His Excellency J.A. Kuffour had taken over the mantle of power from J.J. Rawlings in 2001, he released “Freedom of Speech II” which criticized the wrongdoings of the NPP government and implored them to do better lest they get voted out of power in the next election (2004).
The New Patriotic Party won another term in office but it did not prevent A-Pluz from releasing “Agye gon” – analysing the 2004 campaign promises, etc.
For his most recent controversial song (Letter to Parliament) which has supposedly brought him death threats, he intends to present 230 autographed copies of the album to the Speaker of Parliament to enable each member of parliament to have a personal copy. The song borrows Kaakyire Kwame Appiah’s popular 24th tune for the chorus.
