Appietus fumes over stolen 5Five song

Sampling is a common practice among producers/beat makers/sound engineers. But where is the line between sampling and stealing?

Appietus has come forward to say that the beat of DJ Cyndo’s song, 'Amerido' is strikingly similar to the beat he did for 5Five's 'Move Back' song on his compilation but added his own instrumentations to it to make it more richer and did not steal it like its been speculated.

Ghana Music.com spoke with Appietus earlier this afternoon to open up about the beat theft. “Am I the first person to take a beat and sample it? Am I the first engineer in the world to use the samples of other musicians? If so then Gyptian will arrest thousands of musicians in Ghana alone”, he continued.

Appietus, who's worked with the likes of Samini, Amandzeba Nat Brew, 5Fve, 4x4, went onto air out his grievances. “When we do things like this we killing our own industry and these things must stop” he said .

Many are questions have come up since 'Move Back' gained firm popularity from last year about who owns the originality of the song.

Appietus is not bothered about this and will still be producing hit songs from Creative Studios.
