Martinson Ampadu, also known as Kulubayu, is a sound engineer and music producer. He has been candid about the reasons behind his split from musician Larusso.
Producer Martinson, who worked on Larusso’s smash song “Killy Killy,” claimed that after coming up with the song’s incredible beat, Larusso and his manager went looking for another producer.
Speaking on 3FM’s Drive with Giovani Caleb, Martinson said that he has six years of experience as a professional producer. He disclosed that Pac, a producer for Shatta Wale whom he trained, is the creator of the “Killy Killy” rhythm.
To create Larusso’s hit song, Martinson claimed to have remixed the beat, which is reminiscent of Shatta Wale’s “Aye Halfcast.”
Even though Larusso and his manager gave Martinson the money, he claimed he only took a smaller amount at first and did not charge them the proper fees.
He said that a lot of sound engineers approached him after Larusso’s hit song, making him their backup choice.
He clarified that even though he collaborated with them, he eventually became their go-to choice. Martinson explained the reasons behind the breakup, stating that he simply wanted to be paid “what he deserved,” which is what sparked the disagreement with Larusso’s crew.
“They [Larusso and his manager] are part of the disappointment. After that song, everybody wanted to produce Larusso for free because he was everywhere and now they did not want to come to my studio anymore.

“All they do is when they go and get the vocals and its not good, they come back with the beat and they are like you need to retake the vocals, mix and master for us. That’s how come I worked on almost all of his songs. I had to redo, mix and master again.
“With time, I had issues with them. I was like you guys need to pay me well because I deserve better. So it got to a time they felt like he’s charging more so we can’t go there again so after a while I didn’t produce for them anymore,” he narrated on June 21.
