Hi I installed this from aur package.

By selecting rofi-mpd it opens up a menu with
Select artist:

and its empty.. pressing enter etc doesnt show me informations about anything.

All the music files are in ~/Music
and mpd should work on 6600 not sure how to debug this.

Is MPD definitely working with a populated database?
Run mpc list artist and check a list of artists come back if you're not sure.

Oh it doesnt give anything back . I guess I need to configure mpc separately?

exists in my mpd.conf and ~/.config/rofi-mpd/config.toml

music_directory "~/Music"

also mpc next brings me to another song in the ncmpcpp list that I added.

mpc is just the most basic MPD client. This is also an MPD client, so if neither this nor MPC are finding anything it would suggest that MPD is not running/properly configured.

I'm going to close this for now as it sounds like it's not an issue with this program. Feel free to reply if that changes.
