If you are building a playlist of definitive Ghanaian Hip-Hop, this track isn鈥檛 just a suggestion鈥攊t鈥檚 a mandatory exhibit.

The song鈥檚 genius lies in its structure: a direct, no-holds-barred lyrical exchange. Obrafour, known for his dense, metaphorical Twi rap, kicks off the track with his signature gravelly delivery and an intellectual swagger.
