Kweku Smoke, the prolific Ghanaian hip-hop artist, is gearing up to release his latest album, “Born in Hell,” on September 4th.
This announcement comes hot on the heels of his March release, “Kweku Jesus,” demonstrating the rapper’s tireless work ethic and creative output.
“Born in Hell” will be Smoke’s fourth album in less than a year, a feat that has helped cement his status as one of Ghana’s most dynamic and productive musical talents. The upcoming release is a ten-track project that showcases Smoke’s solo artistry, with no featured artists on the tracklist.
However, fans can expect to hear influences from some of Ghana’s top vocalists. The album credits list contributions from renowned singers Kwabena, Cina Soul, and Trudy, suggesting their vocals may be incorporated into the tracks in innovative ways.
The album’s cover art is as provocative as its title, featuring a young boy holding the Holy Book while facing a furnace. This striking image seems to encapsulate the themes Smoke aims to explore in “Born in Hell.”
Kweku Smoke’s rapid rise in the Ghanaian music scene was recently acknowledged at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards, where he secured three nominations for his dual album release last year. This recognition spotlights the impact he’s making on the local hip-hop landscape.
