“As the first artist to be featured on this Apple Music playlist, I feel incredibly honoured and grateful,” Fireboy DML tells Apple Music. “Since 2019 I’ve had incredible support from Apple Music and I’m sure the whole African music scene can say the same. I’m excited to see where this leads and what it will do for the culture.”
Speaking about his new single “Everyday,” Fireboy DML adds: “This new era of my career is about reconnecting with one’s roots, old self and focusing on the things that truly matter — love, family, personal health. I think that’s where success truly lies. ‘Everyday’ is a song that reminds you of the days when we used to make celebratory love songs, of simpler times. From the moment the instrumental starts playing, you can already tell what you’re in for. I’m excited to share this record with the world!”

LISTEN: Kush Keef ft. Ras Kuuku – E Go Be (Remix)
![](https://ameyawdebrah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Kush-Keef-x-Ras-Kuuku.jpg)
Whoever made the decision to put Kush Keef and Ras Kuuku on the remix of this song certainly made the right decision.
Both artistes sank in deep with the fitting lyrics and melodies for “E Go Be” Remix.
Many (Ghetto) Youths are really facing it hard during these times with economic downturns and most of them have given up on their dreams and hard work; nonetheless, there has to be a voice for the voiceless, thus, Kush Keef recruited Ras Kuuku on this new cut.
“E Go Be” Remix is tipped to be a new street anthem for the streets. The song has sparsely lose lyrics but with yet explanatory rhymes which carries the message across. The infusion of local dialect in the song also creates some originality and typically talks to the Ghanaian hustler on the streets.
Released across all major music platforms, the song is available for streams and download.

From the vibrant hood of Dansoman, Accra, emerges a fresh voice lighting up the Afro-Dancehall scene: Roland Osei Adofo, lovingly known as Kush Keef. His journey from selling mobile phones from the lively corners of Circle to making global moves is a heart-warming tale of passion, perseverance and a deep love for music.
Kush Keef’s love for music began when a friend introduced him to the magic of FruityLoops. Instead of letting his environment define him, he used it as a canvas for his creativity. Influenced by Ghanaian music legends like Samini, Jupitar and Mugueez, Kush Keef has crafted his sound that effortlessly blends Dancehall and Afrobeats.
In 2020, Kush Keef made waves on the international music scene with his debut production collaboration alongside US-based artist, Dre Skuffs and Trinidad-based female artist, Servanity. Encouraged by the warm reception, Kush Keef set up his home studio and, with the help of his FruityLoops mentor, Dream Jay, he crafted his debut EP, “THE BEAST.” This seven-track gem showcases Kush Keef’s exceptional talent in songwriting and storytelling, which he believes is paving the way for his rise to stardom.
The release of the music videos for ‘Sijibomi’ and ‘My Baby’ from the EP captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, garnering impressive views on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, catapulting Kush Keef onto the Afro-Dancehall scene.
Recently signed by the US-based music record label, Rovl Entertainment, Kush Keef is excited to share his banging beats, relatable lyrics and unique style with music lovers around the world. With the upcoming release of his anticipated debut EP, “THE BEAST,” Kush Keef is ready to thrill audiences with his authentic sound, heartfelt storytelling and undeniable talent.
For Kush Keef, music transcends passion; it is a way to bring people together, spread positivity and inspire others. With dreams of connecting with a wider audience, performing at major music festivals and collaborating with renowned artists in the industry, Kush Keef envisions creating a lasting legacy through his music.
