Dj Stokie on pushing his producers on Immortal
I have my boys that I work with now. I have my own stable – Exclusive Music Studio – so I have my boys under that label, which is Sobzeen, Ndoose_SA, Dj Nnana… I’ve worked with them on Immortal. I feel like now it’s time to put them on, I decided they’ve not worked with big artists so let me just push the stable through, let me just push my people.
Dj Stokie on the album title Immortal
Me and my team, we had a meeting. I’m proud to say I’m a living legend of the sound – I’ve been in the game, I’ve been pushing and I’ve seen amapiano to where it is now today – so we sat down and thought of a name. Immortal really suits my brand – me, as Dj Stoke – because I’ve been doing this, I’ve been living music, I’ve been promoting the stuff. I’m that guy!

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.
