Today, the laidback life of Ghana’s party King Promise continues to make his mark as one of the most exciting African artists breaking out of the continent this year with ‘Choplife ft. Patoranking’. Stream Here

Following his sizzling summer jam with fellow Ghananian Headie One for ‘Ring My Line’ which debuted at debuted #7 on the Official UK Afrobeats Charts, and his first single of the year ‘Slow Down’, King Promise has been making moves. Most recently being nominated for Best African Music Act at the 2021 MOBO Awards, he’s also picked up support from the likes of The Face, i-D, The Independent, Highsnobiety, Loud & Quiet, DJ Target and more.

Following his travels to the U.K. & U.S. earlier this year, King Promise has returned to Ghana for the world’s most in demand Christmas Party season for his highly anticipated festival ‘Promiseland’ – the homecoming edition, taking place in Accra on 24th December. This year, the festival joins new-gen and old school legends from N.E. The U.K., U.S. and W.A. for the ultimate surprise lineup.

Speaking on the single, King Promise says: “A feel good song with simple intentions… bringing people happiness & getting them on their feet to dance & forgetting their problems.”

Patoranking adds: “I knew the song was a smash from first listen. King Promise is a talented artist, and it’s always positive energy anytime we link up, and I feel we brought the same energy on this song.”
Born and raised in Accra, Ghana, King Promise is an ardent storyteller inspired by life writing about love, hustling, partying, family and more over an irresistible blend of afrobeats, highlife, hip hop and R&B. Since first releasing music officially in 2017 via Soundcloud, Promise’s fanbase quickly began to swell as word spread and a huge buzz manifested locally. Before he knew it, his career had taken off and he now counts fans in the likes of GQ, Complex, Boiler Room, BBC Radio 1 and more. Though a humble guy not bothered by numbers, he has over 35 million streams on his top 5 tracks on Spotify alone and 2.6 million followers on his socials and claims Ghana’s most streamed album of all time with his 2019 album As Promised (which saw him share tracks with Raye, Wizkid and more). With his irresistible signature crooner lyrics and palpably warm and danceable energy, King Promise is somewhat of a hidden gem outside of West Africa.

Promise hasn’t always been making music though, as in classic child-of-African-parents form he was focused mainly on finishing school and securing a degree up until a few years ago which he achieved in 2017 in the midst of his ascent. Music was never the plan that was until he jumped in on an impromptu friend’s studio session where his curiosity and raw talent was sparked in the booth – soon to be discovered by Killbeatz (Fuse ODG, Burna Boy, Wizkid and more). At home though he still had a lush and diverse sonic upbringing. Enveloped in music from a young age where his “musichead” father inadvertently helped shape his genre and culture-spanning tastes: immersing him in everything from reggae to R&B to boybands to Ghanaian highlife, nowadays Promise finds himself pulling from and enjoying an incredibly wide range of sounds, both in his own sonics and also during his creative process. At the moment, he’s particularly feeling Ghanaian drill, the South African Amapiano scene and collaborating with UK artists like NSG, WSTRN and Headie One for his own music he has coming next year.

Stay tuned for more music and news soon.

King Promise December 2021 Tour Dates:
5th December – Amapiano and Brunch
17th December – Mufty Ent (Tabled Event)
24th December – THE PROMISE LAND
26th December – Gold Coast Carnival (TBC)

Published

Homicide scaled

A true son of Ghanaian soil who recently returned home after years living in the USA, Gibrilville is generating buzz with his eclectic music that has been influenced by a vast array of cultures and lifestyles from all the places he has visited and lived. Not one to forget his roots, you can always expect that delectable taste of the Ghanaian sound and a flourishing afrobeat vibe in his hip-hop, reggae, and dancehall sounds. On the vocal front, Gibrilville has that voice that holds so much effortless power; – so rich, just like his African heritage, and it is little surprise he has been coined as the King of Melodies!

The musical world witnessed what he is capable of delivering with his emotional and soul-stirring performance in “Long Way,” a reggae-inspired masterpiece that has been an ear candy to listeners from all over the world, and especially Africa, due to the powerful liberating message behind those lyrics. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/gibrilville/light-it-up

Gibrilville is currently working on his new album, which he is set to release soon and that promises to echo the culture, spirit, lifestyle, and beauty of Africa. Before then, he has a new single dubbed “Homicide” that he is set to release.

A dancehall-inspired masterpiece with that afro-cuban percussion flanked by reggae sensibilities, “Homicide” is set to rock the dance floor in every way. He seriously went rogue on those beats, to the benefit of the listener.

The bouncing wave, backed by his equally floating lyricism like some incarnated Wyclef, over some catchy hooks about how living his life should not be any concern of yours, is seriously going to move any listener and make them want to dance with carefree abandon.

“Homicide” is another sensational addition to his repertoire as he seeks to build one of the most impressive discographies in his eclectic musical genre.

The pre-order link for “Homicide” is now out, and you can get it by following his social handles, particularly his Instagram and website.

This is just the beginning of what is expected to be a trailblazing career for Gibrilville, the new African King!

Ghanaian Rising Star, ZIK Takes Fans On a Journey with Odyssey

Published

on

Odyssey EP

ZIK (formerly known as Izzik) was born to be a hero and he knows it. The Lagos raised Ghanaian talent knew the journey he was about to put his fans on when he decided to name his EP ‘Odyssey’. Similar to the Greek legend, Zik has crafted a potpourri of excitement, danger, bounce and grace with finesse. It’s what the young people call Sauce, and as evident on the first single SDTF, Zik has sauce pouring out of his pores.

 

‘Odyssey’ opens with the beautiful, powerful and aptly titled ‘Walking Shoes’. This song is a celebration of the beauty of his journey and the growth that comes with it. It opens with profound spoken-word poetry from a woman and slides into soulfulness. It’s not your typical Afrobeats intro but Zik is far from typical. Zik is in a lane of his own. He glides and spills real talk all over the catchy production. On ‘Trips’ is the sexy bounce which allows Zik to dictate the new cool.  Bad Idea is the song for people who stay on their toes 24/7. The sharp guys and girls. It’s an anthem that immediately puts you on high alert. Zik bleeds honesty and tells detractors “Nod my head this thing I don hear. Abeg free me make I dey my lane.” ‘Odyssey’ has 4 songs and clocks in at around 10 minutes, short enough for you to want to replay all day but packed enough to take you on an emotional rollercoaster.

‘Odyssey’ is now available to stream or purchase on all digital music platforms here: https://zik.fanlink.to/Odyssey
