After years of hard work, the Kumerican star finally got his big break this year with “Sika Aba Fie.” He recorded a few of significant songs last year, but not until he secured the blessings of Yaw Tog and Kweku Flick for this immediate smash. Kuami Eugene appears on a remix of the hip-hop song devoted to hustlers.
4. KiDi – Touch It
The Lynx Entertainment singer began the year on a high note, collaborating on the song “Spiritual” with Nigerian superstar Patoranking and label mate Kuami Eugene. But it was with “Touch It,” which is now TikTok’s favorite song, that he re-entered the international market.
5. Okyeame Kwame – Yeeko feat Kuami Eugene
‘Midas touch,’ says Kuami Eugene. One of the numerous examples is Okyeame Kwame’s return single. In an exclusive interview with Pulse.com.gh earlier this year, the ‘Rap Doctor’ revealed that Kuami Eugene wrote, arranged, and produced the song.
6. Sefa – E Choke feat Mr Drew
It’s the most important moment in Black Avenue Muzik’s career thus far, following years of stumbling onto a hit. In the previous two years, she has put in a lot of work and released some wonderful songs, but when she released “E Choke,” it became an immediate success.
7. King Promise – Slow Down
This year, the Teshie-Nugua star boy offered the internet a wonderful present. He launched the Nonsoamadi and Killbeatz-produced afrobeats tune without any controversy or media tricks, and it became an immediate smash.
8. O’kenneth – Agyeiwaa feat. Reggie & City Boy
Trolls tried to put an end to “Agyeiwaa,” but they had no idea it would become a TikTok and Instagram Reel favorite. Nothing, according to the stats, can stop brilliance.

Michael Jackson of our generation provided us with music to dance to. When blasted through loudspeakers, “Mood” is a masterpiece, perfectly designed to move feet and bump heads.
