Asi is a powerful voice that has made serious waves in 2020 in Accra, performing along some of the city’s most forward thinking artists, upon her return to Ghana after a few years blessing stages in East Africa.
“I’ve always been at peace and felt complete when singing and making music, that alone is a motivator. My songs are inspired by life and its journey, what I experience and what I observe people experience. I put a conscious effort to make sure my music empowers, gives hope, enlightens and most importantly gives positive energy.”
One Chance introduces Asi’s collaboration with lifestyle and fashion brand Sekbi Bogolan. “I connected so much with the essence of Sekbi Bogolan, this is what led to the collaboration in the first place. Their values, mission and vision being aligned with mine, it naturally resulted in a great partnership leading to an inspiring creative journey. The goal was to inspire and empower people from all over through various art forms. With our video, One Chance, the audience will experience a unique three dimensional artistic vision: music, fashion and dance.”
“ All the songs were inspired by what Sekbi Bogolan stands for: a new way of approaching the African narrative that evolves between heritage and modernity, and lastly, celebrating diversity. In simple words, the SEKBI spirit and mine were aligned.”

After a long break from his solo projects, M3NSA (FOKN Bois, RedRed) is back again! Setting it off with ‘SDI’ featuring Amaarae… This one is for cruising!
Driving through countryside Central Europe with co – producer Andras Weil in his classic 1950’s convertible, hanging out and riding Huffy bikes, whilst capturing the palettes of suburban Accra
The video shows a very colorful, confident and relaxed M3NSA. A play on how vibrant and comfortable he remains within all his creative output .
Amaarae does her fair share of swagging up the video with her Shaolin poses, ballet pirouettes and wobbly bicycle riding, along with Akpene Hoggar, the now Miss Universe Ghana and her passenger. She DEFINITELY won because she featured in this video *wink wink*
“Still Dey Inside”, M3NSA assures us he refuses to get caught up in the pressures of expectations, just doing things properly at his own pace whilst maintaining some balance.
He also addresses the ‘hate-pocritical’ naysayers and worried observers. Amaarae complements the production with her New Wave-y Afro Soul flex. Sharp lyrics that certify her as both an emcee and singer/ songwriter.
This video is styled by Simpol Tinz, shot by photographer/ filmmaker and poet Fotombo (Mutombo Da Poet) in North Kaneshie – Accra and by photographer and DJ Bandi in Hungary. Edited by Kubolor Cini and ‘crayoned’ by Tawan Bazemore.

On August 25, Rophnan officially released his album in Addis Abeba. The My Generation concert was a major event attended by thousands – with a queue twice as long outside! The event was much more than a release party, it was the culmination of weeks of sky rocketing buzz around Rophnan, who’s come to embody the hopes of his generation.
Let’s rewind: last February, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn resigned unexpectedly, in the midst of massive protests across the country. His successor Abiy Ahmed was appointed in April, and since then a wave of hope has been sweeping across the country. Rophnan’s album and EP came out exactly at this time, and has incarnated the aspirations of his generation. The political context, combined with the very nature of the music, pioneering the junction of EDM with Ethiopian instruments and traditions, have propelled Rophnan into exponential growth.
Rophnan has become a symbol, not just for the club scene which he emerged from: his hype has gained the critical mass to push him onto the mainstream stage. His manager points out countless symptoms of this incredible growth: the number of booking requests, which now come in at half a dozen per day – most of which are turned down; Rophnan’s performance in front of 13,000 people on Mezkal Square, or more anecdotally cars blasting Rophnan’s songs even in remote villages.
It’s no surprise to see this music revolution spilling beyond Ethiopia’s borders: Rophnan’s song Get to Work is featured on Major Lazer’s recent Afrobeats mixtape, one of the very few underground songs within a line up of usual suspects: Davido, Tekno, Maphorisa etc – stream it here.
