Ghanaian rapper and songwriter Ko-Jo Cue has officially announced his forthcoming album, KANI: A Bantama Story, a deeply personal and culturally rich body of work set to redefine his artistry and storytelling legacy.
The announcement follows the release of two standout singles, TONTONTE and Onipa Hia Mmoa, each offering a window into the world Cue is building with KANI.
TONTONTE is a reflective, soul-stirring record about growth, manhood, and the process of reckoning with one’s past. It’s built on layers of emotion — regret, humour, and self-awareness — as Cue examines the complexities of masculinity and maturity through a uniquely Ghanaian lens. With its blend of smooth rhythm and piercing honesty, TONTONTE sets the tone for the kind of vulnerability KANI promises.
Meanwhile, Onipa Hia Mmoa speaks to the emotional and moral weight of success — the tension between love and obligation, self-preservation and service.
Cue uses vivid storytelling and poignant lyricism to reflect on what it means to “make it” when your wins carry the weight of an entire community. It’s a song that hits at the intersection of faith, responsibility, and humanity.
Together, the two records mark a creative and emotional evolution for Ko-Jo Cue — one that fuses Hip-Hop’s introspection with the groove of Highlife and the bounce of Hiplife, wrapped in the lyrical depth that has made him one of Ghana’s most respected voices.
Speaking on the upcoming album, Cue shared: “KANI is my story but it’s also every young Ghanaian’s story. It’s about where we come from, what shapes us, and how we carry it all forward.”
With KANI: A Bantama Story, Ko-Jo Cue invites listeners into a world of truth, memory, and healing — a project that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.
TONTONTE and Onipa Hia Mmoa are available now on all major streaming platforms.
