Though he didn\u2019t start making music until he was 18, his love for music served as a bridge between American and African culture.<\/p>\n<p>Just like a perfect blend between Highlife, Afrobeats, Hip-Hop &#038; Dancehall, Kwad represents the best versions of both cultures. The rapper\/singer\u2019s music is colorful, soothing, honest and confident. Nowhere is this more evident than on his latest single \u2018Energy\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Energy\u2019 is a bouncy mid-tempo tune that sneaks up on you slowly. The opening bells lure you in and the drums hold your body in a trance forcing it to move in sync to the rhythm. Kwad enters the song with a sexy baritone belting \u201cshe a bad man killer, she got me on the road I\u2019m a dealer\u201d.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-also-kcee-opens-up-on-why-he-switched-from-secular-to-gospel-music\">ALSO: Kcee Opens Up On Why He Switched From Secular To Gospel <\/h4>\n<p>Kwad\u2019s verse sits comfortably between rapping and singing \u2013 melody driven yet lyrical. His mood and demeanor is complemented by Miochido, the featured co-star, whose soft crooning can only be described as sultry. \u2018Energy\u2019 is the perfect backdrop for a night of sensual dancing under low lights with a strong drink in hand.<\/p>\n<p>The production on \u2018Energy\u2019 is the blend between Afrobeats, R&#038;B and Island vibes that lovers of the UK scene have become accustomed to from acts like J Hus, NSG and Kojo Funds. Kwad lists Travis Scott &#038; Wizkid amongst his influences. \u2018Energy\u2019 is now available to stream\/purchase on all digital music platforms here: <strong><em>https:\/\/push.fm\/fl\/cyd5vlmq<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For further updates and information kindly visit the social media page of Kwad (Instagram: @<strong><em>Kwadgram<\/em><\/strong>)<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"770\" height=\"770\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/energy.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-829577\"   data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: Ghgossip.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&#038;version=v13.0&#038;appId=1009694476028322&#038;autoLogAppEvents=1\" type=\"0b2aa522d54701ebeb18f49f-text\/javascript\"><\/script><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kwad is used to dancing magnificently on the thin line that separates two distinct cultures without missing a step.
