His fusion of Hip-Hop, Highlife, and Afrobeats, paired with his philosophically tinged narrative style, mirrors the creative forces behind rap titans like Jay Z, Nas, J. Cole, and Obrafour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His collaboration with Ghanaian rapper Shaker on the album &#8220;Pen &amp; Paper&#8221; in 2017 garnered accolades and caught the eye of Lauryn Hill. This earned him an opening slot on her tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, his 2019 debut album, &#8220;For My Brothers,&#8221; was hailed as a landmark in the Ghanaian rap scene, dominated the Apple  Charts, and gained a nomination for Album of the Year at the 3  Video Awards. Since 2019, he has accrued several awards, including the Adinkra Poetry Prize and an Artlink grant, for which he converted his album &#8220;For My Brothers&#8221; into a radio show aired across Europe.<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n                <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                         \n                                             \n                    <\/div><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana&#8217;s best hip-hop storyteller, Ko-Jo Cue, has announced the release of his upcoming EP, &#8220;I&#8217;m Back,&#8221; scheduled for release on November 16.
