Dr. Pushkin, along with collaborators Jon Connor and Ataman Nikita, is set to drop a track that challenges the status quo and empowers listeners to take control of their lives. In this article, we’ll explore the meaning behind No Miracles, its message of empowerment, and why this track is set to make waves in the music industry.
No Miracles Release September 2025 | Empowerment Anthem by Dr. Pushkin | Global Collaboration with Jon Connor & Ataman Nikita
Table of Contents
What is No Miracles All About?
In a world where many wait for external forces to bring about change, No Miracles delivers a refreshing message of self-empowerment. The song rejects the notion of “waiting for miracles”. Instead, it emphasises that the real power to change comes from within. The powerful lyrics resonate with anyone tired of waiting for things to change magically and is ready to take charge of their future.
Key lyric from the song:
“I don’t need no miracles,
Just the truth, my intuition,
And hope it’s mercy on my soul…”
Dr. Pushkin, Jon Connor, and Ataman Nikita together voice the frustrations of those who have been disillusioned by broken promises and societal structures that hinder personal growth. This track is a call to action for anyone who’s been waiting for a miracle and now realises that the only miracle they need is the belief in themselves.
The Power of Self-Empowerment Through Music
One of the most potent elements this song is its universal message. The song taps into the universal human experience of feeling powerless and challenges us to stop relying on external forces—whether that’s politicians, society, or anyone else. With lyrics like “I can be great on my own,” the song speaks to those who’ve realised that the power to change their lives lies within them.
In a world of social media influencers and empty promises, this anthem is a bold statement that reminds us all of our inherent power. No Miracles is more than a song; it’s a reminder that change starts with you.
The Global Collaboration That Brought No Miracles to Life
What makes the song truly special is the global collaboration between Dr. Pushkin, Jon Connor, and Ataman Nikita. While these three artists each bring their unique voices to the track, the production also plays a critical role. Phredxter, from Ghana, and Homie Xco, from Nigeria, collaborated to give the song a fusion of African and American musical influences, resulting in a track that feels both international and intimately personal.
Whether you’re vibing to the album version or the Homie Xco remix, it is bound to hit home with its mix of hip-hop energy and empowering lyrics. This fusion of cultures not only adds to the track’s appeal but gives it a global reach that is much needed in today’s fragmented world of music.

In a groundbreaking achievement for Northern Ghanaian music, the music video for “Empty Grave” by Dr. Pushkin and B-Wayne has officially become the most-streamed music video from Northern Ghana on YouTube, currently nearing 1.6 million views in just seven months.
Empty-Grave
Shot at the iconic Red Clay Studio in Tamale by visionary director Junaid Timtooni Yakubu and his talented team, the video has now surpassed the legendary “Total Cheat” by Fancy Gadam and Sarkodie. This track held its dominance for eight years.
What makes this milestone even more extraordinary is that “Empty Grave” reached this height without the usual advantages:
No big-name Southern Ghanaian feature
No mainstream media coverage
No industry gatekeeper support or co-sign
Instead, its rise has been powered by its raw authenticity, cinematic brilliance, and a deeply resonant social message—proof that true artistry can thrive on merit and purpose alone.
The track, written by Paul Azunre and Bismark Sombilla and produced by Paul Azunre, Dreamlife & Memory, and Peewezel, stands as a compelling piece of conscious music that refuses to compromise. Its artistic excellence has also been recognised on the international stage, with multiple awards already won and more nominations on the horizon.

Tas Tas is pure musical genius. Presented by the musical collective Savannah Sonics, the recruited musician for this particular song exudes a “show-off”. Each with an enviable stature as a creative, Gingsen, Wiz Child, and Ntelabi prove why they stand out amongst their peers. With an impeccable production quality, Tas Tas is a reminder of the musical prowess that abounds in northern Ghana.
Tas Tas comes on the heels of Northug’s assertion of neglect by mainstream Ghanaian media. However, productions like this further advance the discourse of looking beyond Accra for talented musicians. Music is one of the few elements of life that holds everyone spellbound. Thus, there’s a need to deliberately find more music outlets to quench the respective musical thirsts of all.
In an effort to continue the agenda of ensuring we amplify Northern Ghana through thesavannonline and its affiliates; we have curated playlists to make your search for good music from the North of Ghana easy on Audiomack, Spotify, and Boomplay for now. We will periodically update the list to ensure you get the best from all the regions. You can search Smock Rhythms for our carefully put together playlists.
Below is one of our playlists labeled Smock Smooth Vibez. It is a collection of soulful rhythms and mellow grooves that soothe the soul. Smooth Vibes brings you the best of Afro-soul, neo-soul, and chill melodies from Northern Ghana. Powered by thesavannaonline.com
