Ofori Amponsah has added his voice to Dr Pushkin’s Outlandish album, scheduled for release in the next week. Mr All 4 Real, who has been on a music hiatus, once again delivered his ever-captivating, infectious hooks on a song titled “you make me wonder.”
About You Make Me Wonder
Typical of Ofori Amponsah’s style, the song is a love tune, in this instance, enquiring about the lady’s loyalty. Performed by Dr Pushkin, Ofori Amponsah, and Jerry Kanjarga, an emerging artist from Tamale, “You Make me Wonder” is a representation of Highlife on the album.
Getting collaboration with one of Ghana’s finest Highlife musicians definitely would be no mean feat. Thus, for Dr Pushkin to score one with Ofori Amponsah, aka Mr All 4 Real, fate and belief in the craft would be the major.

Working through the year as Dr Pushkin
In the last year, Dr Pushkin has worked hard to piece together an album that resonates with the realities of life. The Texas-based Ghanaian Rapper has released music based on several perspectives. From eulogizing Harriet Tubman and highlighting great men like Dr Nkrumah and Nelson Mandela to hitting at the conscience of all with “Wake-Up” and “Lies,” one would expect a slowdown. However, following the hint of an album, “Outlandish,” scheduled for this year, the artist wasn’t ready to rest.
Aside from working with Teri Wiizi and Kwadwo Spiri in 2022, Dr. Pushkin linked up with Budukusu, formerly Quata Budukusu, for a stellar love ballad, “Need You.” The song and the accompanying video received much attention and even cranked up the YouTube Accra charts. This collaboration was a major introduction to the general Ghanaian music audience.
Dr Pushkin’s Outlandish is scheduled to be in music stores on the 26th of January, 2023. Featuring several artists from Ghana and the USA, this is a good way to start the new year officially.
The work must have been arduous for a person who works as an entrepreneur, robotics engineer, author, and AI specialist.
Dr Pushkin is multi-racial with ties to Russia, Ghana, and America. However, the generous man loves to uphold his Ghanaianess everywhere he goes. In academic circles, he is known as Dr Paul Azunre.
Dope Guyz Empire better known as DND is Navrongo’s foremost musical duo. The 2 musicians have carved a niche for themselves with a constant release of heart-piercing and thought-provoking songs & lyrics. DND Rapnaygar and DND Alonzo make up this impressive music duo.
Their music is often based on their surroundings and the experiences. With this new song, the musical duo has once again highlighted what permeates in their turf – witchcraft.
While others may perceive witchcraft to be an abstract delusion, there is a wide belief in the super-natural in most parts of Africa, and for that matter Navrongo in Ghana.
What Dope Guyz Empire Address in their song ‘Kamulimulisign’
DND of the Dope Guyz
Without delving into what is traditionally thought to be witchcraft, the 2 creatives threw wit to a beat by suggesting forms of witchcraft. The sensitive nature of this thought-of-a-song is worth acknowledging.
Titled ‘KAMULIMULISIGN’, the song addresses some evil doings in our societies. It emphasises the fact that hatred, jealousy and envy are the causes and sources of human suffering, and these bad deeds are the fertile ground for the activities of the rampant witchcraft and its adverse effects on humanity and society as a whole.
Many innocent lives have been lost, as well as destroying people with good minds for development. The song questions why witches are only and passionately interested in killing and destroying great people who have good intentions and the ability to bring development.
This song however can be seen as controversial, as it does not directly address witches, but rather an insect (specifically, a night flier).
However, since witches are said to be flying at night for their meetings and other activities, it is clear the witch here is metaphorically represented in the life and nature of a night flier (KAMULIMULISIGN).

Bag of Rocks, Soorebia’s debut album, is a dedication to form. It is a unique project conceived and shaped by hurdles as he navigates his way up to stardom. The album is an ode to his birth city and mirrors the diversity of culture and artforms that shaped his worldview and the variety of genres he dabbles.
Think of Bag of Rocks as a sealed bag containing minerals of a different kind, each with its unique richness. For Soorebia, the album is a collection of moods that he dealt with while recording the album.
“After winning the Next Rated Act at the 2020 edition of 3Music Awards, there was a lot of expectations from my fans and friends to breakthrough, and that never happened. Although COVID affected the industry so much then, I still felt I could not use the award to propel myself because of the limited financial muzzle. So, I began blaming everything on money that was when I wrote the verses for monopoly”. Soorebia revealed during his Album listening.
Songs on Bag of Rocks
Monopoly is a dancehall jam, where Soorebia turned his emotions to music speaking to the money and wealth as power distributors, which shapes the success of people in society to a more significant extent.
Soorebia-m-final
There is no emotion without love, and I’m Ready with One Nira is an appreciation of the friends and loved ones who stuck by him through thick and thin. His storytelling ability that weaves in the sultry vocals of One Nira on the hook establishes the work as not just an album but a life at play.
Through an ebb and flow performance on an Afro-Trap beat by long-time in-house producer AzkonnBeatz, Soorebia talks about nightlife and the vibe that comes to light when he is with his clique in Voole.
AzkonnaBeatz magically infused traditional African two-stringed guitar, referred to as Kologo in Local parlance, into Hip Hop sub-genre Trap beats. But the magic did not end with Voole. In Feeling, AzkonnaBeatz repeats a similar algorithm. This time, Brooklyn Inspired Drill beats, thereby pioneering new sub-genres as Afro-Trap/Afro-Drill. “Feeling” is a celebration of emotional and mental vitality.
In this project, Soorebia is selfless in recording an album that does not target just one set of his fanbase as rap heads who want it. “There is a rock for everyone”, he said when asked about the type of music the album is made of.
In celebrative moods, Soorebia shares a toast to life with the young, celebrated Rapper/Singer Fad in One Toast. The song sees Soorebia looking back at life whilst being optimistic about the success that awaits him. “I have been there and done that, like a wheel on the street I still run that, all day all night not redundant, it’s rampant, I work till I need me an accountant.”. This lyric portrays Soorebia’s current mindset as he continues his career. In this song, he goes spiritual, leaning to God to do the rest.
Soorebia-2-normal
On track 6 tilted Star, Soorebia decided to go south, not figuratively, but literally as he hops on South Africa bread Amapiono music. In this song, Soorebia delivers about 90 percent in Frafra, a Ghanaian language. In fact, some historians trace the origin of the Frafra people to South Africa. Cultural Similarities such as tone of language, traditional hunting, and funeral practices have been cited by some historians as what connects the two cultures. Star, therefore, fits perfectly into a typical Amapiono music although the song contains elements of Afrobeats.
The Album can also be perceived as an ode to his birthplace, and this is manifested in track 7 All Yours. Performed on traditional Kololgo rhythms, Soorebia sums up the important theme of the Album in this love song.
Summary on Bag of Rocks
The choice of songs in this album departs from Soorebia’ s typical aggressive rap that he is known for. But this did not come as a surprise as he has experimented with several genres and styles over the years. It also fits perfectly into the story told in the album and matches the diversity of cultures and experiences he has had growing up.
The richness of the sound, its representation of Africa, and the sonic quality are a mark of maturity and investment that Soorebia and AzkonnaBeatz have witnessed over the years. Bag of Rocks is an essential album for the growing Ghanaian/African Music and a true sound of Africa for the continent and global audience.
Soorebia has been a mainstay in the music from the Upper East of Ghana. Many regard him as peerless. This incredible rapper has chosen Bag of Rocks to express the fact that he is an embodiment of musical talent. His dexterous delivery on this album has further solidified his stature. While he awaits the big break, he continues to churn out amazing music for all.
Check him out on all digital platforms for exclusive releases.
We will be doing an entire piece on his discography soon. For now, Bag of Rocks.
Goggi is the first song from TiD Avare this year. It is basically a dance song, with prayer as lyrics. The young rapper proves to be versatile with his flow by marching the fast instrumentation boot for boot.
Despite being very danceable, the song is rich in content. The rapper prays away misfortunes by citing instances that would elude him. From accidents to Covid-19, the rapper says god’s grace will see him escape. Considering the damning effects of alcohol in the Builsa area, the young rapper prays away any incidents of alcoholism.
From all indications, Goggi emanates from the very nature of almost all African ethnicities. Dance is deeply embedded in most aspects of our culture. Goggi, therefore, charges us to pray heartily whilst dancing.
TiD Avare
About TID Avare
The senior high school student appears to have a knack for rap. Often blending phrases in English with Buli, the rapper remains a delight to the ear. With his kind of voice texture, flow, and cadence, I may be right in saying we have our own Sarkodie in the making.
Buli is not the easiest language to rap in. Even worst, rapping in the dialect spoken in Chuchuliga. However, the first time I heard “Firewood” by this amazing artiste, I knew some fire was coming. A follow-up song that featured him further revealed the Chuchuliga native is an emerging enigma.
With this new song titled “Goggi”, I can only expect a rise to the top.
The song is produced by Kobby Beats of Savanna Records. Listen and Download ‘Goggi” below.
TiD Avare has been on just three songs, yet he’s proven to be an enigma. As a rap enthusiast, I’ve often bemoaned the inadequate number of Buli rappers; TiD Avare however unpacks that paradox.
He is not an average rapper. Thus far, the Senior High School student has been impressive.
Check out previous works from the young god.
Shoutouts to Honcho Neggar for introducing me to this talent.
