About My Time by Dr Pushkin and Ataman Nikita
Performed over a resounding Drum and Bass dominated instrumentation, the two artists bring their respective roots to the fore. Ataman Nikita’s RnB background is further elaborated with an impressive soul-lifting vocal performance on “My Time”. Recounting the several instances that have culminated in the creation of My Time, Ataman Nikita reiterates that he’s never desired anything more than churning out amazing music.
Dr Pushkin comes in hard with bars that exude resilience and his unfettered rise as an enviable rapper. Telling the story of hurdles in his pursuits, the rapper reminds everyone that he isn’t here for the moment but for the long haul. The several releases, including the “Maths, Beats and Flow” album, The Outlandish album, and several singles, were just a precursor to now. Weaving through the My Time beat dexterously, the rapper’s use of literary devices like foreshadowing and alliterations in an impressive rhyme scheme attests to the fact that he’s laced his boots for this moment and beyond.
My Time was released today, 17th December, by Isolirium Entertainment as the last tune from the label for 2024. 2025 is set to be another jolly year for the label. Its two frontline artists have been impressive with several releases. While My Time crowns it, the other releases have been phenomenal musical masterpieces.

Dr Pushkin 2024
After hosting his events three times in 2023, Dr Pushkin decided to thrill fans and music lovers with several songs in 2024. Starting the year with No Heroes featuring Lyrical Joe, he released another innovative fusion of sounds with Kojo Cue titled “No Go Go”. On the heels of “No Go Go” came “Just Watch” with CJ Biggerman, then a banger with B-Wayne titled Empty Grave became the toast of music lovers.
Wyldthang, an American Rapper, jumped on a remix of Winning by Dr Pushkin featuring Budukusu. While on the journey to wow an audience with hit after hit, Dr. Pushkin decided to return to his second home of Kumasi by featuring Strongman Burner on Still Here. This Time around, Ataman Nikita was fully revealed in this jam.
Dr-Pushkin
With all the above releases, one would expect a break from singles. However, the incredible Dr. Pushkin dropped No Easy, featuring Gingsen and King Ayisoba. He then recruited Azkonnah and Aphee for the mind-boggling song centred on the question, Free?
More was needed to wrap the year per the standards of Dr Pushkin, so he dropped Question II. While the last release was speculated to be the wrap, he’s fallen this latest “My Time” with his brother Ataman Nikita.
Due to ill health, Ataman Nikita had to go slow on solo releases. He, however, played a role in nearly every song released by Dr Pushkin and Isolirium Entertainment.
Still Here with Dr Pushkin and Strongman Burner was his major entry point to music, however, the release of Enigma carved a path for him. His release of Beauty Queen further hinted at the uniqueness of Ataman Nikita’s vocal prowess, especially from an artiste based in Bolga. My Time, however, tells of a packed 2025 in which Ataman Nikita will release several singles and his maiden album.
Dr. Pushkin continues to release tiered musical pieces for varied listenership. This time around, he has joined forces with the soulful singer Aphee and the talented producer and dancehall artiste Azkonna. On a song titled “Free?”, the three artists present what is best described as talent, knowledge, and stellar production. Considering how saturated the music industry is, rare gems stand out with soothing pieces like “Free?”.
“Free?”, the question by Dr Pushkin, Aphee and Azkonna
“Free?” is a question. It questions our very being in relation to freedom, explores the varied definitions, and questions if we indeed are or can ever be free. It instructs the new generation on what to look out for on their journey to attain it – the invariable traps set in their way and the illusions that might distract them from achieving their full potential.
Azkonna the multi-talented artiste
Aphee has been featured on some of Dr Pushkin’s previous releases. However, Azkonna, who has produced many songs for Dr Pushkin in the past, finally agreed to bring the voice he’s been hiding to compliment Dr Pshkin’s artful music. Azkonna is one of the finest music producers to ever come from the North of Ghana. But somewhere in 2023, he decided to expose his other side to the world by getting in the booth.
He went on to release multiple bangers and produce the same for many artists in Ghana and beyond. His latest song, Instalove, is receiving a lot of commendation across multiple media platforms. With a concentration on dancehall, Azkonna’s inclusion in “Free?” is definitely an indication of how he owns his talent and presents the same in any genre. Truly talented, Azkonna’s rise as a producer and now an artiste is worth paying attention to.
Azkonna, a creative genius
The Soulful Aphee on “Free?”
On a previous song titled “Be My”, Aphee’s talent as a singer became prominent. Her subsequent stints on other songs and live shows exuded a vocal powerhouse waiting to take over. Appearing on “Free?”, she once again brought that soulful and groovy vibe to a song that enchants in several ways. Thoughtful and worthy of that tapping of feet as a result of excitement. Her voice sends some chills down even the most stone-hearted person. She’s free to express all her voice is capable of, and this feature is yet furtherance of the super-talented Aphee. For many who may not have encountered or heard her, one thing is certain: this new song she’s on will get you searching for more.
Soulful Aphee
About “Free?”
Trends and danceable rhythms dictate today’s music with little to no care about imbuing elements that probe the thought patterns of society. However, these three artists have successfully combined the elements of talent, knowledge, and a desire to see society dance and thrive through music classics. Free is a song that draws three artists from different genres to musically express thoughts on an easy yet very complex topic – freedom.
“Free?” is produced by AzkonnaBeatz for Isolirium Entertainment.
Free by Dr. Pushkin featuring Aphee and Azkonna is available on all digital platforms and all music stores.

Dr. Pushkin
This a jam ain’t no sugarcoat

On the radio uuuuuuh
We in the stereo
Jumping on stages
And setting the place aglow
Gingsen
Gingsen
Verse 1 – Gingsen
I was awake
Remember back in the day
I couldn’t count my mistakes
But me I base
Brought a change to my ways
Leveled up to the pace
The levels has changed
Even my homies don’t treat me the same
It’s a fair exchange
Been to hell and back with nothing to gain
I tell expensive tales
Kanari ena enari
They wanna know how I got it
But I gave it my whole life
I was doing the most
Cos dreams are valid
I was thinking most nights about it
On a hungry belly with no money
Soo when I win small then I chill small
Cheers to life Raise your glasses
CHORUS
Put all my blood sweat & tears
Through the valley no fears
Now allow me say cheers
Surviving these years
Champion no easy
Champion no easy
Many wars are being fought
But mans up still breathing
Verse 2 – Dr Pushkin
This a jam ain’t no sugarcoat
On the tv Murder She Wrote
On the radio uuuuuuh
We in the stereo
Jumping on stages
And setting the place aglow
Place aglow
Place aglow
Place aglow
Jumping on stages
And setting the place aglow
Jam ain’t no sugar coat
On the tv Murder She Wrote
Got The Game
Right here
She deep throat
She slurping
I’m making her choke
Fuck a hater don’t give a thought
We from Texas we keep it hot
Straight from Bolga
uhhhhhh that’s even hotter
Path to the victory
Spell it out for ya
V for the Vision
I (Eye) for Integrity
All for the CT(city)
I put O(n) for the city
R for resilience, got more in store
Y(Why)? Always Yearning for more
Your top 3 they can see me lurking
Go against me – man you out of luck kin
Better with time like i’m Benjamin Button
So unique make them look like eunuchs 🤣
CHORUS
Put all my blood sweat & tears
Through the valley no fears
Now allow me say cheers
Surviving these years
Champion no easy
Champion no easy
Many wars are being fought
But mans up still breathing

Chala – Kantosi – Chakali are three languages reported on the brink of extinction. According to Ghanalingo’s report, the number of speakers of these three languages is decreasing. In such a scenario, we must make efforts to preserve these languages.

Who Speaks the three languages, Chala – Kantosi – Chakali?
The Oti Region’s Nkwanta District and the Northern Region‘s Kpandai District both speak Chala. The Upper East region also speaks Kantosi. Sandema, Navrongo, Bolgatanga, and Wa in the Upper West Region, along with other towns, speak it. Chakali is spoken in seven villages in the Upper East Region’s Wa East District. The number of people who speak Chala is not readily available. However, an estimated 4,100 people currently speak Kantosi. Meanwhile, Chakali has approximately 3,500 speakers across the villages.
Language is a crucial, diverse element that defines every ethnic group. Thus, preserving and passing it on is an extension of cultural uniqueness. It is, therefore, problematic to hear news about entire ethnicities losing their language completely. Unlike other aspects of culture that go extinct due to proven adverse effects, language bears the brunt of acculturation and migration. What, then, is unique about people when they lose their language?
What leads to language extinction?
Language extinction occurs when natives cease to speak it. It happens for a variety of reasons. These reasons include speakers not passing on the language to the next generation. A dominant culture pressures speakers into adopting other languages. When speakers adopt a new culture, leading to a reduction in language usage, intermarriages can also lead to language loss. Several other factors contribute to language extinction, yet early detection can reverse the situation.
Losing languages such as Chala, Kantosi, and Chakali will have an impact on the native shapers’ cultural identity and heritage. If the trend persists, we will also lose traditional knowledge and wisdom.
How do we preserve Chala – Kantosi – Chakali languages?
While increasing the number of speakers is the best way to preserve languages, technology has proven to be equally effective. Artificial intelligence apps like Khaya AI, which prioritizes the digitalization of African languages for text-to-speech and speech-to-text recognition, are an opportunity for this purpose. We may want to model all these languages with AI to ensure they never fade while we work to preserve the natives’ culture.
You can read the entire publication, “Ghana’s Most Endangered Linguistic Group and the Urgency for Preservation,” HERE.
A rapidly declining number of speakers poses a threat to Chala, Kantosi, and Chakali.
