Dropping on April 22nd, Kwesi Arthur\u2019s Son of Jacob<\/em> carries high hopes. The Ghanaian rapper, over the past years, has established himself as one of his country\u2019s most prominent artists, capable of releasing the fiercest rap bars as well as making the party people dance with the sweetest Afropop melodies. As he had told us in a 2020 interview<\/a>, he grew up listening to highlife musicians like Kojo Antwi and Amakye Dede but also paying close attention to \u201cDMX<\/em>\u201d, \u201cand 2Pac and Biggie too<\/em>\u201d ; the four tapes and EPs he has released between 2017 and today are a testimony to the variety of his music influences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the past months, Arthur has been slowly but surely building a serious anticipation around his full-length debut, an important stage in any rapper\u2019s career. Starting with the Afrobeats hit \u201cBaajo\u201d with Joeboy, he went on with the heavy rap track \u201cWinning\u201d alongside Vic Mensa and came back a few months later with \u201cCelebrate\u201d, featuring Nigerian superstar Teni. He also made his fans bear with him through an intimate webseries, Road to Son of Jacob<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
