In early August, Ghana’s rising star artist $pacely — real name Elorm Kabu Amenyah — released a five-track extended play called ‘4 Da Pain’ featuring guest appearances from Robin Rozay, Joey B, Marince Omario, Dan Drizzy, and AratheJay. In the first track, ‘Alomo’, the Accra artist praises himself (“bad guy looking like Tony Montana”) and paints the picture of a fun Summer night with a young woman in VIP — alcohol included. On ‘Fine’, his sentiment is a continued appreciation of that special person’s sweet body and interpolates Craig David’s 2000 Pop hit record ‘Fill Me In’. For ‘Agoro’, most of the track is in a local language, so I cannot give more context, but it sounds like another song about someone’s body in a bedroom. ‘Omoge’ begs for quality time from his partner—welcoming her to spend every dollar of his money. This song was made by an individual so deep in love you may want to check their pulse often. West African people refer to that kind of person as a “finished” person.

Finally, ‘Nana’ is a song with a sensual energy that seems to tell the story of a young man who misses his significant other and celebrates or doesn’t hide his emotions. The La Même Gang member’s latest extended play is now available on streaming platforms through Labadi Music.
