Ko-Jo Cue announces new album ‘KANI: A Bantama Story’
17th October 2025
Ghanaian rapper and songwriter Ko-Jo Cue has officially announced his upcoming album, KANI: A Bantama Story, a deeply personal and culturally grounded project that promises to elevate his artistry and storytelling.
The announcement comes after the release of two powerful singles, TONTONTE and Onipa Hia Mmoa, both offering a glimpse into the themes and emotions shaping the album.
TONTONTE is an introspective record that explores growth, masculinity, and self-reflection. With a soulful rhythm and piercing honesty, Cue revisits his past, confronting both his regrets and lessons learned, while painting a uniquely Ghanaian picture of manhood and maturity.
Onipa Hia Mmoa, on the other hand, captures the emotional and moral weight of success — the balance between love and responsibility, self-preservation and service. Through vivid storytelling and sharp lyricism, Cue reflects on what it means to “make it” when your achievements carry the hopes of an entire community.
Together, the two singles signal a creative evolution for Ko-Jo Cue, blending Hip-Hop’s depth with the groove of Highlife and the bounce of Hiplife — all while staying rooted in the lyrical strength that has made him one of Ghana’s most respected rap voices.
Speaking about the forthcoming album, Ko-Jo Cue said, “KANI is my story, but it’s also every young Ghanaian’s story. It’s about where we come from, what shapes us, and how we carry it all forward.”
With KANI: A Bantama Story, Cue opens the door to a world built on truth, memory, and healing, a project that feels both deeply personal and widely relatable.
His lead singles, TONTONTE and Onipa Hia Mmoa, are currently available on all major streaming platforms.
