Ghanaian sensational musician Sweetkid has officially released his much-anticipated song “Life.”
Occasionally, an artist serves as a reminder of what resilience looks like. Sweetkid, a gifted musician from Tarkwa, Ghana, is that artist today. His story is about taking a step back, fighting silent wars, and then returning with a shout; it’s not just about rhythms and bars.
I had the opportunity to listen to Sweetkid’s upcoming release, and I must say that it’s more than simply a great song—it’s a message.
Sweetkid’s journey through music started years ago, with raw energy and passion that instantly drew people in. But in 2018, life knocked him off course. Not by choice, but by circumstance. He stepped away from the spotlight, leaving behind a trail of fans and unfinished dreams. Still, the fire never went out. He watched, waited, and most importantly, grew.
Now, in 2025, Sweetkid is back — and this version of him is nothing like we’ve seen before. He’s returning stronger, more focused, and with a sound that reflects both the pain of his past and the power of his growth.
What makes this comeback even more special? He’s dropping the track tomorrow, on his birthday. Talk about timing.
“This isn’t just a song,” He says. “It’s my second chance. I’m not holding back this time.”
And after listening to the new track, I believe him.
So to all music lovers and fans who’ve been waiting for something real, raw, and refreshing—get ready. Sweetkid is not just back; he’s back for good.

Miss Western Ghana has finally unveiled its 2025 contestants; this beauty pageant is organized yearly by EXONE Entertainment and other media partners to help the people of Ghana with their developmental programs.
According to EXONE Entertainment, the primary goal of this year’s Miss Western Ghana pageant is to encourage development in Ghana through entrepreneurship initiatives and hands-on skills training.
Miss Western Ghana’s primary motto is “Impacting on the lives of the youth through hands-on skills training and entrepreneurship programs,” and the previous winners from 2019 to this point have demonstrated a strong dedication to the entire initiative.
The 2021 journey was amazing; media outlets in the western region did a great job of advertising the dream, and Exone Entertainment provided fresh plans that added to the overall attractiveness.
Miss Jemima, who traveled from Tarkwa Esuaso to compete in the 2021 program, was declared the winner. Without forgetting the show’s primary goal of assisting the people of the Western Region with hands-on skills training and entrepreneurship programs, she has been one of the best winners to date by participating in numerous developmental projects in the region.
Speaking with Exone in an audio interview, he said, “Miss Western is not about cultural and heritage kinds of stuff; we are focused on providing hands-on skills training and entrepreneurship programs for the people of Ghana.”
The CEO brought this incredible program to help the government lower the unemployment rate by giving free hands-on skills training to the young people of Ghana because he feels that no government in Ghana can entirely transform our system for us.
He clarified that their entrepreneurship and hands-on skills training programs are open to everyone, and the Miss Western Ghana winners have been performing exceptionally well since 2019.
According to Exone, he is pleased with the outcome thus far. He also made a strong remark, saying that the winner of the Miss Western Ghana title has a responsibility to influence, change, and instruct the people of Ghana and beyond in hand skills.
Below is the full list of Miss Western Ghana 2025 contestants.

Monalisa by Beniikay
Who Is Beniikay
Born on December 16th, 2002, Beniikay (Benjamin Kwofie) has deeply admired music from a young age. This admiration quickly turned into a passion that inspired him to create and develop his unique sound. Influenced by the rhythmic beats and energetic vibe of Afrobeat, Beniikay has devoted himself to perfecting his craft, blending vibrant melodies with infectious rhythms.
With no particular external inspiration, his love for music becamethe foundation of his artistic journey. As an Afrobeat artist, Beniikay’s work reflects his commitment to rhythm, culture, and creative expression. Through his music, he aims to connect with listeners and bring people together through the universal language of sound.
One of the fastest-rising Ghanaian singers, Sally M, has officially released a brand new song titled Celebrate, produced by Tape Masters.
Sally was born on 4th June 2000 in the Western region of Ghana, Sekondi to be precise. Her real name is Sally Mugabe Hayfron, and she is known for her strong strength in making Afrobeats music.
She has been living in the twin city, Sekondi-Takoradi, almost all of her life.
The song’s lyrics are an anthem of thankfulness and fortitude. She sings about choosing joy even when the odds appear stacked, overcoming the noise, and persevering through the dark.
Honoring the journey is more important than simply planning a party. Her comments resonate with anyone who has had to fight for their peace or discover brightness in the face of difficulty because they are both familiar and empowering.
Ghanaian songstress and afrobeat artist Gyakie has taken over the trends with her After Midnight album. According to her, this studio album is highly inspired by the quiet, reflective, and creatively charged hours that follow midnight, when emotions run deep, inspiration flows, and the world feels at its stillest.
The songbird said, “Almost all the songs on the album were recorded after midnight. It’s within those hours that I find my best inspiration to write. The peace, the sounds from the birds, the serenity—everything about that time fuels my creativity.”
Beyond just music, the album reflects Gyakie‘s emotional journey and personal experiences. “I’ve also shed a lot of tears after midnight. “I plan my tears for when I get home from work, and then I let it all out,” she says when she’s feeling low.
The concept of the record is also closely related to Gyakie’s childhood. Whenever she and her siblings are together, she remembers a treasured family custom in which her mother would always pray for them after midnight. “It was and still is a routine. For me, that time of night is really significant.
