Rising Ghanaian-Canadian rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer Kofi today released his third single of the year, “I Know”.

Coming off his breakup-fueled track “We Don’t Make Sense”, he doubles down on provocative lyrics and unfiltered emotions, setting the tone for his unapologetic era. He effortlessly blends hip-hop and R&B in his savage quips and club-inspired percussive elements, elevating the tempo from his previous releases.  

On the background behind “I Know”, Kofi shares, “I wrote “I Know” while on tour in Europe last year. It came to me following an argument with my girlfriend who was frustrated by how much time I was spending on the road playing Volleyball and working on music. At one point she threatened to break up with me, and although it was probably for the best, there was a part of us that knew it wasn’t going happen.” 

Kofi redefines what it means to be a triple threat, as he excels in the studio, on the stage, and all over the court. Along with his passion for crafting hits, he’s an international volleyball sensation. Originally an all-star player on UCLA’s volleyball team in 2020, he left the sport behind to pursue music full time – until now. Four years and several albums later, Kofi returns to the game in France, serving as a 6’8” middle blocker on Arago de Séte. The club plays in the topflight of French volleyball’s LNV Ligue A (A-League), and Kofi is set to bring the team another championship win this season. 

Today, rising R&B artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Kofi releases a remix EP for his song, “On Me.“ The Ghanaian-Canadian talent aligned with some of his favorite Afrocentric producers for a collection of tracks reimagining the buzzy single from his latest album, Why Not, which dropped May 21, 2022

The EP features four new remixes of the Afrobeats-inspired original, including a track with Afrojack protégé DISTO, a two-step into retrofuturism with SORENA, and an AmaPiano mix with multi-platinum South African producer Yumbs. For the fourth remix, Kofi tapped Nigerian super-producer KDDO, who helped usher in the international breakthrough of Afrobeats with Davido’s hit single “Fall.” The jazzy mix also features a fiery verse from Nigerian rapper/singer Peruzzi.  

In early September, Kofi will head to Africa to perform the KDDO and Peruzzi remix live in Lagos at the Red Bull Dance Your Style Nigeria National Finals. Following the release of the remixes, Kofi will start rolling out new music from his forthcoming EP, fans can keep their ears out for a single in late September.

Breakout rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer Kofi today released his second single of the year, “We Don’t Make Sense”. The Afro-Canadian artist leans into his early hip-hop stylings, rapping harsh truths over crisp beats. While he still manages to flex his sleek vocals between the unapologetic lyrics, it’s a notable pivot from his latest bouncy single, “Impatient.” If summer called for a breakup soundtrack, Kofi has delivered. 

 On the meaning behind the song, Kofi shares, “’We Don’t Make Sense’ is about the moment you realize the relationship you’re in just won’t work; it’s time to leave the past behind and focus on yourself.”   

An all-star player on UCLA’s volleyball team in 2020, Kofi left sports behind to pursue music full time. Four years and several albums later, he returns to the game, playing for Finland’s pro league while training to compete with Team Canada. Last month, Kofi brought home a win in the Finnish championship, sweeping the series by 4-0. His elite skill in volleyball coupled with his singular production and songwriting renders him a double threat to watch this year.  

Rising Afro-Canadian rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer Kofi today released his first single of the year, “Impatient“. The atmospheric blend of Afrobeats and R&B come alive in the stunning time-lapse visualizer, portraying a relationship that has become all but background noise. Kofi’s signature sleek vocals and rhythmic percussion make for an addictive, slow-burning stand-out in a string of new singles to come.  

 On the inspiration, Kofi shares, “I wrote ‘Impatient’ from a place of missing someone for who they once were, and my desire for things to go back to how they used to be, although I know they never will.”  

 Kofi’s time in the studio has recently been balanced with returning to pro volleyball. An all-star player on UCLA’s team in 2020, he left sports behind to pursue music full time. Four years later, he ambitiously juggles both, playing for Hurrikaani Loimaa in Finland’s Mestaruusliiga league as he trains to compete with Team Canada. This past month, Kofi brought home the win for his team in the Finnish championship, sweeping the series by 4-0. His elite skill in volleyball coupled with his singular production and vocals renders him a double threat to watch this year. 

Multi-faceted artist Kofi has returned today with his anticipated six-track EP, Just To Piss You Off . True to its name, Kofi pens a collection of bold and audacious songs that flex his unfiltered attitude through smooth vocals and crisp beats. The EP opener, “Fly With Me,” featuring Toronto rapper Dom Vallie is a refreshing taste of his light and breezy flows followed by the infectious cut, “Mine” featuring BC-based trailblazer, Boslen. Trailing the toxic fan-favorite, “Uninvited” the new single, “Don’t Lie” emerges in a slick collaboration with fellow Ghanaian artist Kuami Eugene. With each cut pettier than the next, Kofi’s confidence shines in the best way through his robust musicianship, boasting songwriting, producing, mixing, and mastering credits across the entire package.  

Kofi shares, “This might be the pettiest EP I’ve ever put out… like even the sweet songs are written just to piss her off.” 

Each track in the lead-up to the EP has been accompanied by a visual representation of Kofi’s internal dilemmas and the aftermath of moving on from an intense flame. It’s the ultimate mix of passion, ego, and dynamic lyrics that have established this chapter as one of his best.
