Ghanian Rapper Kweku Smoke Steps Into His Own In New Album, “Walk With Me”

Ghanian rapper Kweku Smoke’s new album “Walk With Me” underscores his ambition to define Ghana’s modern trap / melodic-rap frontier. The album leans into raw production through heavy 808s, stark drums, low-lit bass pockets, yet pairs it with melodic flows and moments of reflection, signalling a shift in tone more than a change in identity. 

Kweku’s vocal delivery remains centred in Twi, English and Ghanaian urban idioms, drawing on the street-wise foundation he built earlier (from Berekum origins to Accra recognition). 

The rapper balances asserted confidence (crowning himself “trap president”), the self-designation on tracks like “Bro Code”, with introspective passages (“Emere,” for instance) that widen the emotional field. 

The album keeps guest features minimal and purposeful. That restraint suggests Kweku Smoke is keen to frame “Walk With Me” as a personal statement, not a feature-heavy blockbuster. Some listeners found his sound too repetitive. 

In a Ghanaian music scene where trap and afrobeats often mingle and blur, “Walk With Me” stakes Kweku’s ground as a continuation of his own evolution. It’s less about proving he’s here, more about demonstrating how he’s choosing to walk.
