On the 9th of October 2020, the son of Africa album by Ghanaian star Kuami Eugene was released and within the first few days it had already recorded over 100,000 streams on music store Boomplay. 

The album was also second (2nd) on Apple Music beating Nigerian’s Olamide and other artists.

Also videos of the Son of Africa Album by Kuami Eugene are still trending on youtube with Open gate the lead single chalking over three million views plus some beautiful comments from fans across Africa. 

Before the release of the album, the Ghanaian star Kuami Eugene did mention that his target for the album was to take Hi-life music to the rest of Africa and boy, he has done it. 

The 14 track album is a full representation of Ghanaian hi-life from contemporary to traditional. All the productions on the album makes a huge statement that the son of Africa is ready to take on the world but will his own people accept him? 

Well, it obvious the 2020 Ghana music awards Artist of the year Kuami Eugene has been accepted by Africa as whole and they just opened the gate for him to lead the music way. 

So far our curators at Oneplay Africa are still struggling to select their favorite song but show body ft Nigerian star Falz is leading the way. 

Talking about songs off the album, Kuami Eugene chose his features carefully for this album. 

With the likes of Eddy Kenzo, Zlatan, Falz as African features, the rockstar as he calls himself knew how to knock on the doors of Africa. Also the Ghanaian features such Sarkodie, Prince Bright, DJ Mensah, Obaapa Christy, Samini, Shatta Wale, also shows that he did not want to leave Ghana out of the whole fun as he tries to conquer Africa. 

The choice of title for the album. Son of Africa is a very bold stand, one that comes with lot of pressure and hard work.

In the past we’ve heard so many artists say they are the Prince of Afrobeats, others say the prince of Africa but for the Ghanaian star to back his stand with such a body of work, we believe he is the true son of Africa. 

Every song on Kuami Eugene’s  Son of Africa album was carefully written, all samples were beautifully done to make sure you appreciate the song for it is intended to do.

American Rapper Childish Gambino did a song two years ago that took the world by surprise. The song tackled all the recklessness and carelessness in America. The song speaks on killings in America, drugs system, bribery and corruption among many social vices in America. 

The song resonated with lot of Africans because in our part of the world, Corruption and bribery is a day to day thing but we in Africa have more serious issues than just killings and so on. We have bad leadership problem. 

So, it was not surprising that Nigerian rapper Falz did a cover of Childish Gambino’s song this is America and called it this is Nigeria. 

Two years down the line, the song is the go to song for all Africans especially Nigerians as they fight for their lives and freedom against police brutality. 

The song addresses all that is happening now in Nigeria and it is not shocking that every youth in Nigeria has jumped on the song as a reference point for morale. 

Yes, we all knew the things Falz mentioned in the song are in Africa but to witness it with our naked eyes makes it more serious. Our cancer sickness is more serious than we thought it was. 

If leaders in Nigeria can send police force to attack the youth of Nigeria because they are peacefully protesting their civil rights as citizens, then in deed, this is NIGERIA. 

Take  a listen to the song and find inspiration to either join the youth in Nigeria to fight this noble cause because who knows, that could be an inspiration to other young people in Africa to rise against bad leadership. 

We do this for not ourselves but for tomorrow’s kids – Arise all compatriots, Nigeria is calling. Come on all youth in Nigeria, serve your land.
