Magic Rocker set to release three new singles
This year, three new tracks by Ghanaian disc jockey (DJ) and performer Richard Essien better known on stage as Magic Rocker will be released in Ghana.
His previous smash singles “Baby U Are Hot” and “Talk Dirty,” which were released last month, are followed by the three new hits ‘Who Are You, No More War, and Lion King.’
The three mid tempo tracks with danceable beats suitable for any social gathering, according to the Ghanaian singer and songwriter, feature real African rhythms and seductive vocals that will have listeners listening to the songs repeatedly.
He recently revealed that his music career is not based on awards and honours.
His ability to effortlessly combine the moods of highlife and afro rhythm with accessible words in his music has won him followers all over the world.
The ferocious anthem “Who Are You” highlights Magic Rocker’s formidable presence. The songs for Gavali Music were produced by renowned beat producers Magic Rocker, Mr. Sarge, King Jay, and Kofi.
The song is the ideal fusion of intense rhythms and captivating melody.
This song, ‘No More War’, explores the desires and hardships related to the need for independence.
His flexibility as an artiste is demonstrated by his ability to address a wide range of topics through his music, from socio-economic realities to empowerment.
‘Who Are You’ and ‘Lion King’ both demonstrate his dedication to maintaining his artistic integrity while pursuing new artistic frontiers.
Magic Rocker has once again shown that he is a force to reckon with.
According to him, “I have a lot of unreleased music, but I decided that at this stage of my career, it will be appropriate to release these two singles to fan the flames I started earlier in the year,” Magic Rocker said.
Magic Rocker, whose songs are well-known in a number of countries, including Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, Cote d’Ivoire, and the United States of America (USA), stated that music has not turned out the way he had hoped and that he wants to utilise it to elevate Ghana’s profile abroad.
After listening to the tracks, many disc jockeys (DJs) already think that the songs will become hits in the music industry and could even win awards in the following year with the right
promotional approach.

Ayisi teams up with Fameye for Highlife classic “Sika”
In a follow-up to his successful collaboration with Worlasi on “Everyday People,” Ayisi has once again partnered with prolific songwriter Fameye for a timeless highlife track titled “Sika,” which translates to “Money.”
This track is expected to make waves across Ghana and beyond, as it speaks to the universal pursuit of financial stability in a meaningful, melodious way.
Money, as Ayisi rightly points out, is a universal and never-ending topic of discussion. In “Sika,” both artists reflect on the role money plays in life and the lengths one must go to secure it.
Ayisi emphasizes a strong work ethic, noting that laziness will only lead to hunger and hardship. His message is clear: one must take action and pursue financial stability to navigate life successfully.
On the other hand, Fameye’s verse focuses on the idea of self-reliance when it comes to wealth. He highlights that becoming wealthy is something he must achieve on his own, without waiting for handouts or relying on others.
Fameye’s perspective complements Ayisi’s, creating a well-rounded narrative about ambition, responsibility, and financial independence.
“Sika,” produced by GroovyWrld, is deeply rooted in the classic highlife sound—a genre that has long been a cornerstone of Ghanaian music. The soulful melodies make it an instant classic that evokes a sense of nostalgia, while the contemporary twist keeps it fresh for today’s audience.
Ayisi, widely respected for his independent spirit and unique musical style, has typically preferred working alone, cultivating his own space in the industry. However, his recent collaborations signal a new chapter in his career, one that is more collaborative and expansive.
Through these collaborations, Ayisi is not only broadening his creative horizons but also offering his fans new and exciting musical experiences.
With “Sika,” Ayisi and Fameye remind us that while money may not be everything, the drive to earn and sustain oneself is essential to success.
