AfroGee and Kofi Kinaata team up on ‘Adom Bi’ to encourage youth
In a bid to uplift disheartened youth, singer cum rapper AfroGee has partnered with award-winning musician Kofi Kinaata on a new inspirational single, ‘Adom Bi.’
Drawing from his personal struggles, AfroGee shares in the song how God’s grace transformed his life when all other efforts failed.
“I’ve tried everything—education, hustling on the streets, and other means—but God’s grace came through in ways I never imagined,” he reflects in the lyrics, attributing his success entirely to divine intervention.
Kofi Kinaata adds his own testimony to complete the song: “I used to be overlooked and faced countless setbacks. Now, what God has done is beyond words—I need help expressing my gratitude. Today, bank alerts are flowing, and Jah never fails.”
AfroGee explained that the song was born from a deep desire to encourage the youth who may feel stuck or hopeless. “Having experienced that sense of despair myself, I knew I had to use my story to inspire others,” he shared.
He also emphasized the importance of collaborating with Kofi Kinaata, saying, “Who better to join me than Kinaata? We’re childhood friends from Effiakuma, and I know his story and talent would make this song truly impactful.”
Produced by WillisBeatz, ‘Adom Bi’ is available for streaming on all major platforms and can be accessed via [linktr.ee/mightyafrogee](https://linktr.ee/mightyafrogee).
