• The Villain I Never Was by Black Sherif

• Jamz by Sarkodie

The Ghana rap legend wouldn’t let the year end without letting his fans enjoy his eighth studio album ‘Jamz’ which is a beautiful body of work. He features Black Sherif, Cina Soul, Lojay Ink Boy, King Promise, Oxlade, Joeboy, Kranium and BNXN on the 10-track album. 

• G.I.N.A by Amerado 

The Kumasi-based rapper created 10 incredible songs with Fameye, Epixode, Gidochi, and other artists. This album also includes appearances by Laioung, Eno Barony, Lasmid, Efya, and Simba.

• Songs of Peter by Fameye

Fameye outdid himself in this 13-track album. He features Kwesi Arthur, Pure Akan, Amakye The Rapper, Ofori Amponsah, Akodaa Seden, and Suzzway among others. The project is the rapper's sophomore album. 

• 4Play by KiDi

This one is special by KiDi. The four tracks in this album are a deep concoction of the brewed craft amazingly served to his fans. He gives an aspect of meditation, a different sound with Amapiano and captures a barrage of emotions. 

• Son of Jacob by Kwesi Arthur

Kwesi Arthur made a show with his debut album ‘Son of Jacob’ which is why music pundits term it brutally honest. Throughout this album, Kwesi sings in his native Twi language. However, bits and pieces of English are infused to buttress the message in his records. When you piece these fragments together, you get the impression that they are supporting a topic that is both depressing and spiritual. Then, ‘Adom’ is the real deal in this album.

• Cross Roads by Medikal, Shatta Wale

In one of Ghana’s unique cases, Dancehall star and legendary rapper Medikal teamed up and released a 10-track collaborative album without any guest appearances. A Medikal and Shatta Wale combo is only bound to produce classic records. 

• 10Thirty by MzVee

There are 10 powerful songs on the album, some of which include well-known musicians from Ghana and Nigeria. Bella Shmurda, Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage, Stonebwoy, Kwesi Arthur, and Kofi Kinaata were among the artists she featured.

DJ Henryx and Tanzanian artist Harmonize both appeared on this album produced by Kizzy Beats. 10Thirty is MzVee's fifth studio album and her official re-announcement and re-emergence to the scene. Download the album HERE. 

• King of Melodies by Kweku Flick

According to Kweku Flick, the ‘King of Melodies’ album gives him a new face in the highlife music scene. The six-track project incorporates a unique style of music with "Asakaa" vibes.

• The Kadosh (Live) by Joe Mettle 

Joe Mettle touched hearts in special ways in his 7th studio album that is ‘The Kadosh (Live).  His single ‘Kadosh is one of the most amazing tracks in this 11-track album.
