加纳的音乐引擎可不是靠一个厂牌运转的。当地电台和舞池里，整个国家都泡在 Afrobeats、Highlife、Hiplife 和 dancehall 的碰撞里。在这个生态里，谁说了算是在阿克拉本地实打实打出来的，一首一首歌上榜，再靠那些在歌单里霸榜十几年的歌手稳住地位。
这个声音的中心就是 Shatta Wale 和 Stonebwoy。在 MUSIGA 榜单上，Stonebwoy 以四首活跃单曲排在艺人第六，紧随其后的是三首歌的 Shatta Wale，第七。两位都在不同曲风之间来回切换，同时把本地榜单锁得死死的。
Shatta Wale，本名 Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr.，出生在阿克拉，依然是加纳 dancehall 最响当当的名字之一。本地人都叫他非洲 Dancehall 之王，他的作品大部分都是自己独立制作和操刀，热单基本都是自己录、自己母带。Graphic Online 指出，2025 年属于 Shatta Wale，还有 Wendy Shay 和 Black Sherif，部分原因就是他的单曲《Street Crown》，这首歌成了那年的标志性作品之一，在 Soundcharts 的加纳 Audiomack 榜上持续活跃。他的作品列表里有《Ayoo》《ON GOD》《Pancake》这些本地常青歌，往前还有《Fool Is The Last To Know》和 2018 年的《Bullet Proof》这类早期主打。就像一位 YouTube 网友在《Bullet Proof》下面留言说的：“我是尼日利亚人，但我爱 Shatta Wale 的音乐，请给 Shatta Wale 点赞。”之后 Shatta Wale 通过自己的 Shatta Movement Empire 发行了African King，把《God of the Universe》这样的歌送进了 Apple Music 加纳 Top 200，接着又发了单曲《One More Year》，还和尼日利亚艺人 Tekno、Bankuli 合作了他的 Afrobeats 专辑Konekt。
Stonebwoy（Livingstone Etse Satekla）在大阿克拉的阿善提地区也拥有同样忠实的粉丝群体。他通过Adom FM的Kasahare Level说唱选秀节目崭露头角，加上2012年的《Climax》和《Ghetto Love》等早期热门作品，随后创立了Burniton Music Group，并打造了贯穿Grade 1、Necessary Evil和2017年Epistles of Mama的作品目录。那个时期诞生了与Damaris合作的《One Thing》和热单《Bawasaaba》等经典。在《Bawasaaba》视频下，一位听众写道：“还有谁支持Stonebwoy就是有才华？#EOM #Bawasaaba #BHIM🔥🔥。” Stonebwoy 2023年的专辑5th Dimension将他的音乐推向Afropop和amapiano，为他的单曲《Jejerje》铺路，该曲登上加纳YouTube和Apple Music排行榜榜首。他2024年的专辑UP & RUNNIN6由Warner Music Group的ADA Worldwide发行，邀请了ODUMODUBLVCK、Duncan Mighty和Spice合作，而他的单曲《Many Times》继续在本地Audiomack轮播中占据一席之地。
当地俱乐部的轮播也经常引入侨民和地区声音。英裔加纳艺术家Eugy Official出生于加纳后移居伦敦，凭借2016年与Mr Eazi合作的《Dance for Me》、2017年Team Salut制作的《Tick Tock》以及Flavourz EP中与南非歌手Siza合作的《Captain》成为俱乐部常客。在《Tick Tock》视频下，一位观众写道：“我觉得Eugy被低估了，非常被低估。” Siza在《Captain》之后推出了与Eugy合作的首支视频《Say What You Want》，以及后来的2019年Pull Up EP。Eugy在五曲Home Run EP中直接回归阿克拉本地声音，与库马西的Jhay Bhad合作drill曲目《Show Me The Light》，与DanceGod Lloyd合作《BumBumBum》，之后又发布了2024年《He Called Me》和2025年《God Is Good》等近期单曲。
尼日利亚艺人Falz和D’Banj也依然活跃在加纳的演出圈里。Falz从法律转行做音乐后，2018年在阿克拉的AFRIMA拿下最佳非洲Rapper，之后和Medikal、Maleek Berry合作了2018年的《Next》，还跟Kwabena Kwabena一起出现在《Ghana Jollof》里。他后来发行了2025年专辑The Feast和2026年EPBreak Time。D’Banj的早期根基可以追溯到2004年在Kas的录音室跟Don Jazzy一起录歌，2018年他发布了《Action》的MV，之后也一直保持夜店演出，2024年专辑The Entertainer: D’Sequel和2025年与DJ Maphorisa、DJ OBI合作的《Tobari》都是证明。
这种轮换背后有很深的历史。Highlife起源于19世纪末20世纪初的黄金海岸，是现代性和反抗的表达，1990年代Reggie Rockstone把说唱、当地方言和街头语言跟Highlife和Dancehall混在一起，hiplife就此诞生。在今天的MUSIGA曲目统计上，Sarkodie、KiDi和Kuami Eugene遥遥领先，2025年Telecel Ghana Music Awards这样的活动也印证了这一点。国外破圈的时刻也有——Black Sherif的《Kwaku the Traveller》成为第一首登顶Apple Music尼日利亚榜的加纳歌曲，Shatta Wale则通过与Beyoncé的合作触达了国际听众。不过本地场景当下的脉搏还是属于那些霸占国内轮播的歌曲，领头的是Black Sherif 2025年发布的《Sacrifice》以及D Global和Lasmid的《Darkest Style》。

I am African American. I hope that African Americans do not become upset when I say this:
♥ 292Outside of the United States, African musicians have made an amazing concerted effort to re-Africanize music that has been mislabeled as "Salsa", "Merengue" and other names that give credit to those who "appropriated" the musical genres associated with African music and made it appear as though non-Africans are the original inventors.

The Caribbean is now another happy recipient of the progeny of Africans whose musical talents were plundered without ever receiving payment, let alone recognition. This reinvigoration of Africentric music by real Africans is now what African Americans need to pull ourselves out of the entertainment trap set by the sex-starved, Molech-worshipping, Ashkenazi leaders, who have a disgusting knack of capturing our talent when we are at our best and brightest, sexualizing not just what we sing, but sexualizing us too.
The ancestors have now sent some of her children to wake us up. Those of us who are intelligent enough to listen will heed the words of these musical griots and adjust our music to fit the spiritual needs of continental Africans and Africans in the Diaspora by relearning the languages, words, stories -- and above all, the music that has kept us alive, even when we did not know it.
Please . . . let us open our hearts and arms to African performers so that our talents are no longer sexualized by Hollywood. We owe that to ourselves and our children.
Well explained brother respect for your knowledge
