Arathejay’s Mesmerizing Glitch Africa Performance Proves He’s Ghana’s Next Big Thing
Ghanaian artist Arathejay continues his meteoric rise with a stellar live performance on Glitch Africa’s “Next Up.” Wrapped in his signature denim ensemble and balaclava mask, Arathejay delivered a captivating rendition of his viral hit “Jesus Christ II,” featuring Black Sherif.
The performance, widely lauded for its electrifying energy and seamless execution, emasises his growing reputation as one of the most exciting talents in Ghanaian music today.
Arathejay’s artistry has been steadily permeating the African music scene, thanks to his remarkable year in 2024. This comes after he surprised fans with a cameo appearance at Tidal Rave, sharing the stage with Black Sherif as the duo performed the record for the first time – a performance that left the crowd in awe.
His hit song “Jesus Christ II” released in August, has dominated streaming platforms, consistently charting at the No. 1 spot and earning widespread admiration from Ghanaians and music lovers across the continent.
2024 has proven to be a breakthrough year for Arathejay. Following the success of his debut project “Finding Nimo: The Capsule,” he has gained critical acclaim for blending Ghanaian musical traditions with fresh, innovative sounds.
His artistic trajectory reached new heights this October when Apple Music named him the “Up Next” artist for Ghana. This further establishes him as one of the most promising acts to watch from Ghana.
Arathejay’s latest live performance on Glitch Africa is just another testament to his undeniable talent and ever-growing influence on the music scene.
As if dropping a three-pack project filled with bangers was not eye-catching enough, Burgeoning Ghanaian talent NSRB Dray has served another masterpiece with the release of his new single “Eye for Eye.”
Known for singing from raw emotions, NSRB Dray takes it a step further in this new release where he talks about being in a state of despair and self-doubt.
However, there’s no doubt about his intentions on the record. NSRB Dray goes in hard from the first beat drop on the YNT Deezy-produced track.
On “Eye for Eye,” he glides on the boppy instrumentals for two minutes straight, highlighting the world’s abundance of greed, unforgiveness, ego, and pride.
He opens with his version of the famous Mahatma Gandhi saying, “An eye for an Eye leaves the world blind,” before letting his baritone vocals shine through what can pass a “here’s how the world works” pep talk to the listeners.
The record boasts of superior rawness draped around melodious saxophone sounds by Sam Aryee, missing in so many fine-tuned street-preaching jams lately. NSRB Dray’s delivery stands out as the lyrics pierce the ears and hearts of the listeners to nod and note down.
He shared the reason for his choice of lyrics exclusively to Amplify Ghana, stating that his never-give-up spirit pushed him to send a message of hope to his audience.
“Eye for Eye is a music piece written in a state of disrepair and self-doubt. It talks about not giving up and staying well composed in every situation,” he explained.
After dropping “PLAN B” which touched on a similar subject matter, last year, this new release could easily pass as his master plan, but the singer’s unpredictability and versatility means fans can expect different sounds from him.
“Eye for Eye,” is NSRB Dray’s 2025 welcome message. It was mixed by the singer and mastered by talented sound engineer QID Korle.
