Gino Black shares his thoughts on what it takes to earn the love of ‘A GOOD WOMAN’.
This new song by producer/artist Gino Black, is part exposé and part love song. The atmospheric vocalizing that fires up the production of “A GOOD WOMAN” is a precursor to one hell of a loving communication. The drums are hard and soft at the same time. The texture of this musical excursion is ambient, lush and sensual. This is exotic hip-hop. The balance of grit and elegance is flawless.
“A GOOD WOMAN” is another well written moment of male transparency and honesty with the intention of redemption by Gino Black. The initial verse covers how men tend to take their devoted women for granted and show no remorse for their misdeeds. Gino Black candidly and firmly speaks on how many young men fail to rise to the responsibility of head of household and many older men show no signs of maturity. The second verse of this song, he switches focus from scolding young men to his undying appreciation for the love of his good woman. He rhymes about how he adores his new found love and lifestyle with his companion.
The overall message in “A GOOD WOMAN” is a pure and honest reflection of a man who sees the value of partnership within his relationship. Gino Black is testifying for men who have fallen short, but can redeem themselves.

For Benicio, music is a way of bringing together the different worlds that have shaped him.
His new single ‘EVE’ does exactly that, blending the unmistakable sound of Ghanaian HipLife with Afroswing and contemporary UK rap. Joined by fellow collaborators COLLINZ and SLO, Benicio delivers an upbeat, romantic track built around a recognisable sample from Ghanaian HipLife legends VIP.
At its heart, ‘EVE’ is a celebration of attraction and admiration, but for Benicio, the track represents something much deeper: the meeting point between his British upbringing and Ghanaian heritage.
“It means everything to me because I feel like it’s where my two worlds intersect. I’m combining my interest in rap music with my Ghanaian heritage. It perfectly symbolises my upbringing in a way which feels authentic to me on all fronts.”
The track itself came together organically during a studio session with SLO. Benicio immediately began writing to the beat, initially treating the idea as a freestyle, before SLO reworked the structure into the finished record.
Longtime friend and collaborator COLLINZ was then brought in for an additional verse, with Teigr handling the mix. Adding an especially personal touch, Benicio’s girlfriend also contributed background vocals to the chorus.
The result is a fun, energetic and romantic introduction to Benicio’s next chapter.
That chapter follows his work with the RUDEWRLD collective, whose Dreams Worth Fighting For tape reached the Top 15 of Ghana’s All Album Charts and Top 5 of Ghana’s World Genre Chart. His music has also received playlist support from Spotify and Apple Music.
Now, with his forthcoming debut mixtape A Beautiful Day on the horizon, Benicio is stepping further into his own artistic identity.
‘EVE’ captures that intersection perfectly: infectious, personal and unapologetically rooted in who Benicio is.
