Jay Erl Releases ‘Bangers Only IV’ with Cinematic Flair

Ghanaian Afropop artist Jay Erl has dropped his highly anticipated “Bangers Only IV”, marking another milestone in his burgeoning musical journey. The rising Afropop artist continues to push creative boundaries with a project that’s as visually striking as it is sonically compelling.
Embracing a Marvel-inspired aesthetic, the project’s cover art ingeniously incorporates four rings. A visual metaphor reminiscent of Thanos’s iconic design. This creative choice not only symbolizes the fourth installment but also demonstrates Jay Erl’s artistic vision that extends far beyond music.
This innovative visual approach reflects Jay Erl’s commitment to storytelling beyond music, transforming the album into a multisensory experience.
Building on the success of previous volumes, “Bangers Only IV” promises a dynamic sonic landscape. The project showcases Jay Erl’s collaborative spirit, featuring multiple talented artists like Taffy, Maame Alpha, Nanasei, Deko and Mawulino who bring their unique flavours to the mix.
Fans can expect the high-energy, infectious tracks that have become the hallmark of the “Bangers Only” series.
As the year draws to a close, Jay Erl is steadily rising through the ranks and positioning himself as a creative force in Ghana’s vibrant music scene. His delivery of the project strikes as a statement in contemporary Afropop.

Kingdom Kome x RUEN see the “Cracks In The Foundation”

Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video). “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap. As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today. It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.
Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together. A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”
Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado. This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.
Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
