Originally released in 2023, “WICKED” gets a new life with Cruel Santino’s genre-blending flair. The remix was produced by Øbed, a member of SuperJazzClub, who describes the process as spontaneous: “The beat was made in 10 minutes — it felt like painting with vibes.” The track balances a moodier tone with undeniable groove, reaffirming SuperJazzClub’s gift for creating cinematic, genre-pushing music that lives in both the alternative and mainstream.

“It’s very shocking that the original version of ‘Wicked’ is two years old already. We remember having to make this record in just under 10 minutes; the fastest we have ever made a song. Two years down the line, we are sharing the remix with Cruel Santino — an amazing Nigerian artist further strengthening our Ghana-Nigeria alliance,” the group shared in a statement.

In the words of member BiQo, “No sleep for the wicked, we double down on the wicked.”

The “Wicked (Remix)” serves as the first single off the upcoming Deluxe Edition of Monochrome Radio, SuperJazzClub’s acclaimed 2023 EP. Built on a sonic palette of early 2000s R&B, hip-hop, afro-fusion, and Ghanaian hiplife, Monochrome Radio is both a celebration of nostalgia and a futuristic experiment in African sound. The group describes it as “our expression of what we want to turn on the radio and hear,” and a nod to the past sounds that shaped them.

With more music and visuals expected soon, the collective continues to push boundaries — fusing cultures, genres, and generations.

From 46th to 3rd: Asokwa Municipal Assembly’s Remarkable Rise in Financial Governance

A year can make a remarkable difference, and for the Asokwa Municipal Assembly, it has changed everything.

After placing 46th in 2024, the Assembly has surged to an impressive 3rd position in Ghana’s 2025 Public Financial Management Compliance League Table, earning national recognition for its commitment to transparency, accountability and responsible financial management.

The Public Financial Management Compliance League Table, supported by the European Union and coordinated by the Centre for Local Governance Advocacy (CLGA), assesses all 261 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies across the country. It measures how effectively assemblies manage public funds through budgeting, procurement, revenue generation and financial reporting.

Asokwa’s score of 92.00% placed it among the very best in Ghana, with only Bia East District Assembly and Nkwanta South Municipal Assembly ranking ahead. The performance stands well above the national average of 56.20%, underlining the municipality’s exceptional progress.

Behind this success is a deliberate commitment to strengthening financial discipline. Under the leadership of Municipal Chief Executive Hon. Amoh Kamel, the Assembly has embraced reforms aimed at improving compliance with financial regulations and ensuring greater accountability in the use of public resources.

The national recognition was formally presented during an awards ceremony, where Hon. Gladys G.N. Tetteh, Deputy Executive Director of CLGA, presented the Assembly with an award acknowledging its outstanding performance. The citation commended Asokwa’s efforts in improving public financial management and maintaining compliance throughout the financial management process.

The Assembly’s remarkable improvement demonstrates what focused leadership, teamwork and dedication to good governance can achieve. Rising 43 places within a single year is a significant accomplishment that reflects consistency, careful planning and efficient execution.

Asokwa’s latest achievement not only brings pride to the municipality but also serves as a benchmark for other local assemblies striving to improve governance and accountability.

As the municipality celebrates this milestone, attention now turns to sustaining these standards and pursuing an even greater achievement in the years ahead.
