TRAPfrica Records Presents ‘INSTINCT’: G TEMPOH’s New Mixtape
TRAPfrica Records presents the latest milestone from G TEMPOH, the first American Afrobeats duo, as they drop their highly anticipated mixtape, ‘INSTINCT’. This six-track project blends Afrobeats, AfroTrap, and global influences, redefining contemporary African music.
Featuring tracks like “MOTTOH,” “Welcome to TRAPfrica!,” “HONEST,” “PROSPER,” “CALL BACK,” and “NAYA,” each song showcases the duo’s versatility and signature TRAPfrican sound, capturing the essence of African rhythms while infusing elements of trap and drill.
The duo, consisting of OG Picasso and G’Latto Osei, brings a fresh perspective to the Afrobeats scene by integrating energetic rap flows, soulful melodies, and high-energy beats that cater to a global audience. Their innovative approach to music production and storytelling has positioned them as pioneers in the evolving AfroTrap genre.
Fresh off winning Ghana Entertainment Awards’ Discovery of the Year, OG Picasso continues making an impact following collaborations with Wyll Power, Edem, and Gambo on the global hit “DRIP” remix. G TEMPOH has performed on major stages, including Kuami Eugene’s Toronto Caribana show and Ghana Music Awards USA. Their high-energy stage presence and dynamic performance style have captivated audiences, solidifying their reputation as one of the most exciting new acts in the Afrobeats scene.
The duo is set for collaborations with Grammy-winning producers LeriQ and Herb Middleton, Nigerian hitmaker UCee, and Ghanaian Afrobeats stars Edem and Gambo. These upcoming releases are expected to push their sound even further into international markets, expanding their reach and establishing their brand as a force in the industry.
G TEMPOH embodies more than music—it’s a movement redefining TRAP as “Those Representing African Prosperity.” Their mission is to bridge the gap between Africa and the diaspora through music, culture, and storytelling.

A Song for Family, Love, and Life’s Beautiful Complexity
Acclaimed cellist, vocalist, and composer Hope Easton announces the release of her latest single, “3D Life,” a vibrant, funny, and deeply personal song written for her niece and goddaughter, Leylan, on the occasion of her wedding to David. The song is now available on all major streaming platforms.
Blending humor, sentimentality, and a rich musical palette, “3D Life” captures the spirit of a modern wedding anthem—with a wink. Easton draws from inside family jokes, generational wisdom, and musical traditions to craft a piece that feels as timeless as it is tailor-made.
“It’s her wedding song—with a little humor, it could easily be in Wedding Crashers,” says Easton with a smile. “It’s really about life, and how we go through everything together.”
The track reflects on family legacy—quoting the bride’s grandfather’s dry wit (“You can’t always be happy” after watching someone get married) and celebrating the bride’s connection to her talented maternal grandmother, Easton’s own mother. With loving candor, Hope jokes that Leylan is the only one of six nieces who can’t sing—but inherited all the other gifts. “In the end,” Easton says, “it’s about love. We’re all here to love one another, or we wouldn’t be here.”
“3D Life” concludes with a nod to the couple’s new shared last name, now known affectionately as “The Swifts.”
