I am not back for applause – Ghanaian rapper Kwesi Slay

Ghanaian hip-hop/hip-life heavyweight Kwesi Slay has made a bold return to the music scene after a prolonged hiatus, reigniting the mic with renewed lyrical fire, creative clarity, and a deeper artistic resolve.

Born Bernard Kwesi Appiah, the Ashaiman-based rapper first cemented his place in Ghana’s rap elite with gritty, street-savvy anthems such as “3y3 Normal” with Yaa Pono and the viral breakout “Seven” featuring Kwesi Arthur. His sound became the soundtrack of almost every youth, fusing raw energy with social commentary.

Slay went silent for over a year , a move that stirred both concern and speculation among fans and industry watchers. But now, with new music in the pipeline and a sharpened voice, Kwesi Slay has made it clear: his break was not an exit, but a reset.

“I needed to disconnect in order to realign. It was a period of recalibration and creative rebirth,” the rapper said “Sometimes silence is the loudest form of preparation. I’ve lived, I’ve grown, and now I’m ready to speak again, louder than ever.”

His upcoming releases are expected to be soul-baring and hard-hitting, blending poetic introspection with street realism, a sonic evolution fans are already calling “Slay Season.”

Kwesi Slay’s return reaffirms his authenticity. Known for collaborations with Medikal (“Frass”), Quamina MP (“Pussy Cat”), and Kuami Eugene (“Follow Me”), the rapper has consistently pushed boundaries while staying true to his roots.

“This is not about reclaiming fame,” he said. “It’s about representing a truth, mine and that of every dreamer who’s ever had to pause to gather strength.”

According to his management, his re-entry will include collaborations with both local and international talents, alongside a potential headline tour. They also confirm that he’s working on a multi-track project set for release later this year.

With crisp production, sharpened flows, and deeper storytelling, his return is being hailed as a pivotal moment for Ghanaian hip-hop, one that bridges past grit with future ambition.
