In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we would like to introduce you to upcoming artist GhanaStar and his brand new single titled “Real Kings” featuring Kofi Jamar.
Rising hip-hop force GhanaStar is making waves once again with his latest single, “Real Kings,” a gritty, empowering anthem that’s already poised to become a staple for hustlers and dreamers everywhere. Teaming up with the electrifying Kofi Jamar, GhanaStar delivers a track that’s as hard-hitting as it is uplifting—a celebration of resilience, hustle, and the undeniable worth of those who rise against the odds.
Set to a raw, driving beat that blends street energy with universal appeal, “Real Kings” isn’t just a song—it’s a statement. From the streets of Accra to cities across the globe, the track resonates with anyone who’s ever had to fight for their place, their voice, and their crown. GhanaStar’s sharp lyricism and unshakable confidence pair seamlessly with Kofi Jamar’s signature dynamic flow, creating a chemistry that commands attention.
“The energy in the studio was effortless,” GhanaStar shares. “We wanted to craft something that not only hits hard but also speaks directly to the people grinding every day, chasing their dreams. ‘Real Kings’ is about knowing your worth, even when the world overlooks you.”
For GhanaStar, the journey to this moment has been anything but ordinary. Born Samuel Kofi-Poku Addoh in the Bronx to Ghanaian parents from Kumasi, GhanaStar stands proudly at the intersection of cultures. His sound is a rich fusion of Afrobeat, hip-hop, R&B, and soul—an evolution that began in the church as a gospel singer and blossomed into a versatile artistry shaped by his Mount Vernon upbringing.
Since his debut in 2022 with the infectious Afrobeat single “Special,” GhanaStar has continued to expand his sonic footprint with tracks like “Feel da Vibez,” “Forgive Me,” “Praya,” and “Fine Girl.” Whether he’s delivering laid-back summer grooves or gritty street narratives, his music always carries the unmistakable stamp of authenticity.
With influences like J. Cole, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne, GhanaStar brings the introspection of the greats while carving out his own lane—one that speaks directly to the underdogs and the ambitious. “Real Kings” is the next bold step in his journey, and with Kofi Jamar in the mix, the message rings even louder: Claim your space. Hold your crown. Real kings move with purpose.
