The coup d’etat has began, Volta is taking over GH music - Edem

You would have to be on another planet perhaps Jupiter to not have heard of Edem. You would have to be blind to have never seen him and you definitely have to be either lame or old as hell to have never heard “Keva”. The Volta region natives are taking over the country.

Edem is steadily making his way to the top of the rap scene in Ghana, and he is about to let the world know what the Ewes too are about.


Rumours tricked in that Hammer was in the music laboratory for long and that he was cooking up something big. And then Ghana Music.com premiered the video of his single of “Keva” and the rest is internet history as he has erupted without warning.


It’s hard for any independent artist to touch him now with only a single that he received.


After helping everyone from Obrafour to Kwaw Kese settle on people’s lips, Hammer of the Last 2 is bored and needs new challenges and wants to start from scratch.


Hammer hopes to invade and flood the music market with videos of the album hopefully this month.

Hammer’s focal point with Edem is to make a bigger history than what he did with Obrafour, Tinny and Kwaw Kese as he has sweated profusely for 2 years on “The Volta Regime”.


Edem’s Ewe vocal style relies heavily on his accent being distinctive and unique in the rap game as he is heavily backed by Hammer who produced the whole hiphop album and it is Hammer infectious beats that make the album come alive.


Hammer doesn’t mess with artists that are just artists; he messes with superstars and has been able to turn Edem into a hiphop rapper and singer.


Hammer’s music friends King Ayisoba, Sarkodie, Ruth, Samini and last 2 soldiers Tinny, Kwaw Kese and Obrafour and Ayisoba voices were heard on the 19 track album.
