Ghanaian heavyweights Kwesi Arthur and King Promise have joined forces on “Real Thing”, a powerful new single blending the rhythmic flair of amapiano with the melodic undertones of highlife, wrapped in rich, synth-driven production.
Crafted by fast-rising producer Hylander, “Real Thing” showcases the dynamic synergy between two of West Africa’s most influential voices. King Promise opens with a smooth pre-hook and reflective verse, setting the tone with vulnerability and intent. Kwesi Arthur delivers a gripping chorus, anchoring the record with his signature grit and emotional depth.
The song’s creation is a story of persistence. A scheduled session at Small World Records in Accra was halted by a power outage. Refusing to lose momentum, the team regrouped at 5 Star’s home studio, only to face neighborhood noise complaints. When power returned and studio space opened up, they completed the record at Killbeatz’s studio, a process that reflects the very essence of the track: resilience, loyalty, and brotherhood.
“Real Thing” isn’t just a collaboration, it’s a cultural statement. It captures the pulse of modern Ghanaian music while honoring the roots that raised it.
Now available on all streaming platforms, the single is accompanied by a vibrant music video celebrating the community, spirit, and drive behind the song.
