The high-energy tour made unforgettable stops at the University of Ghana’s Pent Hall and Evandy Hall, and Accra Technical University (ATU) delivering music, culture, and pure excitement to students who showed up in their numbers.

DJ Millzy, who also serves as Kwesi Arthur’s official DJ, has built a reputation for knowing how to read a crowd and deliver unforgettable moments whetherhe’s playing to thousands abroad or just keeping things alive right here at home in Ghana.

“Campus energy is raw and real,” Millzy said. “This is the future of music and culture. Pine & Jinja, with Smirnoff Guarana, is just tapping into that pulse.”
