“Te Ota E Mole”, latest banging single by Omo Marani featuring Larruso is about to get a big music video release. Both artistes took over the Streets of Keta when they came through for a music video filming for the song during the Easter week.

Keta, a community that’s mostly quiet even during week days, came to a standstill when Marani and Larruso came through with over 30 motorbikes while filming through the principal streets of the town. Many onlookers, traders and even school children came out to watch as they sang along through the filming process.

Omo Marani, who is an Ewe Youth from #Keta also has his roots in the #Yoruba land from Ibadan, Nigeria. His fine blend of both languages blends seamlessly to create this masterpiece. Go listen to this jam.

BET is celebrating its 25th anniversary on what many like to call “Culture’s Biggest Night”.

 

Kevin Hart will return as the host of the BET Awards 2025.

 

Airing live on BET on the East Coast (and tape-delayed on the West Coast) on Monday, June 9, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, the show will again be held at the Peacock Theatre at L.A. Live in Los Angeles.

It will be Hart’s second time hosting the show. He previously hosted in 2011. And it’s the 25th anniversary of what BET likes to call “Culture’s Biggest Night”.

 

“I love a celebration!” Hart said in a statement. “I’m truly honoured to host the 25th BET Awards and celebrate the culture’s biggest night. This year marks the 25th anniversary, and my partners at Hartbeat, BET, and JCE are pulling out all the stops to make it a night to remember. It’s a black-tie affair, and you’re all invited. Tune in live on June 9th, only on BET.”

 

“Kevin Hart is a powerhouse of an entertainer,” said Connie Orlando, EVP, specials, music programming & music strategy at BET.

 

“His impact spans comedy, film, television, and beyond. As we celebrate 25 years of the BET Awards, we couldn’t think of a more dynamic host to lead this historic night. Kevin’s unmatched charisma, comedic brilliance, and deep-rooted connection to our culture make him the perfect choice to commemorate this milestone event.”

 

The BET Experience 2025 (BETX) returns June 5–8 in Los Angeles with four days of immersive fan events, leading up to the BET Awards on June 9.

Apostle Eric Deh has released his highly anticipated first single for 2025, titled “Yesu Din”, which translates to “Jesus’ Name” in English. This powerful song is a celebration of the significance of Jesus’ name, emphasizing its ability to bring salvation and healing to God’s children.

As a worship leader, Apostle Eric Deh’s goal with “Yesu Din” is to inspire listeners to reflect on the transformative power of Jesus’ name. The song is a perfect fit for the Easter season, serving as a reminder of the love and redemption that Jesus brings.

With its inspiring message and uplifting melody, “Yesu Din” is sure to bless many and become a staple in worship sessions beyond Easter. The song’s release marks an exciting new chapter in Apostle Eric Deh’s music career, and fans are eagerly anticipating more music from this talented artiste.

“Yesu Din” is now available to stream and download, inviting listeners to experience the joy, healing, and salvation that comes from calling on the name of Jesus.

 

Rising Ghanaian-French singer-songwriter Tee Kae returns with her first release of the year, a
deeply emotive new single titled “Sour Lips.” Blending the intimacy of confession with the power
of sultry Afro-R&B and Alté-infused soundscapes, the track marks a bold step forward in her
artistic evolution.
“Sour Lips” is a raw, poignant reflection on heartbreak, betrayal, and the quiet ache of suspicion.
Sung in both English and French, the track explores the unraveling of trust in a relationship
shadowed by secrecy—furtive phone calls, unanswered questions, and the emotional weight of
silence. At its heart, the song is a plea for honesty, born from Tee Kae’s own experiences of
love, loss, and longing.
Backed by a smooth, rhythmic R&B-driven production, “Sour Lips” clocks in at just over two
minutes—but its impact lingers far longer. Tee Kae’s warm, ethereal vocals glide over the
instrumental with effortless grace, delivering each line with unfiltered vulnerability and control.
It’s a soul-stirring performance that cements her reputation as a standout voice in the alternative
R&B space.

Having discovered her passion for music early on—leading her church music group and drawing
inspiration from icons like Alicia Keys and H.E.R—Tee Kae has been quietly carving her own
space in the global music scene. With a sound that fuses Afro-R&B, Soul, Indie, Trap, and Alté,
she weaves together her diverse influences and multilingual roots, effortlessly blending French
and native African languages.

Tee Kae’s journey began with captivating acoustic covers that showcased her raw vocal talent
and emotional range. Since the release of her debut single “Trouble” in 2023 under her
independent imprint BLUWEIV, she has continued to evolve, now boasting six singles in her
growing catalog.

 

Following a transformative period of introspection and creative rebirth, “Sour
Lips” arrives as her most personal and powerful release to date.

https://open.spotify.com/track/3E2Yv6QSveM9HVw7G3xRVu

 

As Tee Kae opens the door to her 2025 era, “Sour Lips” not only signals her return—but also
her rise. With each release, she’s proving that vulnerability is her strength and music is her truth.

The track is now available on all major streaming platforms here.

Ghana’s dancehall megastar Shatta Wale has officially endorsed fast-rising artist April Delight following her explosive TikTok performance of her new single “Supremacy.” The emerging songstress has quickly gained attention for her fierce delivery and stage command, drawing direct comparisons to Shatta Wale himself.

The buzz began when April Delight posted a video of herself performing “Supremacy,” showcasing her dynamic energy and lyrical prowess. The clip quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comments section, dubbing her the “female version of Shatta Wale” and tagging the dancehall king.

The moment took a major turn when Shatta Wale responded to the post, leaving fire emojis () in the comments—a clear sign of his approval. Known for his selective endorsements, Shatta’s acknowledgment has instantly boosted April Delight’s credibility in Ghana’s competitive music industry.

April’s “Supremacy” carries the same bold, unapologetic energy that defines Shatta Wale’s music, making the comparison inevitable. Industry observers now speculate whether this co-sign could lead to future collaborations or mentorship from the dancehall icon.

With “Supremacy” gaining momentum across streaming platforms and social media, April Delight is positioning herself as a formidable new voice in Ghanaian dancehall. Shatta Wale’s endorsement may well be the catalyst that propels her into the mainstream spotlight.

Jerry Kwodwo Nuvi, a name echoing through the corridors of gospel music, has spent years crafting melodies behind the scenes. Born and raised in the vibrant coastal city of Takoradi, Ghana, Jerry’s roots are deep in rhythm and soul. From a young age, his voice was his gift, and music his calling.

Starting out as a humble backing vocalist in church choirs and local bands, Jerry’s ear for harmony and unmatched discipline soon caught the attention of top gospel acts. His journey took a monumental turn when he joined Selina Boateng Music, not only as a vocalist but rising through dedication to become the production manager. With Selina Boateng, one of Ghana’s gospel powerhouses, Jerry became a vital force behind some of the most soul-stirring performances and albums to bless African gospel.

Over the years, Jerry traveled across the African continent—Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, and more—lending his voice and managing performances that touched hearts and stirred worship. His presence on stage, though often in the background, carried a power that audiences felt deeply.

Now, in 2025, a new chapter is unfolding for Jerry. He has been officially contracted to join the London Encounter Concert slated for 27th July 2025, a major gospel event bringing together voices from all corners of the globe. This opportunity is more than just another concert; it’s a recognition of years of faith, consistency, and excellence.

For Jerry, this isn’t just about singing—it’s about ministry, impact, and representing Ghana and Africa on a global stage. As he prepares to take on London, those who know his story smile with pride. From Takoradi to the world, Jerry Kwodwo Nuvi’s harmony is just beginning to echo in even greater places.
