BLACK STARS

The idea for "Black Stars" was born out of my love for Ghana and its rich heritage. The Black Star on Ghana's flag represents freedom, hope, and leadership—a symbol of strength that resonated with me deeply. With this song, I wanted to honor that symbol while speaking to everyone across Africa and the diaspora who has ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or underestimated. 

When I wrote this track, I had one goal: to make something that feels like home, no matter where you’re from. Whether you’re from Accra, Lagos, New York, or London, this is for the hustlers, the dreamers, and the grinders—the ones who keep going no matter what life throws at them.

The hook says it all:
"It be the boys that they hate on,
‘Cuz all we do is ball—ball like we Lebron.
My name ring bells from the world to Legon,
Black Stars still shine in the daytime."

This isn’t just a flex—it’s a message to the world. Whether you’re grinding in Ghana or making moves abroad,

The Black Star has always been a symbol of strength, freedom, and leadership. It’s the gateway, a beacon for the world—and Ghana, the home of the Black Stars, represents this spirit. When I sat down to write this song, it felt only right to create something that connects that symbol to the people of the world.

This track isn’t just for Ghanaians, though. It’s a reminder to anyone that your light is yours, and no one—not a single soul—can dim it.

To make this track even bigger, I brought in Medikal, whose energy and lyrics take "Black Stars" to the next level.

"Every day make money money,
Clowns they act more dummy.
They wan make I show them true colors,
Do I look like a painter?"

Medikal’s verse adds that swagger and grit, speaking for the ones who turn every doubter into motivation. Together, we wanted to create a song that’s not just about shining—but about earning your shine.

When it came time to shoot the visuals for "Black Stars," there was only one place that made sense—Independence Square in Accra, Ghana. Known as the Black Star Square, it’s a powerful symbol of Ghana’s freedom and leadership, a place that speaks to the strength and pride of a nation that leads the way for Africa and the world

For me, "Black Stars" is about more than music. It’s about recognizing Ghana as the gateway to Africa, a symbol of pride and possibility. But it’s also about spreading that energy to the rest of the world. We are all connected, and we all carry a light inside us that can’t be dimmed.

Whether you’re building, dreaming, or simply surviving, this song is a reminder: You are a Black Star.
