It was a usual busy Monday when the PunchLine King, Ko-Jo Cue dropped his
latest mixtape “The Shining”. Both old and new fans of the latest BBnZ signee
had been impatiently waiting on this tape. From his first ever project,
“NATHAN”, Linford “Ko-Jo Cue” Amankwaa has been keeping fans in suspense of The
Shining. Now that it’s finally here I take the stage to delve into the music,
song after song.

As the title may sound, most people, including me thought
Ko-Jo would’ve played rough by compiling commercial songs to widen his fan base
in enabling him to blow up easily. Conversely, he held on to his words on
“Retrospect”(a song that he released in 2010 as part of his early projects) by
giving us a classic hip hop project full of storytelling, relatable concepts,
motivation, inspiration, and as you’d expect great metaphors and punchlines.
The mixtape has 15 classic songs on it, so not to beat about the bush so the
game doesn’t escape let’s head straight to the individual tracks.
