After the greatest anticipation of a single in Ghana’s music scene so far in 2015, “New Guy” drops on Wednesday, June 10 via Deezer (A music streaming app developed by Tigo Music), exclusively. This song was preluded by a saga between Ace Hood & Sarkodie, as to who paid or initially contacted the other for a feature. That actually built the hype weeks before the release of the song. Now, let’s get deeper into the music.

I grind, stand up and sun down

Wake up knowing that people expect me to lead ‘em to a win
