Who said lightning doesn’t strike twice? Well, they haven’t heard Amerado’s latest track, Ankonam.
Originally a smooth, solo ride showcasing Amerado’s surprising shift from rap to singing, the remix just revved up a whole new engine – courtesy of Samini, the ‘African Dancehall King’ himself!
Let’s get this straight: When Amerado first teased Ankonam on social media, people went wild. Not because Amerado was flexing his vocal cords, but because one name kept echoing through the comments – Samini! It’s like the whole internet was saying, “Amerado, do your thing, but get Samini on this, pronto!” And as if he had no choice (seriously, does anyone say no to Samini?), Amerado obliged. Now the remix is here, and it’s exactly what we hoped for.
For those who don’t know, Ankonam is a soulful reggae anthem, and Samini’s rich, reggae-influenced vocals? It’s like topping your favorite ice cream with hot fudge, totally extra, but absolutely perfect. Samini’s entry on the remix feels like he owns the track, turning it into his natural musical habitat. Amerado, ever the gracious host, steps back just enough to let the legend shine, but not without leaving his own imprint. It’s a blend of generational talent, proving once again why Samini remains a timeless figure in Ghanaian music, and Amerado, well, he’s no slouch in his newfound vocal lane either!
And let’s not forget Amerado’s genius when it comes to promotions. Expect him to pull out all the stops with hilarious social media challenges, probably dragging Samini along for the fun. You know, the kind of stuff that has fans filming their best ‘Ankonam’ moments and trying to out-sing Samini (good luck with that!).
So, here’s to more Ankonam challenges, more social media buzz, and fingers crossed, more surprise collaborations that make us question whether Amerado is a rapper, a singer, or a wizard at both.
Ankonam is available on all music platforms
