Ghanaian music powerhouses Kwesi Arthur and King Promise have teamed up on “Real Thing”, a striking new single that blends the rhythmic pulse of amapiano with the melodic richness of highlife, wrapped in lush, synth-driven production.
Produced by fast-rising talent Hylander, the track showcases the undeniable chemistry between two of West Africa’s most influential artists. King Promise sets the tone with a smooth pre-hook and a reflective verse steeped in vulnerability and intent, before Kwesi Arthur delivers a gripping chorus marked by his trademark grit and emotional resonance.
The journey behind “Real Thing” is a testament to resilience. A planned recording session at Small World Records in Accra was cut short by a power outage. Refusing to lose creative momentum, the team relocated to 5 Star’s home studio, only to face neighborhood noise complaints. Once power was restored and studio space freed up, they completed the record at Killbeatz’s studio—an odyssey mirroring the track’s core themes of loyalty, perseverance, and brotherhood.
More than a collaboration, “Real Thing” is a cultural statement—capturing the heartbeat of modern Ghanaian music while honoring the roots that shaped it. Through layered synth textures, amapiano rhythms, and heartfelt performances, the song reflects a new generation of West African excellence.
Available now on all streaming platforms, “Real Thing” arrives with a vibrant music video that celebrates the community, spirit, and determination driving the project.
