Ghanaian rapper Kweku Smoke has taken home the award for Best Hip Hop Song at the 26th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) with his standout track, “Holy Ghost.” The win marks a major milestone in the young artist’s career and reinforces his place among Ghana’s elite hip hop talents.
The category featured tough competition, with nominations from some of the biggest names in the industry, including Black Sherif (“Kilos Milos”), Sarkodie featuring Beeztrap KOTM (“Amen”), and Joey B (“Princess”). Despite the strong field, “Holy Ghost” rose to the top, earning praise for its lyrical depth, distinct flow, and street-rooted authenticity.
Kweku Smoke’s triumph follows a powerful endorsement from rap heavyweight Sarkodie, who earlier declared him the “Best Rapper for 2025” during a live performance in December 2024. That moment sparked conversations across social media and built momentum behind the artist heading into the awards season.
This TGMA win not only confirms Kweku Smoke’s growing impact in the music scene but also signals a new wave in Ghanaian hip hop, where fresh voices are being recognized for their innovation and originality.
With “Holy Ghost” now crowned Best Hip Hop Song, fans and critics alike are eagerly watching what comes next for the rising star.
