Hammer of The Last Two Taps Sarkodie, E.L & Benjies For “The Fire”

Legendary Ghanaian record producer Hammer of The Last Two (Edward Nana Poku Osei), the visionary architect behind Ghana’s hiplife and hip-hop golden era, has released a blazing new single titled “The Fire.”

The track, now available on all major streaming platforms, arrives as the latest offering from his ongoing Upper Echelons project — a body of work that continues to spotlight elite artistry and lyrical excellence.

“The Fire” unites two of Ghana’s most decorated rap heavyweights, Sarkodie and E.L, in a rare collaboration that instantly transports fans back to the golden era of Ghanaian hip-hop. The record is further energized by UK-based rising talent Benjies, whose distinctive flow and fresh perspective bridge the gap between classic Ghanaian grit and the contemporary diaspora wave.

Hammer, renowned for shaping the careers of icons such as Obrafour, Tinny, Kwaw Kese, and even Sarkodie himself, once again demonstrates why he remains one of the most influential producers in Ghana’s music history. On “The Fire,” he delivers elite production — hard-hitting drums, commanding instrumentation, and an anthemic soundscape that sets the perfect stage for lyrical warfare.

Early reactions describe the track as a masterclass in pure hip-hop craftsmanship — heavyweight lyricists trading bars over a blazing instrumental that captures both nostalgic authenticity and modern global intensity.

With “The Fire,” Hammer of The Last Two reinforces his enduring legacy while proving that true architects of sound never lose their touch.
