Kwesi Arthur and King Promise Unite on New Anthem “Real Thing”

Ghana’s leading artists Kwesi Arthur and King Promise have teamed up for the new track “Real Thing,” a forceful single that fuses the rhythmic energy of amapiano with the melodic nuances of highlife, all set against lush, synth‑heavy production.

Produced by the up‑and‑coming producer Hylander, “Real Thing” highlights the vibrant chemistry of two of West Africa’s most powerful voices. King Promise begins with a silky pre‑hook and thoughtful verse, establishing the mood with honesty and purpose. Kwesi Arthur then steps in with a compelling chorus, grounding the track with his trademark intensity and heartfelt emotion.

The track’s production is a tale of perseverance. A blackout interrupted a planned session at Small World Records in Accra. Determined not to stall, the crew moved to 5 Star’s home studio, only to encounter local noise complaints. Once electricity was restored and a space became available, they wrapped the song at Killbeatz’s studio—an experience that mirrors the song’s core themes of resilience, loyalty, and camaraderie.

More than a partnership, “Real Thing” serves as a cultural proclamation. It encapsulates the heartbeat of contemporary Ghanaian music while paying homage to its foundational roots. With synth layers, amapiano percussion, and sincere expression, the song showcases the voice of a fresh generation rooted in West African brilliance.

The single is now released across all streaming services, and it comes with a lively music video that celebrates the community, spirit, and determination behind the track.

Listen to “Real Thing” today and experience the evolution of West African music.
