In the video, Jay Bahd relishes Asakaa's success as his colleagues Okenneth and Reggie arrive to pick him up for a function.
The two rappers came in their high-end machines: Okenneth in a RAM truck and Reggie in a sleek SUV coupe.
Fans couldn't hide their admiration for the young musicians who continue to shape their success stories after their niche genre went mainstream.
Last year, the Recording Academy acknowledged Asakaa as a unique Ghanaian style of British grime as part of its newly founded Best African Performance category.
The genre's potential remains endless, with songs like Lonely Road off O'kenneth and Xlimkid's Pain In Glory EP attracting top global stars, including Lil Durk.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh, who was one of Asakaa's early trumpeters, said
It’s been a great run for Asakaa, and definitely, the genre has paid off. They are doing great on the DSPs and had a successful tour last year, which I hope they replicate this year at bigger venues. The Asakaa genre has always been diverse, so the future is immense. A perfect case study of how the sound keeps evolving is Beeztrap KOTM. It shows that the sound has moved from just trap music to adding elements of Hip-Hop.
