Ghana's Paul Amankwah, popularly known as Kweku Smoke, who jumped on the hip-hop scene with a Sarkodie cosign in 2019, has fast become one of the country's most exciting rappers.
He earned three nominations at the just-ended Telecel Ghana Music Awards thanks to the two albums he released on the same day last year.
The rapper has announced his new album, which will follow his March release, Kweku Jesus.

Kweku Smoke's new album, Born in Hell, slated for September 4th, his birthday, will be the rapper's fourth LP in less than twelve months.
The ten-track album has no features. However, Kweku Smoke lists seasoned singers Kwabena, Cina Soul and Trudy in the album credits, acknowledging their vocal contributions.
The album's cover art features a young boy looking towards a furnace with the Holy Book in his hands, typifying Kweku Smoke's title.
Jaiden, a Ghanaian graphic designer who has designed all four of Kweku Smoke's album art covers, said Born In Hell's imagery was a reflection of the destruction the rapper comes from and how he only survives on hope.

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, music executive Bra Bryte hailed Kweku Smoke after his album announcement, saying,
"He's bringing marginalised voices and stories to the fore. That has made him more compelling over the years, especially considering how he has both the slums and elitist community as his base. I think he has found a seat at the table. Bringing Kwabena Kwabena and Cina Soul on shows he is not taking for granted the quality and value of his projects, and it's going to heighten the album's impact."
