From the opening words of “Ghost<\/strong>,” you know this is an X.O Senavoe<\/strong><\/a> you’ve never heard before…<\/p>\n

\n

“Drowning all my sorrows in this vodka, having a ball, wondering when you\u2019ll grow one,<\/em>
\nI been hearing that you f****rs wanna show out, oh boy, click click on my shot gun.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you think that was an incredible start, you should wait ’til the end; “Ghost<\/strong>” is everything you wanted X.O<\/a><\/strong> to be \u2013 fearless, bravado-spilling, multi-bar-lacing, and all with effortless delivery, as he lays claim to being one of the greatest African<\/em> rappers, ever.<\/p>\n

Among many things, “Ghost<\/strong>” is X.O Senavoe<\/strong><\/a>‘s indictment of the idea that Africans<\/em> need to Rap<\/em> in a particular way, or language or tongue, to be considered among the ‘greatest<\/em>‘; his ability to do so seamlessly is matched by the irony he points out in his lyrics…<\/p>\n

\n

Sorry, I forgot, I\u2019m from Africa right, so I gotta spit something we relate to, like how, if I Rap in English, even if, I\u2019m the greatest ever \u2013 they no go rate you.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Produced by Gafacci<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, “Ghost<\/strong>” is laced on a hard-hitting symphony of bass, 808s, synths, and high-hats which provide the perfect canvass for X.O<\/strong><\/a>‘s re-emergence; the hook, which is in Twi<\/em> and translates to ‘one who\u2019s ghost refuses to agree that you\u2019re dead<\/em>,’ is simply eery, and befits the song title, but the ante is upped when X.O<\/strong><\/a>, who represented Nigeria<\/em> in the BET<\/em><\/strong> cypher, flexes his linguistic muscle rapping in Fante<\/em>, and both Asante<\/em> and Akuapem Twi<\/em> for the 1<\/strong>st time ever and throughout it all, El Presidente<\/em><\/strong> is pulling no punches with this one – No more Mister Nice Guy<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After “Oluwadele<\/a><\/em><\/strong>” featuring Efya<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, and Coptic<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s “Real Niggaz<\/em><\/strong>” along with Sarkodie<\/em><\/strong><\/a> last year, Mr. Senavoe<\/strong><\/a> went ghost on us, reportedly to dabble in other interests like Law<\/em><\/strong>; but if this is, as he says, just the start to a cascade of new music coming our way, then the absence was well worth the wait.<\/p>\n

\n

“I got a Barretta for all Barrettis to my Empire, Loaded Luxes for these Calicoes,<\/em>
\nAll first verse, but you ‘gon get this work’ in a landslide, when I pull up like your pantyhose. Smack!”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
