On his social media platforms including YouTube, he announced the album released through a video. He said;
“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to rap, I fell in love with it as a youth. Growing up in Tema gave me a lot to talk about, I always had an idea of the kind of career that I wanted.
So I had to stay true to myself, my second album “Rapperholic” is already 10 years and I’m on my 8th Studio album, Still doing it my way.
It takes a lot to stay motivated but you can’t be in a rush to skip the process because you will still have to deal with everything that comes with it”.
He further revealed the name of the new album in the video.
“This new project is called “JAMZ”, basically how I feel. This collection of songs is like your favourite playlist, now let’s have fun”, he said.
JAMZ is going to be his first project in 2022.
