Ghanaian rapper Medikal has added another award to his growing list of achievements in 2026 after winning Collaboration of the Year at the 2026 Ghana Music Awards Europe (GMAEU) in Germany.
Medikal was honoured for his hit song “Shoulder,” a collaboration with Shatta Wale and Beeztrap KOTM. The award was presented at the Ghana Music Awards Europe ceremony held in Düsseldorf, Germany, on September 12, 2026.
The recognition further highlights the impact of “Shoulder,” which has already enjoyed major success at home.
At the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards, the song won Collaboration of the Year, Most Popular Song of the Year and Best Hiplife Song, while Medikal also took home the Best Hiplife/Hip-Hop Artiste award.
With his latest GMAEU victory, Medikal’s 2026 award tally has now reached six, according to the tally provided.
From “Medikal” to one of Ghana’s recognised rap acts
His breakthrough period saw him become closely associated with the AMG movement, while songs such as “Omo Ada” helped establish him as one of the prominent voices in Ghanaian hip-hop and hiplife.
His career has since produced projects including Disturbation, The Plug EP, Island, The Truth and Planning and Plotting.
The success of “Shoulder” has become one of the defining chapters of Medikal’s 2025–2026 run. The song brings together three different generations and styles within Ghana’s rap and popular music space, with Shatta Wale and Beeztrap KOTM joining Medikal on the record.
The song’s continued recognition across award platforms has strengthened its place among Medikal’s notable works, with the latest honour coming from the Ghanaian music community in Europe.
For Medikal, the latest GMAEU award adds another international chapter to a career that has evolved from underground rap beginnings into one of Ghana’s most recognisable hip-hop and hiplife careers.
