The battle for supremacy in Ghana’s music industry has taken a thrilling turn as the “Album/EP of the Year” category at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards heats up—with more than just prestige on the line.
This year, the ultimate winner will not only lift one of the night’s biggest trophies but will also walk away with a massive GHS 100,000 cash prize courtesy of Guinness Ghana. The package gets even sweeter: a fully sponsored album listening session and funding support for a high-quality music video. It’s a reward designed to elevate the winner’s brand beyond the awards stage and into the global spotlight.
The nominees are a powerful mix of talent and influence. Black Sherif stands tall with Iron Boy, a project praised for its emotional depth and street connection. Stonebwoy brings global energy with Torcher, reinforcing his status as an international force. Gyakie charms listeners with the smooth and soulful After Midnight, while Medikal keeps the streets alive with Disturbation 2.
Not to be counted out, Wendy Shay makes a bold statement with Ready, and Kweku Smoke adds intensity with Walk With Me—each project representing a unique sound shaping Ghana’s music culture.
With such a competitive lineup, predicting a winner is no easy task. Industry analysts are split, fans are campaigning hard, and social media debates are heating up daily. Will it be raw storytelling, global appeal, smooth melodies, or street dominance that carries the day?
One thing is certain: whoever wins “Album/EP of the Year” will not just be crowned the best—they will also receive a major financial and promotional boost that could define the next phase of their career.
As the countdown to awards night continues, all eyes remain fixed on the stage. Ghana is waiting to see who will claim the crown—and the GHS 100,000 prize.
