O'Kenneth and Reggie are two burgeoning figures in Ghana's thriving hip-hop scene, both hailing from Kumasi, the heart of the Ashanti Region and often considered the cultural epicenter of the country. They are part of a collective known as Asakaa, which is responsible for pioneering the drill music movement within Ghana. This subgenre, often termed “Kumerica” in reference to their hometown, blends the gritty storytelling and hard-hitting beats of drill music with the unique linguistic flavors and cultural elements of Ghanaian music.
Their collaborative projects have been pivotal in not only cultivating a local but also an international audience for the Asakaa drill sound. "Straight Outta Kumerica," released in 2020, served as a landmark project that cemented their position in the scene, garnering substantial attention. It was followed by individual tracks like "Believe" and "Abasakoom," which showcase their adeptness at crafting catchy hooks and authentic lyricism. "Ya Parke," another entrancing delivery, continues to expand their reach. With each release, O'Kenneth and Reggie are actively shaping the narrative of Ghanaian music while contributing to the global spread of the drill genre.
