Kwartengg did not pick between an album and an EP. He released both. The Kumasi singer and rapper put out the Kwartengg Hello album on Wednesday 11 November, eight songs with M.anifest, Ko-Jo Cue, Beeztrap KOTM and the Nigerian rap duo Show Dem Camp, and on the same day dropped Akatafour Dwom III, the third instalment of his EP series.
It is the biggest release yet from an artist who first reached a wider audience in May, when M.anifest told his followers to “be early on the train” and the pair released “Out The Mud”. That song is now on Hello, alongside September’s “Charging” with Beeztrap KOTM.
Kwartengg’s Hello album: Legend, Be. and a Nigerian remix
As with “Out The Mud”, he made the main video himself. Kwartengg directed, edited and colour graded the video for “Legend”, with Naa Norlley again sharing creative direction. The song was produced by Zmokes and MJaymadeit, who are behind most of the new material.
The rapper Ko-Jo Cue joins him on “Be.”, produced by Stitchezondis1.
The surprise is a remix of “Power”, his December 2025 single, which now carries a verse from Show Dem Camp, the Lagos duo of Ghost and Tec. Ssnowbeatz, who has worked with Kwartengg since his first Akatafour Dwom EP, produced it.
“What If” and “Gratitude” close the album, and BraaBenk features on the short “Intro”.

The EP is a separate five-song set, with Kwaku DMC on “YƐɛYƐ;”, Sad Ed on “De Other Day” and Nii Lewis on “Anthem II”, which follows “Anthem” from Akatafour Dwom II.
Kwartengg has said he would rather call his music soul than hip-hop, and that he sees no need to leave Kumasi to be heard. If you are new to him, start with our guide: Who is Kwartengg?
