Kwesi Amewuga’s new single has a four-word description on YouTube: “KWESI AMEWUGA IS RAP”. “Monarchy” came out on 23 October 2026 with a visualiser on his channel the same day, and it is exactly what that line promises, a 2-minute-30 rap record filed under Rap on Apple Music and released through Fuse Distro.

Kwesi Amewuga “Monarchy”: the release
The visualiser had close to 9,000 views in its first fortnight, and reaction channels picked it up: one “raw rap reaction” video went up on 28 October. A title like “Monarchy” is a statement of rank, and the one-line description says the rest.
“Monarchy” follows “Aso)den”, whose official video in June 2026 passed 115,000 views.
Who Kwesi Amewuga is
Ghanamusic.com’s profile says Kwesi Amewuga is originally from Sefwi Wiawso in the Western North Region, with Ewe heritage through his father from the Volta Region, and that he went to St. Mary’s Seminary Senior High School in Lolobi. His album Young LandGuard came out in 2023 with singles such as “Let It Go” and “Kwesi Bodamfoo”.
He won the Unsung Artiste category at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards, which earned him a performance slot at the ceremony in Accra. He also appears on Keeny Ice’s Ice Cold EP (2025), alongside Lyrical Joe.
The Volta rap moment
Kwesi Amewuga is part of a cluster of rappers with Volta roots getting more attention in 2026. Keeny Ice from Aflao had “3RD EYE” with Strongman in October, and Lyrical Joe, from Mafikumasi in the Volta Region, took “Warrior Sound” to Kenya with Khaligraph Jones. “Monarchy” adds another name to that story.
