According to him, G.I.N.A is the acronym for ‘God Is Never Asleep’.
The album contains a number of tracks, including ‘Nyame Dada’, ‘No Stress’, ‘Grace’, ‘Got You’, ‘Pay Me’, ‘666’, ‘Back To Sender’, ‘Black Change’, ‘You Are The One’, and ‘Ha Ha Ha’.
‘Back To Sender’ and ‘Grace’, two album tracks that were just published, have each received over 10 million streams across all digital streaming sites.
The album comprises renowned and influential musicians from Ghana and beyond, including as S1mba (UK), Efya (Ghana), Fameye (Ghana), Laioung (Italy), Lasmid (Ghana), Eno Barony (Ghana), Gidochi (Ghana), and Epixode (Ghana).
The album, according to Amerado, has seen the introduction of a new genre called Afrorap.
“While we acknowledge that Afropop has set the pace, I am confident that the launch of the African rap subgenre known as Afrorap can perform enormously well on the international market. Afrorap, like Afrobeats and Afrodance, is simply rap combined with Afro.”
