“EMIKO” IS HERE

WORDS BY KOFI OWUSU

KJ Spio, the London-based visionary and cultural connector, known for his executive flair and DJ Khaled-like firepower, taps into the heart of the continent by joining forces with Nigerian powerhouse Oxlade for his first single of the year — “EMIKO”.

Fresh from global collaborations with Gyakie, Konshens, Sarkodie, Libianca and more, “EMIKO” is not just a track, it’s a statement. Produced by the legendary BlaiseBeatz (credits: WizKid, Davido, Chris Brown), the song carries an unshakable message: faith, possibility, and resilience in the face of doubt.

The upcoming video, filmed at Ghana’s Cape Coast Castle, bridges past and present — a nod to ancestral pain transformed into powerful art. As Spio and Oxlade sit atop the castle declaring, “Now look at us, two kings out here making beautiful art,” we’re reminded that music is resistance. Music is healing.

Styled by IMPARI’s ONT_KOP collection, Ghanaian women are front and centre — divine, strong, and beautifully adorned — representing the spirit of Mother Earth herself.
