“A year of excellence” Joe Kole Outshines All in 2024
In the current ghanaian music space, it will be unfair to give all credit to artists without acknowledging the efforts of music producers.
One producer whom we can not turn a blind eye to his recent works is Wodzrah George, widely known as Joe Kole. From the days of Flowking Stone through to the era of King Paluta and Amerado.
The champion music producer, Joe Kole, has proven to be a timeless producer; recently being behind 80% of hit songs in ghana and being a core influence in the rise of kumerican music vibe.
Top artists such as Strongman, King Paluta, Amerado, Sista Afia, Eno Barony, Rap Father .etc are now big names because of his genius production.
There is no doubt he is a legendary producer and needs to be remembered, applauded, and most importantly, awarded in the coming TGMA.
Rap heavyweight; Eno Barony is out with No Manual album, and Joe Kole produced most of the songs on it.
Joe Kole has shown signs of never slowing down, we hope TGMA acknowledges him. To know him more, you can follow him on
