AlorG was 19 when Down I'm A Rebel came out in 2024, and the EP did not behave like a debut. Eight tracks, no filler, mostly about betrayal and the specific tiredness of keeping your head up in an economy that keeps moving the goalposts.

Born Alodia Kusi-Gyamfi in 2005, he grew up on the west side of Ghana with family roots split between Sekondi and Takoradi. He records out of Accra's Pioneer 11 Studios with producers 2shuus and Sosawavegod. The sound is guitar-led and melodic on the surface. The writing is where it stops being comfortable.

The one that travelled

Free My Mind did the thing every young artist hopes for and almost nobody plans for: it left the country on its own. NSG, the UK Afro-fusion group, cut an official remix. Singles followed, All Of A Sudden, Save Me, Tomorrow, and then Sarkodie put him on Put It On God, which is the kind of look that changes who returns your calls.

Why he keeps talking about this

Ghanaian music still expects young men to perform invincibility. AlorG writes about depression, failure and loneliness in plain language, on record, over beats built for the club. It is the actual subject of the EP, not a marketing angle.

He has framed the whole project this way. Rebellion, in his telling, isn't about causing trouble. It's about refusing to pretend you're fine when you're hurting. The listener he has in mind is a kid dealing with loneliness who needs to hear that he isn't losing his mind.
