When the Kumerica drill wave broke in 2020, the standard prediction was that it would burn out fast. BeeztrapKOTM is one of the reasons it didn't, mostly because he refused to treat it as a single sound. Drill bass slides on one side, Akan highlife and gospel street melody on the other, and a career built in the space between them.

Born Edwin Eshun, raised in Kumasi with family roots in Cape Coast, he started recording in 2018. As the Asakaa collective went global, he found the lane nobody else was working: verses with genuine tenderness in them, folklore in the phrasing.

From Fly Girl to the awards stage

Fly Girl and Obaa Hemaa with Skyface SDW showed what he does better than most of his peers, which is romantic street storytelling where the melody carries as much weight as the bars. The Fly Girl remix with Gyakie pushed him into nationwide rotation. The 2023 EP Different Type of Gangster then proved the range went past one tempo.

Power arrived in August 2025, his debut album, with Sarkodie on it. Later that year the Telecel Ghana Music Awards gave him Best New Artiste, adding to the Next Rated Act win he'd already taken at the 3Music Awards.

Who he's actually making records for

Beeztrap has been clear that he doesn't want to be a late-night youth club artist only. His target is the whole Ghanaian household, which is a harder brief than it sounds: highlife listeners in their sixties and drill fans in their teens, in the same room, on the same song.

His framing is that Asakaa gave the generation its voice while highlife is its soul, and that a kid from the trenches of Kumasi can honour where he came from and still end up playing stadiums.
