Grugbox

Eight standout Ghanaian albums and projects released in 2026 and reviewed on Grugbox, ranked by score, spanning Kumasi drill, highlife, street-pop and live spiritual soul.

Accra and Kumasi take almost all the attention. Gonaboy came out of Sissala East and built a following without relocating his identity to get it.

Moliy became the first Ghanaian artist to perform at the BET Awards main ceremony, where she ran through 'Shake It to the Max (FLY)' at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater. The set brought Ghanaian music to millions.

Amaarae made her Coachella debut on the Gobi Tent stage, where she spotlighted Ghanaian artists from Eazzy and Joey B to La Même Gang and the Asakaa Boys. She also teased her forthcoming album 'Black Star'.
