Lawrence Senyo Adiase known in Ghana music as DSL has advised the youth against kowtowing to pressures of society in their endeavours.
He sent this message in his new song “No Gree” released on Thursday, February 22, 2024, preaching a message of resilience.
The new song explores the other side of DSL who is mostly known for his roots reggae vibes.
‘NO Gree’ produced by DJ Vyrusky has some soothing Amapiano log drum which is currently in high demand by partygoers.
Speaking at the release session held at Full Option at East Legon in Accra, DSL said he has realised that people have allowed themselves to be pressured so much by what is happening around them.
This peer pressure he said mostly stems from social media, thereby urging the youth not to allow such things to consume them.
“You see someone driving a car and you ask yourself when am I going to drive a car like this, and you end up losing hope in yourself,” he added.
According to him, all one has to do in times like these is to work hard, and with determination, you can achieve something in future.
DSL also urged everyone to be satisfied with what he or she has been able to achieve at a certain point in life.
The song which comes with a visualizer is available on all digital platforms.
After winning Mentor X, DSL has been steadily growing under the wings of Lynx Entertainment.

Award-winning Ghanaian rapper, Michael Addo popularly known as Sarkodie, has called for a deeper and more sustainable partnership between Ghana’s creative industry and the financial technology sector.
The rapper made the call on Tuesday when he paid a courtesy call on the management of MobileMoney Fintech Limited at the company’s head office in Accra to explore opportunities for collaboration beyond the conventional corporate sponsorship arrangement.
The meeting focused on how the two sectors could work together to promote financial inclusion, digital financial services and opportunities within Ghana’s growing creative economy.
The rapper acknowledged MobileMoney Fintech Ltd’s past support for his annual Rapperholic concert, but emphasised that his broader objective was to establish a long-term partnership that creates sustainable value for both the company and the creative industry.
“I am here today not like the usual business where we come and ask, ‘Can we get sponsorship for our show?’ and that’s it. It goes beyond just coming in and getting support,” Sarkodie said.
He pointed out that artistes and creative professionals maintain long-term visions for their careers including album releases, tours, brand initiatives, and community engagement programmes and argued that corporate partnerships should be structured around shared objectives.
Sarkodie proposed to use his upcoming campus tour as a platform for MobileMoney Fintech Ltd to engage directly with young people, raising awareness about the company’s new MoMo app and its comprehensive suite for financial services.
Welcoming Sarkodie and his team, the Chief Executive Officer of MobileMoney Fintech Ltd, Mr Shaibu Haruna, described the visit as an important step towards strengthening the relationship between the creative and Fintech industries.
Mr Haruna explained that although MobileMoney Fintech Ltd was primarily a technology-driven company, its relationship with the entertainment industry remained strategic because of the enormous reach and influence of both sectors.
Both parties expressed commitment to future engagements to identify concrete areas of cooperation, focusing heavily on expanding financial inclusion, connecting young people to digital financial services, and accelerating the growth of Ghana’s creative economy.
