One of Ghana’s best dancehall genii, Kamelyeon has finally broken out of his shell with maiden Extented Play (EP), dubbed ‘Rainbow’.
An Extended Play is often referred to as EP or mini-album is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single but is usually unqualified as an album.
Speaking to The Spectator during a media listening session held at Oliver Twist Shack at Lartebiokorshie in Accra, Kamelyeon said, chameleon, like rainbow, is full of colours, and for that reason, the EP represents a covenant with his fans that he will never disappoint them.
Kamelyeon added that this EP represented a new phase of his career, and was ready to take his craft to another level to lift the image of Ghana music.
He said that the six-songs EP, was full of stories, and that this accounted for the delay even though he had been in the music circles for long.
ccording to him, the songs gave consolation and encouragement to people going through problems to never give up.
Others, he said, threw light on social media life of people and the need for tolerance among the fan base of musicians, urging them (fans) to be circumspect in all their endeavours.
Kamelyeon expressed his appreciation to Kofi Akoto of 16th August 85 Villa company for believing in his talent and investing in new project said.
“I wasn’t getting the right people to invest in my talent, and for Kofi Akoto to come in with this support, I am very grateful,” he said.
One of the producers of the album, Fimfim who was at the programme said working with Kamelyeon was a nice collaboration because he knew what he was about.
Ace prodcuer, JMJ, also called on Ghanaians to support Kamelyeon because he was endowed with a lot of talent.
The songs which are available on all music digital stores include, Positive & Negetive, Sm Addict, Mr Pinto, Party time, Smile, Overflow and Outro.

After years of development, funding, and creative grit, Ghanaian feature film “Ego Reach We All” has earned an official nomination to make its world premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this month.
Formerly titled Vagabonds, the 105-minute drama was written and directed by Amartei Armar and produced by Yemoh Ike.
It marks one of the biggest international breakthroughs for Ghanaian cinema in recent years.
The film was shot entirely in Ghana with a Ghanaian cast and crew, grounding it in authentic local culture.
Post-production was completed in France, a collaboration that Director Amartei Armar says reflects the film’s spirit, “A Ghanaian story told with the world.”
The journey began in 2018 when the short film version won at the Montreal World Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying event.
From there, ‘Ego Reach We All’ grew into a full-length feature backed by some of the most respected names in global film development: Winner – Cannes Focus CoPro, Recipient – Red Sea Development Fund, Honoree – Red Sea Souk Award and Backed by – Red Sea Productions Fund.
Industry watchers have called it one of the most promising African film projects to emerge in the last decade.
Beyond awards, the project was shaped in top international labs.
Armar was selected for the Heyazah Screening Lab in Doha, Qatar, to refine the film’s narrative.
Producer, Yemoh Ike joined the prestigious, 2023 EAVE Producers Programme under a CNC scholarship, with training sessions in Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Most recently, the film was chosen for the 2025 Atlas Workshop in Marrakesh, Morocco, cementing its place in global cinema circles.
Casts include, Idrissu Tontie, Dorothy Adobea Tandoh, Emmanuel Wilberforce, Barbara Yong Jin, Emmanuel Owusu Ofori, O’Bryan Kwame Enyan, Gabriel Narh Addo, Nelly Bilson, and Kwame Brenya.
For the team, Locarno is not just a festival slot. It’s validation that Ghanaian stories, told by Ghanaians, can compete on the world’s most respected stages.
“Principal photography was done entirely by Ghanaian creatives,” the producers noted.
