Kingzkid releases ‘Wadom’
Ghanaian gospel recording artist and songwriter, Emmanuel Essuman Mensah, widely known as KINGZKID has released another single for music lovers.
Featuring contemporary praise and worship icon Joe Mettle on his single “W’adom (Your Grace)’, the Afrobeat rhythm song was purposely released as a medium to spread the good news about the Grace of God that has been revealed to us through our Lord Jesus Christ.
W’adom comes with a groove that is not new to Joe Mettle who makes a special appearance on the song.
Kingzkid has over the years continued to be a force to reckon with in the urban gospel setting in Ghana.
He is without doubt one of the pacesetters and an inspiration to the up-and-coming urban gospel acts who are bringing hip-hop, rap, and Afrobeat acts to praising God.
Kingzkid in an interview said that the rationale behind the release was the fact that God’s grace was the foundation on which our lives were built.
“Our lives are testaments of the grace of God. God’s grace is the foundation on which our lives are built, the canvas on which our lives are painted. We are nothing without the Grace of God and made this beautiful song with a man who inspires me. I hope it blesses you. We are who we are by the Grace of God. Period! Thank you Joe Mettle.” KINGZKID said.
The official video of W’adom (Your Grace) was directed by Finn Mensah and produced by Laxio Beats.
KINGZKID is a Ghanaian Christian hip-pop recording artist and songwriter whose popular music “I Got My Jesus On” transformed his life to a whole new level.
Born on September 29, 1989, KINGZKID released his first album titled “Vindicated” in 2011 and second “Metamorphosis” in 2014.
As it stands, he is the first African Gospel Musician to win the Gospel Academy Awards ‘Best International Act 2019 award’.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
