Magic Rocker set to release three new singles
This year, three new tracks by Ghanaian disc jockey (DJ) and performer Richard Essien better known on stage as Magic Rocker will be released in Ghana.
His previous smash singles “Baby U Are Hot” and “Talk Dirty,” which were released last month, are followed by the three new hits ‘Who Are You, No More War, and Lion King.’
The three mid tempo tracks with danceable beats suitable for any social gathering, according to the Ghanaian singer and songwriter, feature real African rhythms and seductive vocals that will have listeners listening to the songs repeatedly.
He recently revealed that his music career is not based on awards and honours.
His ability to effortlessly combine the moods of highlife and afro rhythm with accessible words in his music has won him followers all over the world.
The ferocious anthem “Who Are You” highlights Magic Rocker’s formidable presence. The songs for Gavali Music were produced by renowned beat producers Magic Rocker, Mr. Sarge, King Jay, and Kofi.
The song is the ideal fusion of intense rhythms and captivating melody.
This song, ‘No More War’, explores the desires and hardships related to the need for independence.
His flexibility as an artiste is demonstrated by his ability to address a wide range of topics through his music, from socio-economic realities to empowerment.
‘Who Are You’ and ‘Lion King’ both demonstrate his dedication to maintaining his artistic integrity while pursuing new artistic frontiers.
Magic Rocker has once again shown that he is a force to reckon with.
According to him, “I have a lot of unreleased music, but I decided that at this stage of my career, it will be appropriate to release these two singles to fan the flames I started earlier in the year,” Magic Rocker said.
Magic Rocker, whose songs are well-known in a number of countries, including Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, Cote d’Ivoire, and the United States of America (USA), stated that music has not turned out the way he had hoped and that he wants to utilise it to elevate Ghana’s profile abroad.
After listening to the tracks, many disc jockeys (DJs) already think that the songs will become hits in the music industry and could even win awards in the following year with the right
promotional approach.

Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
