‘Maseda’ by Edd Agyapong and Nana Adobea Sikapa:A perfect blend of praise and worship for all moods
On Tuesday, September 10, 2024, US-based Ghanaian gospel musician Edd Agyapong will release his first major single of the year, ‘Maseda’, which features Ghanaian-based musician Nana Adobea Sikapa.
Maseda (My Thanksgiving), as the title goes, is a personal testimony song for both Edd Agyapong and Nana Adobea Sikapa.
Maseda is the ultimate Thanksgiving song for anyone, irrespective of their religious beliefs and background, who has experienced goodness and favor. Sharing their personal experiences and how God came through for them at the nick of time.
Edd Agyapong revealed that, “Before and during the recording of this song, I wanted to call it Aseda because the Lord deserves all the glory. But after listening to the song after it was recorded, I realized this was a personal testimony and a complete summary of who I am and how far the Lord has brought me. I decided to go with Maseda and not Aseda because this is a personal Thanksgiving song from me to the Lord for his goodness and last-minute miracles when it mattered.”
Nana Adobea Sikapa also shared her personal experience, saying “This song, like most of my songs, was easy to record. When I heard the song, I only prayed for one word, and when I got it, it was effortless to flow. The message of the song by Edd Agyapong resonated with me, and that made a lot of difference in the recording process.”
“However, after listening to the song over again after the recording, I noticed how personal everything I said was to my life and some of the challenges I am going through. 2024 has been a tough year for me, but the Lord has always come through, and MASEDA is my way of telling God to come through for me once again,” she concluded.
Produced by US-based Ghanaian producer Osei, Maseda is an upbeat tune that is great for every situation or mood and sits perfectly between the gray lines of praise and worship.
The beautiful music video shot by renowned Ghanaian videographer, McWillies, also creatively uses the stunningly rich sceneries in Ghana to help share the Maseda testimony with all music video lovers.
Maseda by Edd Agyapong and Nana Adobea will be released on all music streaming platforms.

Ghanaian musician Darlington Agyekum, popularly known as Dr Cryme, says he believes leadership is about making a lasting impact rather than holding office.
In an interview after graduating with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management Studies at the Methodist University’s 2026 graduating class, Dr Cryme reflected on his student leadership journey and highlighted some of the initiatives he spearheaded while serving the university community.
“I always say this position is not a possession. People will come and go, but how you made a mark and who you helped is what we’re here for and how we’ll be remembered. Do your best, let God handle the rest,” he stated.
The rapper, who served as SRC President for the 2025/26 academic year, said his administration championed inclusiveness across the university’s three campuses under the motto, “For us, by us.”
“My motto, ‘For us, by us,’ brought inclusiveness and familiarity with all three campuses together in common goals and activities like education, health, sportsmanship and debates, which all projected the school to higher grounds and above,” he said.
According to him, the vision brought students together while strengthening unity and raising the profile of the university. He also served as a Council Member, Head of Entertainment and a face and brand ambassador for Methodist University Ghana.
Dr Cryme recounted that he was SRC President when the university celebrated its 25th anniversary and said his administration also revamped a legacy canteen project while improving seating facilities for students in classrooms and recreational areas.
He further disclosed that his administration introduced VOMUG (Voice of Methodist University Ghana), a communication platform designed to improve the dissemination of information through emails, bulk SMS, flyers and audio-visual content.
“I enhanced sitting materials for students both in the classrooms and outside for leisure and socialising. I also introduced VOMUG, which has helped in the dissemination of information through email, bulk SMS, flyers and audiovisuals, just to mention a few,” he added.
Although he and his team received citations from the university’s Tema administration in recognition of their service, Dr Cryme was quick to credit the wider university community for the achievements.
“Although we were presented with citations, myself and my team, by the administration in Tema, all these milestones wouldn’t have been attained without the support, involvement and indulgence of the beautiful people and stakeholders of Methodist University Ghana,” he said.
Beyond his academic achievement, Dr Cryme also announced that he has released a new single titled “Heat.”
