Tutulapatu releases first single of the year, “Special Day”
Many entertainment analysts in the country labelled him as the youngest rapper in the country, after he emerged winner of the reality show, ‘Talented Kids’ at seven years, and organised by TV3.
Cosmos Boako, affectionately called Tutulapatu pulled the breaks on music to further his education for which he has now completed Junior High School and awaiting school placement to continue his Senior High School education.
For him, this feat has granted him the space to pay more attention to his music career while ensuring his educational goals are not eroded.
Speaking to The Spectator, the rapper who is now 16 year-old said, he had changed in age and style of rap but this not withstanding, he was the same Tutulapatu who had only matured in his delivery.
To satisfy the calls of his fans, Tutulapatu has released a new song which is his maiden single for the year.
The song titled, “Special Day” is a birthday song for everyone who has set a day aside as ‘special’ in his life.
Touching on the challenges he is confronted with as a budding artiste, he said, “ As a young artiste I have realised that many established artistes are lackadaisical towards others when it comes to collaboration which is not the best because it kills goodwill.”
This canker, he said, had delayed his album because most of the artistes he reached out to for verses to aid the release of his album had not shown interest. Regardless, he had been advised to focus and do his thing without waiting on other artistes.
He charged his fans to expect a lot from him because he had been working
tirelessly with his Happy Music Records behind the scenes.
The song is available on all digital music stores.

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
