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.

Ghanaian musician Sparqlyn is set to release another big hit.
His latest release, ‘Rosina,’ features Germany-based Ghanaian musician, video director, and sound engineer TEENO (known privately as Eric Kwame Tamakloe).
TEENO’s project ‘Signs’ was recently accepted by the Grammys for official consideration in the ‘Album of the Year’ category. Now, ‘Rosina’ is making serious waves across the airwaves.
Coming shortly after the impressive reception to his previous single ‘Fameko,’ ‘Rosina’ is already receiving strong attention from music lovers and radio listeners.
This new song carries an infectious Afrobeats and Hiplife feel while maintaining the romantic direction that characterised ‘Fameko,’ Sparqlyn’s 2026 Highlife collaboration with Ziya.
‘Fameko’ marked an important moment in Sparqlyn’s musical journey, with the love-themed highlife record receiving positive reactions from music lovers and media platforms following its June 2026 release.
The song became one of the highlights of his 2026 output, ranking high on multiple charts.
‘Fameko’ has also bagged Sparqlyn two top nominations: “Highlife Song of the Year” and “Artist of the Year” at the 2026 Stars Awards.
The combination of a romantic storyline, Afrobeats rhythm, and Hiplife influence give the song a sound that fits comfortably into the current Ghanaian music landscape.
The timing of the song’s release could also prove significant for the award-winning artiste. Sparqlyn recently secured two nominations at the 2026 Ghana Youth Empowerment Awards, where he is in contention for Youth Empowerment Advocate of the Year and Outstanding Youth Personality of the Year.
With ‘Fameko’ having established strong momentum earlier in the year and ‘Rosina’ now beginning to enjoy significant airplay, Sparqlyn appears to be ending another eventful chapter of his musical career on a high note.

Ghanaian highlife and Afrobeats singer Kuami Eugene Marfo known in showbiz circles as Kuami Eugene has urged fellow musicians and entertainers to use their influence on social media and other platforms to champion causes that positively impact society.
The award-winning artiste made the call during a UNICEF Ghana birth registration advocacy campaign in Bepoase in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region, where he joined officials from UNICEF Ghana and the Births and Deaths Registry to raise awareness about the importance of registering children at birth.
He explained that artistes wield significant influence and should leverage platforms such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram to amplify important social initiatives and encourage behavioural change.
The musician, who has partnered UNICEF Ghana on several child-focused campaigns, said he had a special interest in issues affecting children and was committed to supporting efforts that improved their welfare and future opportunities.
He noted that birth registration was critical because it established a child’s legal identity and ensured recognition as a Ghanaian citizen.
The advocacy drive forms part of UNICEF Ghana’s efforts to improve birth registration rates across the country through community engagements, public education and collaboration with traditional authorities.
The musician said he remained focused on creating quality music while continuing to support social causes that contribute to national development, particularly initiatives aimed at improving the lives of children. –GNA
