The album which was set to be released last year but could not see the light of day as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) infection contained 12 tracks delivered in the Waali and English languages.
Speaking at the launch, the musician, Typanza said he believed that the album would become a yardstick by which other albums by colleague musicians would be measured in the region.
He said it was an artistic representation of some peculiar as well as regular aspects of everyday life experiences and represented a new turn in his career where he had decided to ascribe all the diligence and commitment needed to pursue his musical career.
“I see myself playing my part to grow the music industry in the region in future as people are beginning to appreciate their own artists and the local music industry, hence, we need to as musicians meet their expectations by giving them quality songs”, he stated.
He called on residents to patrionise local music and encouraged local disc jockeys as well as radio presenters to also give local songs the needed playtime on air to ensure that the songs competed favourably with tracks from outside the region.
On his part, Principal State Attorney, Mr Saeed Abdul Shakur, who was the chairman of the programme described the album as a professional piece with well-arranged beats and sound that could be marketed anywhere in the world and called on young artists to emulate same.
Typanza has over 20 tracks to his credit and has collaborated with artists such as Wiyaala and other Upper East-based musicians in his songs.
The rapper has so far received three local awards at the Progress Music Award Scheme; Peace Building Song of The Year 2016, Best collaboration in 2017 and Afro Pop Song of The Year also in 2017.

Ghanaian gospel artiste, Jesse Delali, has released his latest single, ‘Hallelujah’, a powerful praise anthem that urges believers to lift the banner of worship and give glory to the King of kings.
Rooted in gratitude, surrender, and heartfelt adoration, ‘Hallelujah’ is more than a song; it is a declaration of God’s greatness and a reminder that He deserves the highest praise not only because of His mighty works, but simply because of who He is.
The upbeat tempo contemporary church praise jam blends energetic rhythms with a worshipful message, making it a perfect sound for Sunday services, personal devotion, and moments of collective celebration in the presence of God.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Jesse Delali describes ‘Hallelujah’ as a call for every believer to exalt God regardless of circumstances.
“God deserves our praise at all times. ‘Hallelujah’ is a declaration of gratitude and surrender-a reminder that our worship is not only tied to what God does for us, but who He is,” he explains.
The production of ‘Hallelujah’ was handled by renowned music producer Junior Boateng of Newgenn Studios, who crafted a rich and energetic soundscape that complements the song’s celebratory message.
The official music video, shot and edited by Kwame Aboagye of Envision Media, brings the song’s message to life through captivating visuals recorded live in Ottawa, Canada that reflect the joy, passion, and spiritual atmosphere behind the praise anthem.
