Ghanaian rapper, singer and sound architect, E.L has come through with an engaging hard-hitting tune dubbed “Wonti.”
The new CD comes at a time when fans of Ghanaian hip-hop and Afro-fusion are craving some real heavy bars that mix nuanced poetry with easy melody. Wonti is a track that solidifies E.L’s reputation as one of the most varied and imaginative music legends in Ghana, and here he asserts his creative authority and keen pen game. He walks to the microphone and makes a confident statement, once again establishing that his dynamic blend of rhythm, cadence, and indigenous flair is in a league of its own.
The producer creates a forceful mid tempo soundscape made of banging kicks, snappy hi-hat rolls and a deep, rolling bassline. Beneath the constant groove, subtle melodic synths and rhythmic accents weave, delivering the instrumental a modern bounce that keeps the energy moving consistently. Still, the sound arrangement is clear and spacious enough that his vocal deliveries and punchlines may take center of the mix with great clarity.
E.L navigates the song with his characteristic smooth flow, gritty vocal tone and smooth switch-ups between rap bars and melodic inflections. He rides the tempo with seasoned grace, spitting witty Akan-English puns and rhythmic bars that demand attention from the very first drop.
Lyrically it’s about self-confidence, ignoring the noise, focusing on the craft and walking through the industry with nothing but confidence. His pithy proverbs and snappy refrains provide an inspirational, head-nodding hymn for ordinary dreamers and hip-hop enthusiasts alike.
It everything fits together so well that you’ll find yourself locked in and thoroughly enjoying the ride. Throughout the length, clean production matches his seasoned vocal presence step upon step.
