Kweku Smoke – Faith ft Lasmid
Ghanaian hip-hop artiste and street storyteller Kweku Smoke has joined forces with talented vocalist Lasmid on an encouraging, spirit-filled album titled “Faith”.
A much-needed album, as fans of West African hip-hop and Afro-fusion need real, message-driven songs that speak to spiritual perseverance, the daily grind and clinging on to faith during terrible seasons. Kweku Smoke has carved a formidable reputation across the music industry, known for his gritty lyrical honesty and unique street viewpoint. Lasmid ignites a powerful creative synergy, combining forces to meld gruff rap performances with catchy, high-register melodic refrains that speak to dreamers facing silent struggles.
The sound architect crafts a warm, mid-tempo environment of delicate acoustic guitar strings, soft electronic piano chords and crisp percussion shakers. The constant Afro-fusion drum rhythm flows smoothly over a gentle rolling bass line that manages to keep an intriguing bounce without disturbing the meditative atmosphere of the tune. The clean sound engineering meanwhile keeps the layout uncomplicated and wide, providing both artists enough of breathing space to lead the mix with flawless clarity.
Kweku Smoke takes the lead on the song with his typical aggressive rasp, strong flows and rough delivery. He rides the slow beat with confidence, adding real feeling to his Akan and English lines as he raps about his grind, early failures, and staying on track under the constraints of the industry. Lasmid walks into the booth to take the tune to a new level with his signature high-pitched vocal runs, fast melodic phrasing and a hook that touches the soul and pushes the spiritual message home.
The songwriting is mostly about heavenly protection, making it through adversity, trusting God’s timing, and having steadfast “Faith” while the road is rough. Both are anthems for dreamers and hustlers everywhere, with their sympathetic stories and appealing choruses that make personal testimony universally soothing.
Everything is connected flawlessly on this record for a complete and highly gratifying listening experience. The sound is lush and mood-driven, matching their emotive vocal relationship for the full length.
