Ghanaian rapper and singer Joey B brought together two of the country’s most unique voices—Wanlov the Kubolor and Yaa Pono—on “Beautiful Boy,” a standout record produced by Kuvie. The song was officially released on 27 July 2018 under Stubborn Academy as part of Joey B’s Lava Feels EP.
Unlike a typical love song, “Beautiful Boy” explores themes of confidence, identity and staying true to yourself. Joey B opens the track with his laid-back delivery before Wanlov the Kubolor brings his unconventional style and witty lyrics. Yaa Pono completes the collaboration with a strong verse that adds a street-inspired edge, giving the record a unique balance of melody and rap.
