Keche x Medikal – Akoma (Prod. by Charpter Beatz)

Ghanaian music duo Keche teamed up with award-winning rapper Medikal for their 2018 single titled “Akoma.” The song was produced, mixed and mastered by Ghanaian sound engineer Chapter Beatz and released under the GB Recordz label.

Originally released in November 2018, “Akoma” brought together Keche’s entertaining musical style and Medikal’s rap delivery. The collaboration arrived towards the end of the year, offering music lovers a lively record with a playful message about the beauty of African women.

The title “Akoma,” which means heart in Akan, plays an important role in the song’s concept. Rather than focusing on a conventional love story, Keche use the beating of the heart as a comparison to the movement of a woman’s backside. This unusual approach gives the record a humorous and suggestive theme.

Medikal, who was performing under his AMG Beyond Kontrol brand at the time, adds his rap contribution to the song. His appearance brings another dimension to the collaboration, combining his familiar rap style with Keche’s entertaining approach to music.

The instrumental, handled by Chapter Beatz, provides a rhythmic foundation that supports both the duo and their featured artiste. The production gives the track an upbeat atmosphere, making it suitable for parties and other social gatherings.

Interestingly, “Akoma” also attracted public discussion shortly after its release. Some listeners questioned whether the song’s suggestive lyrics were appropriate, while others defended the creative use of humour and wordplay.

During a radio discussion in November 2018, the late music personality Willie Roi argued that the song was suggestive rather than explicitly profane. His comments added to the conversation surrounding the record at the time.

For Keche, the collaboration came during a period when the duo were working to maintain their presence in Ghana’s competitive music industry. The group, made up of Keche Andrew and Keche Joshua, had already released popular songs including “Aluguntugui,” “Diabetes” and “Sokode.”

Years after its original release, “Akoma” remains part of Keche’s collection of collaborations with established Ghanaian musicians.
