KiDi – Drunk Freestyle (Prod. By Kay So)

Before becoming one of Ghana’s most successful Afrobeats and highlife musicians, KiDi was already developing his sound through early recordings, including “Drunk Freestyle.” Produced by Ghanaian record producer Kay So, the song offers listeners an opportunity to revisit an earlier stage of the singer’s musical journey.

Although the recording appeared again on Ghanaian music websites in October 2018, it had been circulating online for several years. An upload titled “KiDi – Drunk” was published on SoundCloud as far back as January 2015, making it one of the earlier recordings associated with the musician.

KiDi, whose real name is Dennis Nana Dwamena, eventually gained national recognition after winning the 2015 MTN Hitmaker competition. His victory helped open doors in Ghana’s music industry and contributed to his subsequent association with Lynx Entertainment.

“Drunk Freestyle” belongs to the period when the singer was building his catalogue and experimenting with different musical approaches. The recording also highlights an early working relationship with Kay So, a producer who would later contribute to several notable Ghanaian releases.

Kay So, also known as KaySo From Tema, has worked across hip-hop, Afrobeats and R&B. His production credits include Kwesi Arthur’s “Grind Day” and its remix featuring Sarkodie and Medikal.

The producer would also work with KiDi again on “Say Cheese,” a song released as part of the singer’s Blue EP in 2020. Their collaborations demonstrate a musical connection that extends across different stages of KiDi’s career.

By the time “Drunk Freestyle” resurfaced on music websites in 2018, KiDi had already become a recognised name through songs such as “Say You Love Me,” “Odo” and “Adiepena.”

His success with these recordings helped establish his reputation for combining Ghanaian highlife influences with contemporary Afrobeats and R&B sounds.

The contrast between his early material and later commercial releases makes “Drunk Freestyle” particularly interesting for listeners following his development. It provides another entry in a catalogue that documents his progression from an emerging performer to an established recording artiste.

For fans who discovered KiDi through his popular singles, revisiting older recordings such as “Drunk Freestyle” offers a broader picture of his musical beginnings and the producers who contributed to his early work.
