Ghanaian dancehall powerhouse Shatta Wale (Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr.) has released a brand-new single titled “Money Is Coming (MIC)”, produced by veteran beatmaker Da Maker. The song went live on June 27, 2025, and is available now on platforms like Audiomack, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and SoundCloud. Its release was shared officially on Audiomack today, letting fans stream and download it directly.
“Money Is Coming (MIC)” runs for approximately three minutes, presenting a dynamic dancehall rhythm that capitalizes on Shatta Wale’s signature swagger and lyrical flow. The instrumental, crafted by Da Maker—who has been instrumental in shaping Shatta Wale’s sound since hits like “Gringo” (produced in 2018 with Da Maker) —features punchy drums, deep bass, and synth accents. It sets the stage for a confident proclamation about financial fortune and self-made success, underscored by spirited ad-libs and unapologetic vocals.
Shatta Wale teased the track earlier today on his official social media, adding to fans’ excitement as part of his ongoing “Money Talk” brand messaging. That post aligns with previous statements last September, when he highlighted his drive to pursue musical income, again collaborating with Da Maker .
At age 40, Shatta Wale remains one of Ghana’s most influential reggae–dancehall artists, a legacy built since his early 2000s breakthrough under the name Bandana. His global recognition soared after 2019’s collaboration “Already” with Beyoncé and Major Lazer on The Lion King: The Gift, and his subsequent performances at events like Vybz Kartel’s Freedom Street concert in Jamaica . He also continues strong philanthropic efforts, such as the 2024 Accra Invasion Project to discover new talent .
In early 2025, Shatta Wale maintained momentum with a community clean-up and sanitation donation in Accra and partnerships with TikTok influencer Peller to promote his ride-hailing app Shaxi at his residence. All of these activities set the stage for “Money Is Coming (MIC)” to feel like a natural next step, complementing the hustler mindset that defines much of his brand.
“Money Is Coming” isn’t just another song—it’s a cultural statement affirming Shatta Wale’s staying power and entrepreneurial spirit. With its energetic tempo and familiar production style, it’s likely to become a summer anthem in Ghana’s nightlife and dancehall scene.
You can listen to “Money Is Coming (MIC)” now on Audiomack and all other major platforms. Let me know if you’d like a lyrical breakdown, promo visuals, or insight into a possible music video or upcoming tour announcements.
