Ghanaian rapper Strongman swaps competitive bars for survival and faith on “Everlasting,” a reflective hip-hop record featuring singer Ayisi.
The song follows “The Statement,” where Strongman spoke about his place in Ghanaian rap. This time he looks inward. He raps about enduring hunger, carrying responsibility for other people, and refusing to give up. He also talks about faith and making every opportunity count, while he builds toward a lasting legacy. So the record feels like a man counting what he has survived.
Apya produced it, and the sound matches the mood. Smooth guitar loops sit over mid-tempo drums, and warm Afro-soul textures fill the space. That setup gives Strongman room for his densely written verses. Ayisi then handles the melodic parts, with a hook and verse that focus on endurance. Moving between rap and singing keeps the long lyrical sections fresh, so nothing drags.
The timing is good for him. Strongman, whose real name is Osei Kwaku Vincent, recently won Best Rap Performance at the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards for “Mensei Da.” He also took the same award in 2024 for “Dear God.” Fans know him for sharp rhyme schemes and Asante Twi wordplay, and this song shows a softer, grateful side of his writing.
For listeners who like conscious rap with real feeling, this one stays with you.
