Cojo Rae adds “I Can’t Explain (Adiza Maame)” to his “Gen Z Highlife” album, a project built around modern highlife.

No guest is listed on this one. So the spotlight stays on Cojo Rae. Production credits haven’t surfaced yet, and details on the sound are thin. Still, the album’s direction gives good context.

Cojo Rae, born Agyapong Raymond, began recording while at Opoku Ware School in Kumasi. Since then, he has released “Aketesia,” “Jah Guide,” and “I’m Not Safe.” Earlier projects include “FODE,” “Before the Album,” and “Akata Love.” So “Gen Z Highlife” is not his first body of work.

The album title says a lot. It places highlife at the centre. Cojo Rae also aims to link traditional Ghanaian sounds with modern pop. That is a popular path for young Ghanaian artists right now.

Guests appear elsewhere on the project. Beeztrap KOTM joins him on “Baby Daddy,” Ypee features on “Lala,” and Quamina MP is on “Kwesi Arthur II.” Songs like “Aberanteɛ,” “Dbee,” and “Yeboo” fill out the rest of the tracklist. So this solo cut gives the album a quieter moment.

For listeners following his rise, it offers another angle on his writing.
