Cojo Rae slots “Yeboo” into the middle of Gen Z Highlife, and even without a full breakdown of the track, its placement tells you something.
It sits at number seven on a fourteen-track album that runs thirty-seven minutes, right in the stretch where a project either holds its momentum or starts to sag . The Kumasi singer built the whole record around the idea that highlife belongs to his generation too, and every cut on it has to carry that argument.
The album arrived with features from Quamina MP, Beeztrap Kotm, and Ypee, and the cover shows Cojo Rae in a white tank holding a PS5 controller in front of vinyls and an old boombox . That image is the thesis: new tools, old foundation. “Yeboo” sits inside that frame, one of the tracks that flesh out the concept rather than announce it. It does not get the title-track spotlight or a guest verse, so it has to work on its own terms.
Cojo Rae, born Agyapong Raymond, came up through independent recordings and songs like “Aketesia” before building toward this full-length project . He has described himself as an originator of Gen Z Highlife, and the album is his attempt to prove that label means something beyond a slogan.
Press play on “Yeboo” and tell me how it sits in the middle of that record for you.
