Kwaku DMC’s Road to the Jungle sees the Ghanaian rapper relay the varied emotions and experiences of his journey atop drill instrumentation. Over immersive soundscapes shaped by producers Moor Sound, TrapXcan, Joeyonmars, MJaydidthis, Anti Social, Ghanaian Stallion, Kuvie, and DJ FortuneDJ, the Kumasi-based artist details the challenges of growth and trappings of success. The ominous synths and arresting bassline of the introductory title track set the tone for an immersive offering, with DMC embodying his “King Kong Nyame” moniker through gritty cuts like “No Handshake” and “Agree,” the latter crafted alongside labelmates Reggie and O’Kenneth. While the cross-continental link-up “Akatafo Party” features the UK’s Suspect OTB, Kwaku displays his versatility through heartfelt storytelling on “Faith,” the acoustic infusions of “Ohemaa,” and the romantic lyrics of “Ode Yewu.”
