Ghanaian rap heavyweight M.anifest teams up with Kwesi Arthur on “No More Sleep” and this is exactly the kind of record Ghana needs right now. Two of the sharpest voices on one song is never a small thing.

“No More Sleep” is a push against complacency. M.anifest and Kwesi Arthur are direct and purposeful, and every line lands with weight. The urgency in their delivery makes it clear this record was built to say something real.

Kwesi Arthur shows up strong on No More Sleep, and the chemistry between the two feels earned. It is the kind of record that makes you think the first time and then pulls you back for another round without much convincing.
