“Ghana’s foremost rapper and global music voice”

M.anifest is widely recognized as one of Africa’s most innovative MCs, an award-winning rapper, singer, and storyteller whose bilingual lyricism bridges continents. Born and raised in Ghana, he moved to the U.S. for college and began gaining attention for his sharp lyricism and genre-blurring sound.

A cultural ambassador and genre disruptor, M.anifest blends West African storytelling with forward-thinking production. He’s collaborated with global icons like Damon Albarn, Flea, Tony Allen, Erykah Badu, Burna Boy, and Vic Mensa, as well as African trailblazers like The Cavemen. His 2025 album New Road and Guava Trees, released on Mass Appeal, debuted at #1 in Ghana and was praised for its “genreless, soulful, and strikingly honest” sound.

Whether performing on international stages such as Glastonbury, Africa Express, or SXSW, or sparking dialogue through music, M.anifest continues to shape global perceptions of African creativity. His work is a bold statement on identity, innovation, and the power of music to transcend borders.
