Ghanaian rapper Lyrical Joe opens a fresh chapter with the new single “Intro – A Star,” built on minimal production. The beat stays lean, leaving room for his voice to carry the weight. Because the arrangement avoids clutter, his bars land with sharper impact. Yet the track still feels full, thanks to the careful layering of the drums and the subtle bassline.
“Intro – A Star” serves as the opening track from the EP 5th August 10 The Ep, which arrived on August 6. The song runs just under three minutes, a tight window that keeps the focus on the writing. Lyrical Joe, born Joseph Gamor, has long been a steady presence in Ghana’s hip hop scene. He won the VGMA 22 Rapper of the Year award, and his past projects like PHOTO ALBUM and I AM have built a loyal following.
The production here leans into a classic rap aesthetic. Sparse keys and a steady kick drum push the record forward. His delivery stays confident, his wordplay sharp, and the whole thing feels like an invitation into his world. The song does not chase radio gloss; instead, it lets the bars breathe.
