You Should Really Watch This New Video From Ghana's Hausa Rap Lord Kirani Ayat

"Guda" is the second single off Kirani Ayat's forthcoming debut album, Aisha Sun.

In his signature Hausa-rap style, he delivers an infectious afro-trap track that tells the story of struggle, perseverance, determination and the will to succeed and become the one.

"The song talks about me being the one. Guda means the one, the chosen one. It also talks about a story of grass to grace; it's sort of like a motivational, inspirational song and also a bit braggadocious too," Ayat tells us.


Shot and directed by David Nicol-Sey in the picturesque grasslands of Bolgatanga, the video shows Ghana in a way that the world does not get to see every day; the sounds, culture, dances and landscapes.

All in all, this music video is a visually stunning experience and is probably one of the best ones out of Ghana this year.
