On April 8, 2025, Ghanaian artist 7hoenix Ogya released his latest single, "Chop Life." This music is not just a collection of sounds, it's a heartfelt expression wrapped in the smooth style of Alternative R&B, infused with West African culture and personal insights.
Created in his home studio, "Chop Life" reflects 7hoenix's personal experiences rather than aiming for mainstream popularity. The song begins slowly, building beautifully with rich melodies and heartfelt vocals. It feels both calming and uplifting, like having a wise conversation with your future self after a reflective evening walk.
Rather than just another track to fill playlists, "Chop Life" serves as an introduction to something bigger. His upcoming EP is what fans are eagerly anticipating. If "Chop Life" sets the mood, the EP promises to deliver a complete experience. The song's message is powerful and genuine, beautifully capturing the essence of living life to the fullest, a common saying in West Africa. But Phoenix adds depth to this idea, emphasizing that it's not only about celebrating good times but also about embracing every part of life, including both the highs and lows. This balance is where he truly shines.
Although he hasn't played at major events or festivals just yet, 7hoenix Ogya has been steadily gaining recognition, partly thanks to support from BBC Introducing Radio. His rise in the music scene has been gradual but sure, making his mark with authenticity.
