THE PRICE OF BECOMING EP

The EP opens with its title track, “The Price Of Becoming (Mpaebor)”, produced by IzJoe Beatz. The intro sets the tone for the project, introducing the central idea behind the EP and giving listeners an insight into the mindset that runs through the music. From there, the project moves through a blend of Highlife and Afrobeats, with songs including “Sika Mframa,” “Chacha,” “Obiaa Nte Mase,” “Fountain” featuring Nigerian artist Skales, and “Keteke.” These records showcase Amerado's ability to move comfortably between contemporary sounds and the Ghanaian musical traditions that continue to influence his identity as an artist. The project also gives room to two distinct sides of Amerado's musical personality. “Return Of The Lunatic 2,”produced by ItzCJ Madeit, is a full rap record that taps into his lyrical side and serves as a reminder of the technical ability that has earned him recognition as one of Ghana's notable rappers. The EP closes with “Pharaoh Remix,” featuring Epixode and Ras Kuuku, produced by Shawerz Ebiem. The reggae record brings the project to a fitting conclusion, adding another layer to the EP's diverse musical palette. Produced by a combination of some of Ghana's respected producers, including IzJoe Beatz, MOG Beatz, ItzCJ Madeit and Shawerz Ebiem, The Price Of Becoming moves across Highlife, Afrobeats, reggae and rap without losing the core identity of the artist at its centre.
