Rapper Medikal Says He’s the Lifeline of Ghanaian Music This Year

Ghanaian rapper Medikal is making waves—not just with his music but with a confident claim: he says his single “Shoulder,” featuring Shatta Wale and Beeztrap KOTM, has been the lifeblood of Ghana’s music scene in 2025.

On August 10, 2025, Medikal took to X (formerly Twitter) to assert that “Shoulder” has kept the industry alive amid a competitive year. He also highlighted his ability to maintain street credibility while consistently dropping hits, posting that staying relevant both on the charts and on the streets is a rare skill.

His statements quickly sparked debates online. Supporters applauded his self-assessment, arguing that “Shoulder” brought energy and attention back to Ghanaian music. Critics, however, questioned whether one song alone could “save” the industry, pointing to Black Sherif’s chart-dominating “Iron Boy” and Moliy’s global sensation “Shake It to the Max” as evidence of other artists shaping the scene.

Fans engaged passionately, some challenging Medikal’s claim outright, while others defended his influence on the streets and online. The conversation reflects the ongoing tussle for dominance in Ghanaian music, as artists and fans weigh which releases have truly defined the year.

Medikal’s bold proclamation may have stirred controversy, but it has also reinforced his presence in the music conversation of 2025—proving that, love him or question him, he’s still at the center of Ghana’s music debate.
