Rising Ghanaian musician August Blaq is out with his new EP, “His Messengers Messagers.” This Afrikaans masterpiece is a vibrant tapestry woven from Afrobeat, highlife, and rich local Ghanaian rhythms, all pulsating with a fierce and unwavering message of justice and resilience.
Hailing from Tema, Accra, August Blaq’s musical journey began early, deeply captivated by the soulful sounds of R2bees, Davido, Olamide, Wizkid, Psquare, Shatta Wale, and the late Pop Smoke. As a child, he was profoundly struck by the inherent beauty of music, an experience that ignited a lifelong passion to create his own. His distinctive musical style—a bold and seamless fusion of Afrobeat, highlife, and local languages—sets him apart as an unapologetic truth-teller. “I’m local with my languages and somehow talk it how it is but only the truth,” he states, reflecting his steadfast commitment to authenticity and directness.
