Award-winning Ghanaian singer-songwriter Kuami Eugene, affectionately known as the Rockstar Ba, has made a strong statement with the release of his highly anticipated Sweet Boy EP, which has already climbed to No. 10 on the Charts Ghana chart on its very first day.
The eight-track project (seven main tracks plus a bonus) dropped at midnight on Thursday, April 30, 2026, under Clear Road Music Records, and fans wasted no time showing love.
Industry watchers and streaming data indicate the EP is already dominating airplay and digital platforms across Ghana, with multiple tracks gaining rapid traction.
The Sweet Boy EP blends Kuami Eugene’s signature highlife-infused Afrobeats sound with soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Standout collaborations include the emotional “Stranger” featuring songstress Gyakie, and the smooth “Promise Me” with Nigerian R&B star Johnny Drille. Other tracks making waves include “Potomanto,” “Makola,” “Adult Music,” “Save Me,” “Oh, Ah,” and the bonus cut “I’m Hurt.”
Speaking ahead of the release, Kuami Eugene revealed his top three personal favorites from the project: “Stranger,” “Makola,” and the vulnerable bonus track “I’m Hurt.”
During a listening session in Accra, the artist and Gyakie even performed “Stranger” live, sending fans into a frenzy and giving early listeners a taste of the project’s magic.
The impressive #10 debut comes as no surprise to many in the industry. Kuami Eugene has consistently proven his staying power, topping Nigerian radio airplay charts among Ghanaian highlife artists earlier in 2026.
With this new body of work, the “Rockstar” appears determined to cement his position as one of Ghana’s most consistent and versatile hitmakers.

Fans and critics have taken to social media to praise the project’s cohesive vibe, catchy hooks, and the artist’s growth in storytelling. Many are already calling “Stranger” and “Makola” potential street anthems, while the collabs are expected to push the EP beyond Ghana’s borders into Nigeria and other African markets.
“Sweet Boy is more than just music , it’s a piece of me “I wanted to create something that feels intimate yet relatable, something that captures different emotions we all go through,” Kuami Eugene shared in recent interviews.
The timing of the release has added to the excitement, as music lovers across the country look to the project to soundtrack the coming months.
With Ghana’s music scene becoming increasingly competitive, a top 10 entry on day one signals strong commercial potential and massive fan support.
As streaming numbers continue to climb and radio stations begin heavy rotation, industry observers predict that Sweet Boy could produce multiple chart-topping singles.
The EP is now available on all major platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, and Audiomack.
Kuami Eugene’s ability to consistently deliver quality projects while experimenting with sounds has earned him a loyal following both at home and in the diaspora.
Whether it’s highlife, Afrobeats, or soulful R&B, the “Sweet Boy” project showcases why he remains one of Ghana’s most beloved voices.
As the Rockstar Ba continues his 2026 takeover, all eyes are now on how high Sweet Boy can climb in the coming weeks.
