Meet Kilimore, The New Afrobeat Sensation From Northern Ghana

The album featured top-notch artistes from the Upper East and beyond, including Teflon Flexx, Fad Lan, Cypid, Carblingx, HotMix, ReezyBwoy, and many others.

In an interview with Hype TV, Kilimore blamed his inability to gain dominance in the South on COVID but has since embarked on a radio tour in the northern regions to preach his message of “Money Good’.

Kilimore also hinted at releasing his second album with Up Records Ghana this year, titled “NoWhere Cool,” and has released the “nowhere cool” single since the announcement. In a phone interview with Hype Media’s Ebenezer Akandurugo, Kilimore revealed that, he is determined that “nowhere cool” is going to give him the breakthrough he’s been praying for.

Through hard work and determination, Kilimore got 3 and 7 nominations for the Upper East Music Awards in the 2020 and 2021 editions, respectively. In the just ended Navrongo Town awards, he was also awarded the Entertainer of the Year.
