Is Kwesi Arthur still making music? The record since Son of Jacob

Under Qwofi Manuel's TikTok breakdown of Kwesi Arthur's "Devil Knocking", one viewer asked why Kwesi Arthur is "no more singing again". The comment drew 705 likes and 35 replies by 25 October.

The replies offered theories, and his fans answered that he is still singing.

The record

Son of Jacob, released in 2022, was Kwesi Arthur's last album with his former label, Ground Up Chale.

On 21 January 2026, he said in a statement that the label had demanded US$150,000 before he could use images of himself. Ground Up Chale's side, through its lawyer on a Joy FM X Space, was that his contract ended in 2022 after Son of Jacob, that there was never any threat of violence, and that he had used images the label owns. The label has reportedly sued him for GH¢10 million.

Independent, and on the road

Sixteen days after the statement, on 6 February, Kwesi Arthur released Redemption Valley as an independent artist. It has eight tracks, among them "Yawa (Hosanna)".

In July, he went on his first tour of the United States, opening in Boston on 18 July, with Atlanta also on the dates. This month he was listed to play XOYO in London on 16 October.

So, to the question in the comments: yes, Kwesi Arthur is still making music. Since the split with his old label, he has put out a full album, toured the United States and been listed for a London show.
