Ahead of the 2024 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs), the Unsung artiste has been unveiled.

Rapper Kwesi Amewuga is the announced winner in the category which was introduced in 2014 to highlight arguably unknown but remarkable music talents, overcoming Kasar, Lali X Lola, Keeny Ice, Seven Kizs and Alaptawan.

Winning the category also affords the act the privilege of performing during the momentous night nicknamed the biggest in Ghana music. 

On Facebook, Amewuga celebrated with the words: "God bless yall fam [prayer and heart emojis] We made this together [heart and thank you emojis].

"God bless each and everyone who has been supporting my craft [thank you emoji] and every one who voted for me [heart emoji] we have won together [heart emoji]. This is just the beginning [heart emoji] #3:30."

Of Ewe heritage but born in Sefwi Wiawso, Kwesi Amewuga is popular for his witty wordplay when he raps. He came to public attention circa 2020 through TikTok and YouTube videos in which he performed entertaining freestyles. Three years later, he released an EP titled Young Land Guard.

Kwesi Amewuga is expected on the Saturday June 1 TGMAs stage to mark the music awards scheme's 25th anniversary.
