Emerging from Ghana’s ever-evolving underground trap scene, Gonaboy is a dynamic rapper whose 2022 track “Abom” shot him to mainstream consciousness, earning him cosigns from scene savants such as Black Sherif as well as a fanbase largely drawn to the themes of youthful resilience in his music. Three years later, on MUNIRU, the rapper grapples with the pressures of the limelight and the honest realities of personal growth. MUNIRU marks his first solo outing since 2024’s Trap Saviors. EP, which saw him team up with fellow underground novices, ACE ILLY and Kojo Trilla. Here, Gonaboy takes on a more introspective pursuit with emotionally charged lyrics backed by genre-bending production. He is unafraid to channel his soulfulness while exploring themes such as family dynamics, ambition, success, navigating relationships and the trials of being a young African man. On each track, he delivers his lines with the grit of an artist with a lot to prove yet confident enough in his abilities to take on the pressure.
