Legendary Ghanaian music producer and talent scout Hammer of The Last Two reasserts his influence on the West African music scene with the release of a heavy-hitting single, The Fire. Produced by Hammer himself, the record features a formidable lineup of Ghanaian talent including two-time BET Award winner Sarkodie, versatile rapper and producer E.L, and the rising Benjies. Hammer, born Edward Nana Poku Osei, maintains a historical reputation for discovering and launching the careers of most Ghanaian rap icons through his signature heavy percussion and cinematic arrangements. His history in the industry involves the creation of the Last Two label, which became the primary engine for the Hiplife movement in the early two-thousands, birthing legendary albums for acts like Obrafour and Tinny.

The Fire serves as a bridge between the foundational sounds of Ghanaian hip-hop and the contemporary flow of its current leaders. Sarkodie, a Tema native, brings the technical speed and lyrical authority that earned him the first-ever BET Best International Flow award. E.L, known for his ability to switch between afrobeats and hardcore rap, provides a melodic contrast that complements the dark, rhythmic production. Released under the Hammer of The Last Two imprint with digital distribution by MiPROMO, the track reinforces Hammer’s status as a pioneer who continues to command respect across generations. This collaboration follows a period of individual successes for all acts involved, marking a significant return to the collaborative spirit that defined the golden era of Ghanaian rap music.
