Ras Kuuku declares ‘Wo’ the most iconic song in Ghana since 1999

Ras Kuuku has boldly proclaimed his 2018 hit song “Wo” as the most significant track of the past 20 years.

Speaking in an interview with Joy News, the award-winning artist reflected on the enduring impact of the song and the hurdles he overcame to solidify his legacy.

Its catchy rhythms, powerful lyrics, and authentic sound struck a chord with audiences, propelling him to greater heights.

Reflecting on his career, Ras Kuuku emphasized the importance of staying true to one’s artistry despite external pressures. “This song is a testament to the fact that good music will always find its way. I put my heart into it, and that’s why it resonates with so many people.”

The artist’s claim has sparked discussions within the Ghanaian music space, with fans and industry stakeholders debating the impact of “Wo” compared to other major hits over the last two decades. Some agree with Ras Kuuku, citing the song’s enduring relevance and influence, while others point to the success of other iconic tracks from his contemporaries.
