This latest track is produced by the talented Beatz Vampire, who has been OliveTheBoy’s exclusive partner since his breakout success with “GoodSin” in 2023. With more than a million monthly listeners on Spotify, OliveTheBoy continues to impress with his musical offerings.

“Wonda Boy” is an anthem of victory, self-assurance, and the respect that accompanies achievement. OliveTheBoy explains, “The lyrics convey joy and pride in my current position and influence. The song reflects on my past challenges and the times I was overlooked, but it highlights that those days are behind me…now, people are curious about my success and want to learn more. However, I believe they cannot fully grasp the journey I’ve taken.”

Following the recent release of the music video for “Asylum,” a significant track from the deluxe edition of his Avana EP, OliveTheBoy is on a creative high. There are even rumors of a new EP set to be released next year. When asked about it by Music In Africa, he mentioned, “I haven’t really considered an album yet. I don’t feel the need to release an album at this moment. Perhaps something will inspire me in the future, prompting me to create an album about that experience, but for now, everything is stable, so an EP seems more feasible.”

Joel Osei Bonsu, known professionally as OliveTheBoy, skillfully fuses Afropop and R&B. In August 2023, he signed with Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music, through Bu Vision, and was featured in Apple Music’s Up Next program. His hit “GoodSin” won the Afrobeats Song of the Year at the 2024 Telecel Ghana Music Awards. So, take a moment to listen to “Wonda Boy” – it’s definitely worth your time!

Exciting news from the world of African music and culture: Rolling Stone has officially launched Rolling Stone Africa, and who better to grace the cover of their inaugural issue than the legendary Fela Kuti?

Announced on July 16, this new venture is a collaboration with MWANKOM Group and marks a significant step in celebrating African culture. Rolling Stone Africa aims to showcase the continent’s vibrant cultures and diverse voices.

Since 1967, Rolling Stone has amplified groundbreaking artists and cultural trailblazers across the US, Europe, and now Africa,” the company stated.

His music, perspective, and love for Africa continue to inspire all, not just in music, which is why we chose to launch with him as our first icon.

Samuel Panda, the magazine’s chief technology officer, added, “Africans are everywhere, and love for Africa extends beyond the continent. Our goal is to connect and celebrate the global African community.
