Edem is embracing a wider range of sounds, with a new album much broader than hip-hop alone. His latest single is called 'Over Again,' and although it still has a few verses in Ewe, it is mostly pidgin English, making it accessible to most Ghanaians, and even Anglophones worldwide. After becoming unavoidable for the Ewe people, Edem is ready to take over Ghana and Africa.
