In a music scene that often prioritizes fleeting hits, Keeny Ice stands as a monument to consistency, growth, and raw lyrical honesty. Today, the Aflao-born rapper delivers his most introspective work yet, his third EP titled “ICE COLD.” The six-track Hip-Hop project is a profound journey through the Artiste’s psyche, affirming his place as one of West Africa’s most compelling voices.
Announced a few months ago, the EP arrives with a weight of expectation, not just from his heavy fanbase across Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria, but from the Artiste himself. Keeny Ice sets the tone in a heartfelt message to his listeners, revealing the vulnerability that birthed this project. “This one is different. It’s not just another project—it’s a piece of my heart,” he shared, introducing an EP that promises to peel back the layers of the man behind the microphone.
Available today on all major streaming platforms, “ICE COLD” is a masterclass in modern hip-hop, featuring collaborations with his long-time colleague in rap, the formidable Lyrical Joe, and Kwesi Amewugah, a phenomenal rapper and the winner of the 2024 TGMA Unsung Artiste of the Year award.

The Journey Within: Perseverance and Purpose
The true power of “ICE COLD” lies in its raw, unfiltered narrative. Each of the six tracks serves as a chapter in Keeny Ice’s ongoing battle for self-belief and glory. As he explains, the project was forged in the fires of introspection and quiet struggle.
“Every song on this EP comes from a place deep within me. I poured in my vulnerability, the raw moments when I doubted myself, and the silent times I had to be my own motivation,” Keeny Ice reveals. This emotional core is palpable throughout the project. The song “Window,” featuring Kwesi Amewugah, is a powerful anthem of perseverance, urging listeners to keep pushing forward. “DEAR GOD” is a raw, direct conversation with his maker, a moment of spiritual grounding amidst the chaos. He reasserts his lyrical dominance on “PHIL FODEN,” a bold declaration of his untouchable space in the rap game, while the Lyrical Joe-assisted “DALI” serves as a pragmatic guide to life, advising listeners to secure their finances before chasing other pursuits.
If there is any way to describe Keeny Ice’s journey, it is this: “He came from the slums for the glory in the eyes of the world.” This isn’t just a tagline; it’s a summary of his relentless growth, consistency, and the masterful ability to manage the energies around him for the benefit of his career.
