Ko-Jo Cue is more than a rapper — he’s a mirror to his people, a restless thinker, and one of the sharpest pens in modern Ghanaian hip-hop.
Born Linford Kennedy Amankwaa in Adum, Kumasi, and raised in Bantama by his grandmother, Ko-Jo Cue found rap at age 9 — through a cousin and the sound of Obrafour. It quickly became both a weapon and a refuge, helping him navigate boyhood, culture, and survival. After High School, he rose through the underground with a run of acclaimed mixtapes and viral singles like “Lie Ben” and “Head Nod.” His pen stood out — socially conscious, emotionally raw, unflinchingly Ghanaian.
In 2014, Ko-Jo Cue joined BBnZ Live and released The Shining, which earned praise from heavyweights like M.anifest and Wanlov. Three years later, he joined labelmate Shaker for Pen & Paper, a collaborative project that resonated so deeply it earned him a spot opening for Ms. Lauryn Hill.
In 2019, he released his debut 'For My Brothers' — a defining project that dissected manhood, mental health, grief, and hope through the lens of an African millennial. Its lyricism, vulnerability, and message earned him critical acclaim and a fiercely loyal fanbase.
After a brief hiatus, Ko-Jo Cue returned in 2023 with the I’m Back EP and a standout appearance in the BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher. The project — featuring “Mac Tontoh,” “Cedi Kasa,” and “Happy Endings” — signaled not just a comeback, but a renewal. Rawer, wiser, and more focused than ever.
