Connecting the UK and West Africa one release at a time, London-based multi-disciplinary and music executive KJ Spio, reputable for his DJ Khaled-like status, has called on none other than African hit-maker Oxlade for his latest track, “Emiko”.
Being his first release of 2025, “Emiko” comes fresh off collaborations with Gyakie, Konshens, Sarkodie, Ambré, Harmonize, Libianca, and many more. Accumulating praise for being one of the many names changing the trajectory of Afrobeats, the likes of COLORS, Ones To Watch, GRM Daily, Notion, New Wave Magazine, Ministry of Sound and more, have shown their support.

On a mission to shed light on Ghana’s heritage, Oxlade glazes the production, courtesy of acclaimed producer BlaiseBeatz [Chris Brown, WizKid, Asake, Davido, Adekunle Gold, Omay Lay, & more] with his infectious melodies and silk-like tone. The track’s appeal is in the meaning behind the song, believing all things are possible, overcoming obstacles and naysayers.
KJ Spio and Oxlade take to the historic landmark Cape Ghost Castle, one of the largest buildings that holds the legacy of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Opening the music video sat at the top of the castle, Oxalde and KJ Spio exchange words, “This is where they had our four fathers underneath the castle bro. Now look at us, two kings out here making beautiful art” before unravelling the vibrant sounds of “Emiko”.
Capturing the beauty of Ghanaian women throughout and styling the women in IMPARI’s ONT_KOP clothing collection that ‘reflects the growing divide between humanity and the Earth’, showcases the women of Ghanaian culture in a beautiful light with a Goddess like presence to them.
When asked about the release, KJ Spio explained, “The song is about believing in all things being possible through God. Ox. Emiko only God, for all the believers out there!”
