Rising Ghanaian artiste, Jubed, delivers a bold musical statement with the release of his 5-track EP, From the Soil (FTS) — a project deeply rooted in his African heritage, personal journey, and creative evolution.
The EP follows the massive success of his breakout single “Ruwa”, which
captured hearts across the continent and established Jubed as a compelling new voice in the Afro-fusion scene.
“Ruwa”, a blend of Hausa melodies and Amapiano rhythms, gained major traction online and on radio, quickly becoming a street anthem and placing Jubed on the radar of tastemakers and fans alike.
The track’s raw energy and cultural pride set the tone for what has become an emotionally rich and rhythmically bold body of work.
Speaking on the inspiration behind “From the Soil”, Jubed shares: “This project is a reflection of where I’m from — the rawness, the pain, the joy, the beauty. I wanted to make something that felt rooted but still fresh.
“From the Soil” is my way of honoring my beginnings, my culture, and the journey I’ve taken to find my voice. Every beat, every lyric carries something personal, something African, something real,”
The EP opens with “Abena” featuring the soulful Kojo Blak, a melodic love story layered with highlife and Amapiano textures. “Jo!” follows — a high-energy anthem whose title means dance in the Ga language —celebrating rhythm, joy, and the vibrant pulse of Accra.
Track three is the acclaimed “Ruwa”, while “Gabaya” continues Jubed’s signature fusion of tradition and trend.
The project closes on a high note with a stunning remix of “Kilode” featuring Nigerian star Seyi Shay, bringing a cross-border synergy that reflects Jubed’s pan-African outlook.
All songs on “From the Soil” were produced by Kizzy and Egar Boi, and mixed & mastered by Authentic Mix, whose expert touch brings clarity, warmth, and cohesion to the sonic experience.
With “From the Soil”, Jubed proves he’s not just an emerging artiste — he’s a voice of the future, shaped by the past and rooted in the richness of African culture.
