Ghanaian Rapper Tulenkey presents his first release of the year, a four track EP entitled “Bad Friends”. Join Tulenkey on a musical journey where the voices in his head morph into deceptive companions. Each track becomes a chapter, recounting the internal conflicts and selfdoubt that characterize this intricate dance between Tulenkey and the negative influences that disguise themselves as friends. Featuring guest appearances by Kweku Flick, Oseikrom Sikanii & BeeztrapKOTM, this musical journey challenges the conventional norms of storytelling, with each song depicting the profound impact of unchecked negativity. The EP confronts the stigma surrounding mental health, encouraging listeners to empathize with the internal battles faced by many, resulting in a project that is relatable and intense simultaneously. Following the exclusive launch of the EP in Accra on Friday 16th February, this latest project by the dynamic Ghanaian rapper went live on all digital stores over the weekend. “Bad Friends” is available on all digital streaming platforms now. https://onerpm.link/badfriends
