Ghanaian rapper Kofi Mole has rejected suggestions that his latest EP, 4 Da Poppin, could struggle for attention after being released on the same day as major projects from fellow Ghanaian artistes Black Sherif and Kweku Smoke.
September 4, 2026, became a major release date for the Ghana music industry, as Black Sherif dropped his six-track EP, Sun Sherif, while Kweku Smoke released his 13-track studio album, No Days Off.
The simultaneous release of the three projects generated significant discussion among Ghana music fans, with some industry observers questioning whether Kofi Mole should have selected a different date to avoid competing directly with two highly popular artistes.
However, Kofi Mole has made it clear that he has no regrets about his decision. Responding to the debate on X, formerly Twitter, the Ghanaian rapper said he would not alter an already scheduled release date simply because another musician was releasing a project on the same day.
“Once I set my release date I set am! Make Tupac resurrect then decide to drop album same day, we go drop together.”

Kofi Mole’s statement highlights his confidence in 4 Da Poppin and his belief that strong music can attract an audience regardless of the number of competing releases.
The rapper’s position also challenges the growing perception that Ghanaian artistes should avoid releasing songs or albums at the same time as bigger commercial names. With music streaming platforms expanding access to new releases, Kofi Mole believes there is enough room for different artistes and projects to reach their respective audiences.
The release date clash has added further excitement to Ghana’s competitive hip-hop and Afrobeats music scene, with Kofi Mole, Black Sherif and Kweku Smoke now competing for music streams, radio airplay, chart positions and fan attention.
Rather than changing his strategy, Kofi Mole appears determined to stand behind his latest project and compete directly with some of Ghana’s biggest contemporary music stars.
As 4 Da Poppin, Sun Sherif and No Days Off continue to attract listeners, music fans will be watching closely to see which project performs strongest across Ghanaian music charts and digital streaming platforms.
