Since emerging as one of the most vital voices in Ghana’s underground with the Pappy Kojo-assisted remix of his 2018 track “Banana,” B.Botch (Blessing Botchway) has been on a steady incline. While 2020’s Pain in Love introduced a fresh angle to the singer’s unfurling story, punctuating hip-hop influences with soulful interludes, 2021’s I Am B.Botch is a pivot to the Afrobeats influence of his earliest releases. From the beginning, I Am B.Botch is driven by bigger aspirations, wasting little time in setting the stage for the singer to utter, “Oh lord, bless my hustle with a lot,” over the jaunty, percussive base of “Perfect Time.” Elsewhere, B.Botch’s self-belief (“Remember”) is juxtaposed with the crushing lows of loss and grief (“Stars”). The innovative “Bore Me” is built around emotive chanting, while the singer shares his affluent fantasies via the Afrobeats of “Work.”
