Some songs come with a warning label. Kweku Flick’s new one comes with ants. The Kumasi melody merchant has linked up with the Dancehall King himself, Shatta Wale, on a brand-new single titled “Sweet”, and the cover alone tells you the matter: a red candy lollipop dripping syrup while an army of black ants marches in for a taste. Chale, when something is that sweet, everybody wants a piece, and that is exactly the energy these two are selling.
The record landed on Wednesday, 21 October 2026 through ONErpm, with the official audio slide going up on Kweku Flick’s YouTube channel the same morning. Within a day it had already pulled more than seventeen thousand views, which in Ghana music maths means the group chats have started doing their work. Midweek drop, big feature, loud artwork. The man knows what he is doing.
⚡ The Drop in 30 Seconds
“Sweet” is a Kweku Flick single featuring Shatta Wale, produced by Khendi Beatz and written by the two artists under their government names, Andy Osei Sarfo and Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr. It runs 2:53, it is tagged explicit, and it sits in that Afrobeats pocket built for dancing first and asking questions later. It is also a full-circle moment: back in 2020, a teenage Kweku Flick was one of the young voices on Shatta Wale’s posse cut “Ahodwo Las Vegas”. Six years later, Flick is the one holding the door, and Shatta is the guest walking in.

The Vibe: Sugar, Bounce and a Little Bit of Wahala
Early write-ups describe “Sweet” as an upbeat, feel-good party record: bright Afrobeats bounce, melodic synths, a groove that pushes your shoulders before your brain has finished deciding, and a love-and-good-vibes message wrapped in plenty of swagger. Khendi Beatz keeps the drums busy but leaves room in the middle, which is exactly what you want when you have two very different voices sharing one beat. Kweku Flick brings the Twi melodies and the smooth, sing-rap delivery that made Kumasi fall for him; Shatta Wale brings the dancehall attitude that can turn any verse into a street announcement.
Think of it as the soundtrack to that moment on a Friday evening when the light bill has been paid, the waakye seller has added extra wele, and life is suddenly, unreasonably sweet. At under three minutes, the song does its business and leaves before overstaying its welcome. That is how replays are born, and DJs from Adum to Osu will understand the assignment.
The Cover: Candy, Syrup and an Ant Invasion
The artwork is one of the cleverest we have seen this month. The word “Sweet” is moulded into a glossy red lollipop on a white stick, dripping thick syrup into a puddle below, with the names Kweku Flick and Shatta Wale printed in small capitals underneath. Then come the ants, crawling over every letter and gathering at the bottom like guests at a Kumasi funeral who heard there is free jollof. It is playful, slightly scary and very Ghanaian in its humour: anything sweet will attract a crowd, so guard your own.
Who Is Kweku Flick?
Kweku Flick is the stage name of Andy Osei Sarfo, a singer, rapper and songwriter born on 16 May 2001, with roots in Asante Mampong in the Ashanti Region and a schooling journey through Kumasi that ended at St. Hubert Seminary in 2020. That same year, while most of his mates were still celebrating their final exams, he dropped “Awake” and then “Money”, a Twi-heavy anthem that travelled from Kumasi trotros to the 3Music Awards stage. He is known for opening his songs with “PAW”, short for Prayers Always Work, and for sliding easily between drill, highlife, hiplife and Afrobeats.
The features list reads like a who’s who of Ghana music. He was on Kweku Darlington’s monster hit “Sika Aba Fie” with Yaw Tog, linked Kuami Eugene for “No Sleeping”, Ko-Jo Cue for “Adwuma N’asi” and Fameye for “Y3 Koom”, and released his album King of Melodies in 2022. He teamed up with Smallgod on the 2022 World Cup chant “Blackstars” and on “Kusuu”, whose remix pulled in ODUMODUBLVCK. In 2026 the run has been steady: the Sarkodie collaboration “Odo Pa” in May, “Black Stars Anthem Pt.2” in June, the high-energy “Frangō” in July and a guest turn on NY Melody’s “Kae Yesu” in August. “Sweet” is the next brick in that wall.
Why “Sweet” Matters Now
October has been a very busy month for the Shatta Movement boss. He counted down to his birthday with the self-produced “One More Year”, jumped on producer Nawtyboi Tattoo’s “Murky”, and now he is lending his voice to one of Kumasi’s most consistent young hitmakers. For Kweku Flick, that is a big co-sign heading into the December season, when every Ghanaian artist wants a record that can survive a beach party, a wedding reception and a long Kejetia traffic jam. For Shatta, it is another reminder that his feature still moves the needle across generations.
There is also something sweet, pun fully intended, about the story behind it. The boy who squeezed onto a crowded Shatta Wale posse cut in 2020 is now the headliner, and the Dancehall King is happy to play the supporting role. In an industry where beef often sells faster than music, that kind of respect between Accra and Kumasi is worth celebrating. Now the only question left is whether the visuals will bring even more ants.
