Somebody at your office just discovered Nathino. Maybe the song played in an Uber, maybe a church youth WhatsApp group dropped a link, maybe your cousin in Kumasi has been forcing it on everybody since 2021. Now the question is the classic Ghanaian one: “Where do I even start?” The man has singles, two EPs and a catalog that moves from bars to praise to banku. So we did the work. This is The Ent News starter guide to the RFGM / Rap For God Music artist who sings, raps, produces and still sits behind the faders to mix and master. Ten songs, one listening order, zero confusion.

🧭 How to Use This Guide

Play them in order. The list is not a ranking; it is a walk, from the grace-first early singles to the 2023 run that ended with the Bless Me EP. Every entry links our full rewind plus official streams. Short on time? Jump to the 15-minute playlist at the bottom.

🎧 Start Here: “Favour” (Official Audio)

🔢 The 10 Essential Nathino Songs

1. “Favour” (2021)

Vibe: a grace-first opening prayer with rap shoes on.

Released on 22 January 2021, “Favour” kicked off the famous early-2021 streak, landing one day after “Jesus Is Born” and just before “My Life” and “Loyalty Flow”. It is nearly four minutes of hip-hop thanksgiving, and it tells you the whole Nathino thesis in one go: the faith is the foundation, the bars are the building.

2. “Winner” (2020)

Vibe: the first brick, painted bright yellow.

Out on 20 March 2020, “Winner” is the oldest solo record in his Apple Music catalog, with Nathino credited as composer. His YouTube channel teased a studio session for it back in September 2019, tagged “Winners Never Quit”. So this one was cooked slowly, like proper light soup.

3. “Million Questions” (2021)

Vibe: 2am ceiling-fan thoughts, but with bars.

Dropped on 27 February 2021, this is Nathino in pure rap mode, filed under hip-hop on both Apple Music and Audiomack. Rent, future, family and faith all knock on the door at once, and he answers with verses instead of excuses. If anybody tells you gospel artists only do clap-and-sway, play them this one and collect your apology.

4. “Elevate” ft TomTom Againn (2021)

Vibe: urban-gospel lift-off with a co-pilot.

Released on 7 May 2021 and produced by Nathino himself, “Elevate” pairs him with TomTom Againn on one of the brightest climbs in his catalog. Apple files it under Christian music, but the bounce says “do not sit down”.

5. “No Pressure” ft Wuddah (2021)

Vibe: Afro-soul that tells stress to calm down.

Out on 4 September 2021, with “PROD. BY NATHINO” right on the cover, this one landed in the middle of his three-singles-in-eight-days sprint, between “Fake Love” and “Alone”. Wuddah brings a second voice, Nathino brings the beat and the calm.

6. “Fadi Banku” ft Majesty & Kwadwo Sheldon (2022)

Vibe: three men, one pot, serious kitchen management.

Served on 7 January 2022, “Fadi Banku” is the Afrobeats plate that proves Nathino can laugh too. The Black Majesty Entertainment upload credits him as producer, and the title alone makes every Ghanaian stomach sit up before the beat enters. Under three minutes, zero leftovers.

7. “Love Me Now” (2023)

Vibe: Afrobeats sweetness with a deadline.

Released on 10 February 2023, just days before Val’s Day, “Love Me Now” runs about two minutes twenty and wastes none of it. This is the radio-friendly side of Nathino, the one you send to the person you are “just friends” with. No pressure. Okay, small pressure.

8. “Aseda” (2023)

Vibe: Twi thanksgiving, declared loud.

“Aseda” means thanks, and Nathino means it. The standalone single arrived on 17 March 2023, while an earlier cut with Kojo Spy6 lives on the GRATITUDE EP from December 2021. Two minutes of praise that slaps before the hook even lands.

9. “Dear Motherland” (2023)

Vibe: a letter to Ghana, posted under the Independence Arch.

Released on 29 September 2023 and produced by Nathino, “Dear Motherland” is two and a half minutes of a son talking straight to his country. The sepia Black Star Square cover says it all before the first bar. This is where you hear that his faith and his Ghana are the same conversation.

10. “Eli Eli” from the Bless Me EP (2023)

Vibe: Afrosounds prayer meeting with bounce.

The Bless Me EP, released on 10 November 2023 through BLACK NETWORK MUSIC GROUP, is his latest lead project, and “Eli Eli” opens it. Four tracks, Eli Eli, Follow Me, Weary and Sing Aloud, about eleven minutes total. Finish here, then run the EP back.

⏱️ If You Only Have 15 Minutes

Traffic at Kwame Nkrumah Circle is only giving you a quarter hour? Run these five short ones back to back, roughly twelve and a half minutes, with time left to share the link:

  1. “Aseda” — open with thanks
  2. “Love Me Now” — small romance
  3. “Eli Eli” — the prayer with bounce
  4. “Dear Motherland” — the letter home
  5. “Fadi Banku” — close with chop

💡 Why Nathino Matters

Plenty artists sing about blessings. Very few of them also mix the blessing, master it and produce it. That is the Nathino difference. The same ears that balance the kick drum write the verse, which is why his catalog sounds personal from first bar to final fade. He produces his own records, and The Ent News even carried a “Zero” instrumental produced by Nathino back in 2024. Urban gospel in Ghana needs voices that can stand in the church and on the street without changing their shoes. Nathino is one of them. Want the full biography first?
