Kwesi Arthur blends street cynicism with divine gratitude in the standout single “Yawa (Hosanna).” Arriving on January 17, 2026, the track serves as a sharp commentary on the “Yawa” (disappointments or betrayals) often found in the entertainment industry and how faith has been his ultimate shield.
The song is a high-energy Drill-infused record that maintains the melodic sensibility Kwesi is known for. While “Redemption” was introspective, “Yawa (Hosanna)” is more confrontational. The lyrics tackle the fake love and coordinated agendas aimed at dimming his light, with Kwesi asserting that every “Yawa” has only led to a “Hosanna” moment of praise. It is a raw, defiant piece that reflects his role as a resilient outsider, speaking directly to those who have been underestimated by their peers.
Musically, the track features a driving, percussive rhythm that emphasizes his punchy vocal delivery. His flow is fast and unapologetic, using street vernacular to paint a picture of a man who is untouchable. By releasing this, Kwesi has effectively reinforced his 2026 campaign—one rooted in an unwavering refusal to let industry pressure break his spirit.
