Ghanaian rap heavyweight M.anifest has teamed up with Asakaa frontliner O’Kenneth and Ghanaian Chicago-based newcomer wavypae for ‘ON TEN’, a high-energy Hip Hop collaboration that brings three different eras of Ghanaian rap into one record.
The song finds M.anifest bringing his veteran precision alongside O’Kenneth’s new-school Asakaa flair, while wavypae adds a sharp and infectious hook that gives the record an extra layer of energy. Together, the three artists turn their different approaches into a unified statement built around discipline, confidence and the determination to keep moving.
Produced by Swiss duo Hook & GR!, ‘ON TEN’ runs at a brisk 148 BPM, giving the track an energetic foundation that matches its message. The production creates plenty of room for each rapper to bring their own character to the record while keeping the momentum high from beginning to end.
One of the track’s defining features is its use of three languages. M.anifest, O’Kenneth and wavypae move between English, Twi and Pidgin, reflecting the different influences that continue to shape Ghanaian Hip Hop. Rather than separating their styles, the multilingual delivery helps connect the artists and gives ‘ON TEN’ a distinctly Ghanaian identity.
At the centre of the record is a simple but powerful mentality: operating at the highest level and refusing to make excuses. The recurring idea of being “10 outta 10” turns the song into an anthem for execution, self-belief and staying committed to the task at hand.
The collaboration is particularly notable for the way it connects established Ghanaian Hip Hop with the new generation. M.anifest represents years of experience and lyrical craftsmanship, while O’Kenneth brings the influence of the Asakaa movement that has reshaped the sound and culture of Ghanaian rap in recent years. wavypae, meanwhile, represents an emerging voice with a style built to immediately catch the listener’s attention.
For M.anifest, ‘ON TEN’ marks his third single release of 2026 through Mass Appeal, adding another chapter to a year that continues to showcase his ability to move between different sounds and generations without losing his identity as an MC.
O’Kenneth’s presence also gives the record a strong connection to Ghana’s Asakaa movement. Known for his contribution to the Kumasi-rooted sound, the rapper brings the raw energy and contemporary edge associated with the new wave of Ghanaian Hip Hop.
Then there is wavypae, whose Chicago base adds another dimension to the collaboration. His hook helps tie the record together, providing the memorable centrepiece around which the verses from M.anifest and O’Kenneth unfold.
‘ON TEN’ ultimately works because the three artists are not trying to sound the same. Their contrasting styles become part of the song’s appeal, creating a meeting point between experience, the Asakaa generation and an emerging Ghanaian voice.
With its fast-paced production, multilingual verses and motivational core, ‘ON TEN’ is built for momentum. It captures the mentality of showing up, staying focused and executing without excuses, while putting three distinct voices from Ghana’s Hip Hop landscape on the same track.
