Dopeman - Love Ghost (HipHop) Love Ghost delivers a thumping afrobeat inspired genre-blending banger with latest single, “Dopeman”, featuring guests Camidoh and DJ Switch Ghana. That afrobeat inspiration is overlaid on a hazy rock guitar that bleeds punk rock vibes, creating quite a melding of styles for a truly unique sound. Add on the repeated choral chant throughout, and you elevate to anthemic, then sprinkle in that flute line, and we get into world music. Most surprising is how well this concoction works to create something that just screams Top 40. From the alt punk sung vocals to the liquid flows of the rapper to the ethereal lilt of the female vocalist, “Dopeman” is a slam dunk collab that reminds of the multi-artist Timbaland tracks of the 00s/10s.
Best Lyric: “Sunlight overdosing, my spirit can’t be broken.”
