They say when life hands you a lemon, you make lemonade and Ghanaian rapper Medikal is living up to this adage.

Born Samuel Frimpong and popularly known as Medikal, he was detained and incarcerated for five days for having a Ruger 9mm Pistol and posting a video of it on Snapchat in 2021.

During his imprisonment, he found the inspiration to write a song which he has titled GHETTO PRAYER. According to reports, the song gives insight into Medikal's experiences behind bars. A visualizer to the song has been released on YouTube and has already amassed 36,000 views.

GHETTO PRAYER is one of the songs on his next album, PLANNING AND PLOTTING INTERLUDE.
