Pain, Rage And Freedom – Yaw Tog Announces His First Independent Project

Written by Christabel Newman

Ghanaian rapper Yaw Tog has officially hinted for the first time about his upcoming EP titled TOGCITY, marking the start of a bold new era in his career. The revelation came during his Big Conversation interview on the Culture Daily morning show where the young star opens up about life after leaving Empire, his creative growth and his next big move.

Set for release on October 17, TOGCITY features seven tracks including collaborations with Stonebwoy on MIRACLE and DarkoVibes on CITY BOY. Other titles include EMPTY SEATS, SCARY MONEY, SIKA NE MMA and WONKO MENKO, with four music videos already completed ahead of the rollout.

Yaw Tog described the project as “not just a place, but a state of mind built with pain, anger, rage, disappointment and a whole lot.” He emphasized that TOG CITY is deeply personal and represents a defining point in his evolution as both an artiste and an independent brand.

Having parted ways with Empire, Yaw Tog revealed that going independent has been a challenge but one that gives him freedom and ownership.

“It’s a crazy journey. You have to raise everything by yourself capital, budget, everything. But I like to be in control.”, he divulged.

To strengthen his new direction, he announced a fresh executive partnership with One RPM and executive producer C. Panta, who is based in Germany. The duo is spearheading his creative and strategic rollout.

He also credited Stonebwoy as a major inspiration for his new mindset:

“You see the work that Stone is doing, that’s the part I see myself. It’s not easy to be doing live performances and traveling out to connect with the fanbase outside. These things motivate me to also go out there with my brand.”

With TOGCITY, Yaw Tog is positioning himself as more than just the breakout kid from SORE. He has evolved into an independent powerhouse, taking charge of his narrative, sound and future.
