Abrantie Simms & Ess Thee Legend Find Their Rhythm on New Collaborative EP

A shared love for Highlife, authentic storytelling and years of creative friendships come together on Finding My Rhythm EP 1, the highly anticipated collaborative project from Abrantie Simms and Ess Thee Legend.
Now available on all major streaming platforms, Finding My Rhythm EP 1 is more than a collection of songs—it is a reflection of growth, friendship and a new chapter for two artists whose journeys have converged at the perfect moment.
Built around themes of love, resilience, purpose and community, the EP blends the timeless spirit of Highlife with contemporary Ghanaian sounds, creating a project that feels both familiar and
refreshingly modern.
Leading the project are the previously released singles Adwuma Wura and Kanea, each introducing listeners to different sides of the EP’s story. While Adwuma Wura celebrates purpose and ambition, Kanea explores the power of friendship, love and the relationships that shape who we become.

At the heart of Finding My Rhythm EP 1 is the belief that finding your rhythm is about more than discovering your sound—it’s about discovering the people who help bring that sound to life.
The EP features contributions from some of Ghana’s exciting contemporary voices, including Rie Osei, Marince Omario and $pacely, further reinforcing the collaborative spirit that defines the project. Their inclusion was a natural extension of the relationships at the heart of Finding My Rhythm. Rie Osei brings a soulful warmth and lyrical sincerity that complements the project’s themes of love and self-discovery, while Marince Omario adds a rich melodic sensibility and storytelling approach rooted in contemporary Ghanaian music.

$pacely’s effortless charisma, versatility and deep creative bond with Abrantie inject an infectious energy that broadens the EP’s sonic palette. Together, the three artists represent different expressions of a shared musical community, making their contributions feel less like guest appearances and more like chapters in the same story. Their chemistry with Abrantie Simms and Ess Thee Legend reflects the project’s central belief that meaningful music is built through genuine friendships, mutual respect and a collective commitment to pushing Highlife forward.

Behind the scenes, Finding My Rhythm EP 1 is the culmination of a creative process that brought together artists, producers and friends united by a shared vision of celebrating Ghanaian music while pushing Highlife into new spaces.

The release also marks the beginning of an extended campaign that includes exclusive television premieres, artist features, editorial storytelling and live experiences celebrating the people and culture behind the music.

With Finding My Rhythm EP 1, Abrantie Simms and Ess Thee Legend invite audiences to experience not only a body of work, but a movement rooted in collaboration, culture and the enduring spirit of Highlife.

Finding My Rhythm EP 1 is now available on all major digital streaming platforms worldwide.
