As humanity works overtime to scrub off the scent of pandemic era which rampaged the entertainment industry and threatened a devastating resurgence, we’ve all witnessed a boom in outdoor activities globally and in Sierra Leone.

Entertainers and musicians are not left out of this and have doubled down to create soundtracks to support the wave and thanks to this, we’ve had a sonically hotter year, with the airwaves taken captive by banger tracks after banger tracks.

Last year 2021, Sierraloaded started the Hottest Artiste List, an undiluted run down of the Artistes that shaped, defined and led music among Sierra Leonean consumers throughout the year.

This list underscores the entertainers who scored the biggest hits, tours, mega moves on the local and international scene, the award winners, and in general, the people we’ve listened and danced to for the past 12 months

Be sure you are following Sierraloaded on all social media platforms so as not to miss out on this list.

Speedo’o  – #15

2022 is undoubtedly the year for Speedo’o having successfully sang his way to this list as the new school rap sensation in Sierra Leone.

Without an iota of doubt, it is evidently true that that Speedo’o has earned his name among one of the fastest rising rappers in West Africa today and he’s on the way to making sure that his name is synonymous with African hip hop.

The Rap sensation has over the years blessed us with songs like “Krase” featuring Vida, “Clever” assisted by Drizilik, “Warning” featuring T-Bass and He’s obviously not resting on his oars yet. In 2022, He has released “Mine” featuring Vinc On The Beat, “Hallelujah” Featuring Katapilla, not forgetting “Yu Wase”.

 

In September, Speedo’o released “Joker Freestyle” where He declared himself the best rapper in Africa currently but his delivery and punchlines is for other rappers to decide on the mic. The song received an instant reply from Arka Man who accused him of challenging Kao Denero’s status.

Like this is not enough, Speedo’o was recently spotted in Kenya collaborating with Khaligraph Jones, Kenya’s finest rapper. Although the song is yet to be released, it is expected to cause some frenzy among Hip Hop Lovers in Sierra Leone and Liberia.

 

A few more classic hits will surely give Speedo’o a blistering rise in the 2023 list. But until then, He sits as the 15th Hottest Artiste in Sierra Leone 2022! (morganstern.com)
