Ata Kak Returns With New Single “Batakari” After 31 Years

For thirty-one years, Ata Kak devotees have cherished just one album. That singular, magnificent work was enough—Obaa Sima bursts with such creative fervor that we gladly accepted its solitary existence.

Then 2025 arrived, musically speaking. What a year it’s been!

Last month brought us "Yasi Town," revealing an unexpectedly melodic, structured dimension of his artistry. Honestly? We weren’t prepared for that shift.

Now there’s another track. This second single doubles as the title piece for November’s upcoming album release.

"Batakari" takes its name from traditional West African clothing. Much like the garment itself, this song weaves together Ghanaian hip-hop, funk, and that timeless effortlessness that defines Ata Kak’s sound.

Five minutes of pure magic unfold here. The track flows through Twi rap sections, call-and-response exchanges, plus background vocals that create harmonic layers—a beautiful sonic melting pot crafted in ways that feel completely unique and impossible to replicate.
