Beeztrap KOTM (King of the Moment) is having the kind of year that reshapes reputations. Known offstage as Edwin Eshun, his name now moves across conversations that once overlooked his kind of sound; honest, uncompromising, and deliberate. Beeztrap KOTM is equally a prominent figure in the Asakaa Drill, where his tough lyrics, spiritual vibe, and street-coded narratives meet on equal terms.
Before the mainstream moments, there were cover songs; remakes of his favorites like “Obiaa Wone Master” by Yaa Pono and “Hero” by Stonebwoy. In an interview with Upper Entertainment, Beeztrap shared how one of those covers caught the attention of Kofi Friday, who saw his work through a friend’s post and believed in his potential. Kofi sponsored his next release and got it played on radio. That track was “Abrabɔ Yɛ Hard,” released in 2018. It marked his first time hearing himself on air—a big deal, especially when he was working off free MP3 downloads with no access to streaming. That one moment gave him a real reason to keep going.
By the time his 2023 EP Different Type Of Gangster dropped, it was clear this was more than raw potential. The project tackled loss, faith, and purpose without trading edge for empathy. It opened a portal into Beeztrap’s world; one where street trauma and inner healing coexist.
Then came the strategic run.
In 2024, “Fly Girl” featuring OseiKrom Sikani pushed his name into wider circles, smartly folding Afropop polish into his Asakaa core. Gyakie’s remix later added softness and scale, shifting its tone entirely. Each version served a purpose. “Boa Me (Remix)” featuring Stonebwoy opened new corridors. Other singles like “Yesu” and “Hope” stripped things back entirely, allowing room for spiritual weight and lyrical clarity.
Collaborations began piling. Sarkodie invited him on “Amen,” Jay Bahd brought him onto “Akatani,” and Tulenkey sharpened “Bad Feelings” with his feature. Camidoh’s “NLF Remix” brought in a different audience altogether. Across these appearances, Beeztrap adjusted his delivery while staying consistent in intent.
2025 arrived with two high-caliber releases. “Adult Tempo 128” was restrained, yet precise; a self-aware pivot into mature pace and message. It landed with those tuned into both rhythm and substance. “Bang Bang Bang,” produced by Kwame Agger and featuring Kwesi Arthur and Sarkodie, took the opposite approach: aggressive, charged, and built for impact.
Beeztrap KOTM is making significant strides in the Ghanaian music scene, earning multiple nominations at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA). His nominations include Best New Artiste, Best Hiplife/HipHop Artiste, and recognitions for tracks such as “Amen” with Sarkodie, “Fly Girl,” “Yesu,” and “Bad Feelings” .
In an interview with DJ Slim on Daybreak Hitz, Beeztrap expressed confidence about his chances of winning the best new artiste, stating, “Oh yeah, of course. If anyone else is going to win, unless by chance. Unless Beeztrap was not nominated” .
As expected, Beeztrap’s confidence proved well-placed, as he took home the coveted Best New Artiste award at the 26th Telecel Ghana Music Awards organised by Charterhouse on Saturday May 10, 2025; further solidifying his position as one of the most promising acts in Ghanaian music.
Those who caught his performance at the 2024 Made in Taadi Concert in Takoradi witnessed it in full form. Sharing the stage with Kofi Kinaata and others before a crowd of over 40,000, Beeztrap controlled the stage with the confidence of someone whose sound matches the scale of the moment.
Behind the scenes, something more melodic is in the works. A teased collaboration with Efya is already generating quiet anticipation: soul-driven, vocally ambitious, and emotionally organized. Whether it lands this quarter or next, we can be certain that the shift is being engineered carefully.
For those tuned in to what’s shaping Ghana’s sound right now, his catalog is worth a listen. The music is everywhere; just press play.
