This 13-track project is an exhilarating blend of genres, lyrical depth, and masterful production, cementing his place as one of Ghana’s most versatile and exciting artistes.  

From start to finish, GTST traverses a rich tapestry of Hiplife, Reggae, Afrobeat, Rap, and Gospel, offering something for everyone. It opens with the soothing “Mmaa No,” a DJ Breezy-produced love letter to women that sets the tone for the album’s emotional and sonic range.  

Following this, “Promise” shifts to highlife-infused vibes, embodying themes of love and devotion with smooth grooves and captivating rhythms. King Paluta's storytelling prowess shines as he crafts relatable narratives for listeners from all walks of life.

Standout tracks  

“Makoma,” a certified hit, has already shattered streaming records in 2024, proving its massive appeal among Ghanaian music lovers. The eighth track, “Time,” is a deeply personal Hiplife anthem where King Paluta reflects on his musical journey with poetic precision and emotional resonance.  

Midway through the album, party anthems like “For the Popping,” “Magic,” and “Ahiaa” inject high-energy vibes, showcasing Paluta’s ability to create infectious, dancefloor-ready hits.  

The album concludes on a spiritual note with the Gospel-infused tracks “Upon My Sins” and “Aseda.” These songs are both heartfelt and uplifting, with “Aseda” emerging as the most-streamed Ghanaian song of 2024. Through these tracks, Paluta praises God for His blessings, providing a fitting and soulful close to the album.
