Kobby Jumbo

Born and raised in Accra, Ghana, Kobby Jumbo is a rising force in the new wave of Ghanaian music—effortlessly blending the raw lyricism of hip hop and hiplife with the infectious bounce of Afrobeats and Afro-pop. A naturally gifted storyteller and versatile performer, Kobby’s sound reflects the urban pulse of Accra’s streets, while his delivery calls to mind the sharp cadence of Ghanaian icon Sarkodie.
Kobby’s journey took a pivotal turn when he was discovered during an Africology shoot in Accra. With DJ Sirak and Derek 32Zero producing on-site, the young MC stepped up and delivered a standout freestyle that turned heads and opened doors. His magnetic presence and lyrical fire made him the perfect artist to bless the mic—cementing his spot as one to watch.
His official Africology debut came during the Accra Boxing Club campaign—what started as a fashion shoot evolved into a full-blown music video, with Kobby’s verses providing the narrative thread. It wasn’t just a performance; it was a cultural statement, merging music, fashion, and Ghana’s rich boxing heritage.
Now part of a growing creative movement redefining Ghana’s sound, Kobby Jumbo represents the next generation of pan-African music—grounded in hip hop, inspired by Afrobeats, and driven by purpose. With new releases in the works and momentum building, he’s poised to leave a lasting imprint on the continent and beyond.
