In the sun-soft glow of an Accra afternoon, the air hums with a familiar rhythm: tro-tros weaving through traffic, vendors calling out “pure water!”, and somewhere in the mix, a new kind of calm. It’s not the restless beat of another club banger or the ache of a heartbreak anthem.
No, this one flows smoother like the breeze off Labadi Beach at sunset. That sound, that mood, is “No Issues”, the brand-new collaboration between Lasmid and King Promise, and it might just be the soundtrack Ghana didn’t know it needed.
Released on November 7, 2025, “No Issues” is a masterclass in restraint; a mellow yet magnetic Afrobeats record that invites you to breathe, sway, and smile. It’s the audio equivalent of rolling your shoulders after a long day and realizing, for once, there’s nothing to stress about. And in a year when everything seems to be happening all at once, that’s no small gift.
The Sound of Ease
The record opens not with a bang, but a breeze. A soft keyboard progression, gentle percussion, and a bassline that moves with unhurried purpose. It’s the kind of groove that doesn’t chase the dance floor — it owns it quietly. The production, warm and unflashy, creates space for two of Ghana’s most distinctive voices to shine.
Lasmid, the Takoradi-born singer with an instinct for melody, steps in first. His delivery is crisp and self-assured, his phrasing steeped in Ghanaian rhythm — a reminder that highlife never really left; it just learned how to dance differently. Then King Promise glides in, his voice a velvet echo, smooth enough to butter your weekend plans. Together, they don’t compete. They complement. One brings the youthful bounce; the other, the grown-up calm. It’s yin and yang, Ghana style.
The chemistry is effortless, and that’s what makes “No Issues”stand out. It doesn’t try too hard. It’s confident enough to relax — and in doing so, it becomes irresistible.
Lyrics for the Unbothered
At its core, “No Issues” is a hymn for the unbothered. It’s about choosing peace over drama, ease over ego. In a music world addicted to emotional turbulence — where heartbreak, flexing, and confrontation often dominate the charts — Lasmid and King Promise deliver a gentle rebellion: what if everything is fine?
“King Promise and I wanted to create something that feels true to our sound and easy on the soul,” Lasmid explained in an interview on launch day. “‘No Issues’ is about keeping things simple, spreading positivity, and enjoying the moment.”
It’s deceptively simple, that message. But in 2025, when social media outrage is an Olympic sport and life itself feels like one long group chat argument, “No Issues” feels revolutionary. It’s not an escape from reality — it’s a reminder that serenity is a reality, if you let it be.
Two Artists, One Wave
To understand why this collaboration feels like a cultural event, you have to know the men behind the mic.
Lasmid, full name Ladsmid Nathaniel Owusu, first turned heads when he won MTN Hitmaker Season 8 back in 2019. Since then, he’s carved out a lane that’s distinctly his — equal parts singer, rapper, and vibe curator. From “Ghana Jollof” to “Friday Night”, his music radiates youthful energy without losing touch with its Ghanaian roots. He’s that guy who could jump on a drill beat, a highlife groove, or a pop hook — and somehow make it all sound like home.
And then there’s King Promise — the velvet-voiced ambassador of Ghana’s modern soul. After a clean sweep at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (snagging Artiste of the Yearand Album of the Year among others), he’s become the country’s benchmark for consistency and class. His style is unmistakable: global yet grounded, sleek yet sentimental. When he sings, you don’t just listen — you feel understood.
Put them together, and “No Issues” starts to feel inevitable. It’s not just a duet; it’s a dialogue between generations of Ghanaian sound. One is ascending, one is solidified — both are evolving. In a scene that sometimes pits the “new wave” against the “established acts,” “No Issues” is proof that coexistence can be melodic.
Why It Works
There’s a particular magic when two voices find their center in one song, and this track nails it.
• Radio-ready, but not hollow. It’s catchy, yes, but not disposable. You hum along because you mean it.
• Balanced energy. Lasmid brings the spark; King Promise brings the flame. Neither overshadows the other.
• Rooted yet universal. The song feels Ghanaian at its heart — the phrasing, the rhythm, the warmth — yet it slides effortlessly into international playlists.
• Mood-perfect. Whether you’re stuck in Accra’s evening traffic or sipping palm wine by the coast, it fits. It’s less a song, more a setting.
And perhaps most importantly, “No Issues” understands its own purpose. It doesn’t chase the next TikTok trend or force a viral dance. It just exists beautifully, which, ironically, might make it viral anyway.
In the Context of Ghana’s Soundscape
Ghana’s current soundscape is a dynamic mix of old and new — a musical Accra street where highlife guitars brush shoulders with amapiano synths, and drill beats roar next to coastal harmonies. Amid that lively chaos, “No Issues” stands like a palm tree: steady, grounded, unhurried.
At a time when the charts are stacked with adrenaline and heartbreak, this song whispers, “Take a breath.” It’s an invitation to feel joy without explanation — a sentiment that feels quietly radical.
If there’s one critique to make, it’s that the song doesn’t reinvent the wheel. But maybe it doesn’t need to. Not every anthem has to arrive with fireworks; sometimes, all it takes is sunlight and a soft beat. As one listener commented online, “This song doesn’t slap — it smiles.” And truly, that’s the perfect review.
The Bigger Picture
For Lasmid, “No Issues” represents evolution. After the viral success of “Friday Night” and “Puul”, this track shows a deeper, more refined artist — one who knows when to flex and when to flow. For King Promise, it’s reaffirmation. He doesn’t need to prove his dominance; he simply shows why it’s unquestioned.
Together, they’ve created something deceptively simple: a song that feels like a deep exhale. And in a post-pandemic, post-hustle world, that’s exactly what audiences are craving — ease, connection, sincerity.
Final Thoughts: The Calm After the Sound
When you play “No Issues”, don’t expect fireworks. Expect glow. Expect groove. Expect to forget your inbox for three minutes and twenty-two seconds. It’s music that doesn’t chase the world — it invites the world to slow down with it.
And maybe that’s the point. In a music scene constantly speeding toward the next big hit, “No Issues” reminds us that peace can be powerful, and serenity can sell. It’s a song for the unbothered, the balanced, the ones who know that sometimes the loudest statement is silence sung smoothly.
So the next time you’re cruising down the Spintex Road, or waiting out the Accra rain with a drink in hand, cue up “No Issues.” Feel the bass breathe. Feel the calm settle. Feel, just for a moment, that everything’s exactly as it should be.
Because right now, in Ghana’s ever-buzzing music scene, there truly are no issues.
