The 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) reached a fever pitch on Saturday, May 9, when Medikal’s smash song “Shoulder” was named the Best Hiplife Song of the Year. The event was marked by high-octane performances and historic victories.
The collaboration, which features the lyrical prowess of Medikal, the undeniable star power of Shatta Wale, and the breakout energy of Beeztrap KOTM, proved to be the ultimate fan favourite, cementing its status as the definitive hiplife anthem of the 2026/2027 calendar year.
The 27th edition’s Best Hiplife Song category, which featured a “who’s who” of Ghanaian rap and highlife aristocracy, was one of the most competitive.
“Shoulder” defeated “Tontonte” by Ko-jo Cue’s achievement to win the trophy. Kojo Blak and Sarkodie’s “Next Door,” AratheJay & Ofori Amponsah, and Sarkodie’s “Messiah.” Kwesi Amewuga’s “Badness” and Kweku Flick.
