Ghanaian Afrobeats star Gregory Newman aka King Promise has spoken on his biggest song, Terminator.
He said it was such a blessing to have a record known all over the globe.
“I love to contribute to my culture—the goal has always been global domination through our music as Africans. The fact now the world is catching on—even though they are late but they are welcome to the party—I’m blessed, not just as a Ghanaian, but as an African in general. It’s so beautiful to see the world latching on to what we’re doing, love it and appreciate it,” he said.
Continuing, King Promise said: “When Terminator dropped, it was another level of what I’m doing, for me. It was such a blessing to have a record known all over the globe,it’s just so beautiful. After that it’s just been back-to-back with Paris, Perfect Combi, Favourite Story and finally the album, so I’ve been super proud of this whole movement right now.”
The singer-songwriter also opened up about his song, Continental, which features Shallipopi.
“It was one of the very last songs I made on the album. My friend GuiltyBeatz produced it. I hadn’t seen him in almost a year because he’s been travelling the world—I know he just finished an album with Tems—but finally, he came bearing gifts, like “Bro, I have something for you.”

I was just waiting to see you, when I made this one I knew it was yours.” Then he plays the “Continental” beat and I’m like: “What the hell is this?” It was just a match made in heaven. It was so perfect.
When I got through those first lines I was like yes, this is truly ‘True To Self,’ and I just took it from there.
“Eventually, I talked to my manager that Shallipopi will sound good and it will bring out another side of him. He heard it and was crazy about it, and I’m happy for what we’ve put together.”
He came to Ghana, we shot the video and everything’s beautiful.”
