“Young & Matured” Set To Be An Artistic Evolution Of Yaw Tog’s Journey
Bursting onto the scene in 2020, Yaw Tog has been on a tear which has seen him drop consistent hit songs and features for audiences in Ghana, Africa and the the diaspora. This run has produced one of the most viral Ghanaian Drill anthems, “Sore,” which earned him a feature with multi-award-winning British artist Stormzy, and the BET-nominated Ghanaian artist Kwesi Arthur.
This year, Yaw Tog is poised to make more impact with his highly anticipated sophomore album, Young & Matured.

The music audience will be captivated by each track, diving into a riveting experience loaded with dynamic flows, hard-hitting lyrics and addictive melodies.
On this album, his pen bleeds with an unwavering purpose: to curb a narrative that has plagued him these past couple of years. It’s a narrative that stemmed from a question that everyone, including himself, seems to ask—is he as good as he was when he debuted in 2020? With this body of work, Yaw Tog aims not only to put all those stories and depositions to rest but also to clear all doubts in the minds of the listeners regarding his talent and growth as an artist.
Speaking on the sophomore album, Yaw Tog says, “This album is about my journey. Everything that has happened to me: the positives, the negatives, all the good, the bad and the ugly situations that I have experienced. These situations made me learn how to navigate the music industry and mature from those lessons. Everything you’ve heard about Yaw Tog from 2021; the pain, the joy, the disappointments, basically everything has made me grow not just as an artist but as a human as well.”
On Young & Matured, each track tells a unique tale as the next one; chronicling Yaw Tog’s maturation as an artist with a unique storytelling like no other. From the start of the album, listeners will be captivated with diverse tales of his journey showcasing profound personal growth.
