Eight years after his breakout album Disturbation cemented his arrival, Ghanaian rap titan Medikal returns with a powerful sequel, Disturbation 2. Released on October 10, 2025, this 18-track project is not just a follow-up; it's a statement. In a “selfish year” dedicated to his craft, Medikal asserts his longevity, versatility, and unshakeable position at the apex of Ghanaian hip-hop.

The story behind the music

Throughout Disturbation 2, Medikal weaves a narrative that is both introspective and assertive. The album traces his journey from a young, hungry artist to an untouchable veteran in the music industry. The project tells the story of:

The unbothered titan: Medikal addresses and dismisses his critics on "Thoughts," detailing his rise above the noise and reaffirming his focus on his success.
The reflective artist: Beyond the braggadocio, Medikal shows vulnerability and maturity. On "Why" and "Rainy Days," he reflects on personal failures and critiques the socio-political landscape of Ghana, offering a more somber and introspective side to his artistry.
The celebration of self: In a bold display of self-confidence, Medikal celebrates his status in the pantheon of Ghanaian greats, alongside figures like Kofi Annan and Kwame Nkrumah.
