Western Sydney’s Kwame is heading for the clouds this week. Following his win as triple j Unearthed artist of the year on Friday, his new single ‘CLOUDS.’ will receive its global premiere on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music Beats 1 show from 4am tomorrow AEST, before its worldwide release on Wednesday 28 November.
On Tuesday, Kwame will perform alongside KAIIT and The Kid Laroi as part of an exclusive Beats by Dre and Apple Music hip-hop showcase. All this before flexing on the ARIA red carpet on Wednesday.
‘CLOUDS.’ sees the Western Sydney producer, writer, rapper and engineer deliver witty lyricism about the self realisation of worth and purpose. He explains, “As humans we’re not being taught about this, some find it narcissistic. I find that believing and loving yourself is so important, especially living in a world where you can be easily shut down and broken.”
Kwame’s success has appeared to be limitless in 2018 and the release of ‘CLOUDS.’ propels his momentum even further. Singles ‘WOW’ and ‘NO TIME’ from his Endless Conversations EP, have now clocked over 4 million streams between them – both receiving triple j rotation. Earning a triple j Unearthed feature artist spot Kwame took out the coveted triple j Splendour in the Grass competition, jumped on stage at triple j’s One Night Stand and played three knock-out showcases at BIGSOUND. Also boasting a huge CV of supports for heavyweights Skepta, Migos, 6LACK and AJ Tracey, plus tours with Peking Duk and Tkay Maidza; he’s currently midway through a huge run of summer festivals across the country and will appear at two upcoming shows with Vera Blue.
‘CLOUDS.’ is out everywhere on Wednesday 28 November with more Kwame announcements to come this week. It’s Kwame season.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
