Ahmed Froko professionally known as Nxwrth (Pronounced North) is a Ghanaian record producer, musician and DJ. He is one of the youngest producers on the Ghanaian music scene and is a member of trap music collective “La Meme Gang”
Early Life and career
Nxwrth hails from Wa in the Upper West Region of Ghana. He was born in Cape Coast and grew up in the city of Accra where he started producing and mastered the art of combining bass, drum machines and synths into hip hop, trap and afro-pop sounds at age 16. In an interview with Unorthodox Reviews, Nxwrth stated that his earliest memories of Beat making were in Junior High School.
It started with me drumming on tabletops to taking samples of endings of people’s beats to make my own.
In 2016, Nxwrth took part in a beat battled organized by Accra Dot Alt Radio and was adjudged the winner of the competition. He has also produced songs for most of the collective’s group and solo releases over the past 3 years which earned them 4 nominations at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. Other major works of his include production on Ghanaian rapper Joey B’s Darryl EP and also instrumental on Kwesi Arthur’s “Pray For Me” single in 2019.
Nxwrth acknowledged the influences of a number of trap artists including Travis Scott, Wongadurl and Mike Dean in his work. In an interview for the website Ghana Music he said his music was inspired by ‘space’ and the ‘extraterrestrial’.
Alongside other members Kiddblack, RJZ, $pacely and Kwaku BS, Nxwrth was featured in a Boiler Room documentary on Youtube which highlighted the rich history of Ghanaian culture and described them as being unafraid of expressing themselves through their music.
