Edem Levels Up on “Higher” With KiDi

Edem links up with KiDi on “Higher” and the result is an uplifting Afrobeats record built for motivation and movement. After years of repping the Volta Region and blending Ewe, Pidgin, and English in his delivery, Edem uses this track to push a message of growth, ambition, and not settling.

The beat is polished and bouncy, with bright percussion, melodic synths, and a groove that gives both artists room to ride. Edem comes in with a confident verse, mixing reflective bars about the journey with the swagger that’s made him a mainstay in Ghanaian music since the early 2000s. He’s not preaching—he’s speaking from experience, and it lands because it feels earned.

KiDi handles the hook and a verse with his signature smooth vocals, turning the chorus into the track’s centerpiece. “Higher” becomes the kind of line you remember after one listen, and his melody work gives the song crossover appeal without losing its Ghanaian identity.

What works here is the balance. Edem brings the grit and veteran presence, KiDi brings the melodic polish, and the production ties it together so it feels both street and mainstream. It’s the type of record that fits on a playlist next to Afrobeats heavyweights but still carries Edem’s distinct voice and perspective.

If you want a track that motivates without sounding preachy, “Higher” hits that mark.
