In a historic feat for Northern Ghanaian music, “Empty Grave” by Dr. Pushkin and B-Wayne has become the most streamed music video from Northern Ghana on YouTube, amassing nearly 1.6 million views in just 7 months.
The video, shot by acclaimed director Timtooni and his team at the iconic Red Clay Studio in Tamale, has officially surpassed Fancy Gadam and Sarkodie’s “Total Cheat”, a national hit released eight years ago.
What makes “Empty Grave”’s success even more remarkable is that it achieved this without a major Southern Ghanaian collaboration, mainstream media push, or industry endorsement.
Instead, the video gained traction purely through its authentic message, stunning cinematography, and community-driven support.
The track, a powerful piece of conscious music, stands out for its uncompromising artistic integrity and deep societal message. It has not only broken streaming records but also won multiple international awards, with more nominations lined up.
