Ghanaian hip-hop and highlife innovator Joey B (real name Darryl Paa Kwesi Bannerman-Martin, also known as Beezy) has dropped a sharp new freestyle for the popular Chinatown Sound series. Shared via Instagram reel by @chinatown.sound and tagging @1realjoeyb, the clip quickly gained traction with fans praising the bars, aura, and confidence.
The freestyle opens with (and centers on) the confident declaration:
“Captain of my ship, don’t you ask me who is sailing it.”
“Captain of my ship, don’t you ask me who is sailing it.”
Fans in the comments called it pure swag, with reactions like “The G.O.A.T,” “Bars Baba,” and “Too much swag and aura.” One memorable line floating in comments references a wavy, faith-infused vibe: “Jesus took the wheel so I’d rather do the wavy sh*t.” The full freestyle is available on the Chinatown Sound YouTube channel.
Chinatown Sound is known for raw, high-quality freestyles, interviews, and cyphers featuring established and rising hip-hop talent. Joey B’s appearance fits perfectly into that tradition while bringing his signature Ghanaian flavor and effortless cool.
Joey B has long stood out in Ghanaian music for blending hip-hop with highlife, soul, and alternative sounds. After the release of his 2026 album Sexy Highlife, a project that reimagined highlife through modern, sensual, and diasporic lenses (drawing from sexy drill, zouk, and kompa influences) this freestyle feels like a return to pure lyricism and street-level energy.
It reinforces his reputation as an artist who moves on his own terms: fashion-forward, experimental, and unapologetically in control of his creative direction. The timing (mid-to-late October 2026) keeps momentum going after recent music videos and releases such as tracks tied to Sexy Highlife and collaborations.
Stream Joey B’s recent catalog (including Sexy Highlife, “Princess,” “Akorfa,” and classics like “Tonga”) on major platforms to support the artist.
Joey B continues to prove why he remains one of Ghana’s most distinctive and enduring voices. Whether he’s reworking highlife or delivering hard-hitting freestyles, he stays firmly in the captain’s seat.
