Ghana is no stranger to birthing sonic innovators, and Zotto is a name rising through the ranks with a commanding brilliance. A versatile artist known for fusing introspective storytelling with genre-bending soundscapes, Zotto recently made waves with CIRCLES EP, his collaborative project with producer DJ Fortune. Now, he’s back with “Target”, a single that places his lyrical precision and musical sensitivity firmly in the spotlight.
Joining him once again is Questo, a longtime creative partner whose voice feels like the spiritual glue in many of Zotto’s best moments. Together, they deliver a track that’s more than just music; “Target” is a mantra, a declaration, a victory lap in slow motion.
From the very first beat, “Target” draws you in with a classic and forward-thinking groove. Rooted in Ghanaian hip hop, soul, “Target” carries the rhythmic sway of highlife, the emotional depth of soul, and the lyrical dexterity of hip hop—all filtered through a contemporary lens. The bassline walks with purpose, radiating confidence with every step, while warm horn stabs and textured harmonies elevate the mix with richness and intent. There’s a sense of royalty to the production—polished, but never sterile.
Zotto’s vocal performance is striking. He doesn’t overreach or overdo—instead, he delivers his message with quiet power, allowing sincerity and presence to lead the way. His tone is grounded, yet there’s an unmistakable lift in his cadence, especially when he slides into lines of self-assurance and affirmation. Each word feels like it’s been weighed, chosen, and spoken with clarity.
Questo’s hook? Irresistible. There’s a honeyed ease in the way he wraps his vocals around the beat, floating, not forcing. His delivery brings a reflective calm to the track, the kind of balance that anchors Zotto’s verses with subtle brilliance. It’s a collaboration that feels lived-in, a musical shorthand born of creative trust.
Lyrically, “Target” is about aiming high and believing without flinching. It’s motivational, yes, but not in a surface-level way. It acknowledges the grit behind the glow, the process behind the progress. Zotto doesn’t scream his triumphs—he states them like truth, backed by lived experience and a steady gaze. There’s an elegance to his confidence that makes the song feel personal, even when it’s speaking to the masses.
“Target” is more than a comeback—it’s a statement of intent from an artist who knows exactly where he’s going. Zotto is not just creating music; he’s crafting affirmations dressed in soul and spirit, rooted in Ghana’s ever-evolving sonic tapestry. With Questo by his side, he reminds us that every step taken with clarity is a step toward destiny. If you’re not watching Zotto yet, now is the time. He’s aiming high—and from the sound of “Target”, he’s already hit the bullseye.
