Indulge your senses in the spellbinding soundscape of "24 Hours," a mesmerizing creation by the prodigious artist Mike Osei, whose origins trace back to the vibrant landscapes of South Ghana and the bustling streets of The Bronx. Collaborating with visionary minds Mac Kay and Linicoln in the heart of Harlem, NY, Osei crafted this auditory marvel during the spring of 2023. Originally slated for a later album release, fate had other plans when an acoustic performance video of the track spread like wildfire across Instagram Reels and TikTok, amassing a staggering 30,000 views in just two days. Enchanted by the overwhelming response, Osei's artistic instincts took flight, prompting an immediate recording of the song to share with the world.

This opus represents a daring sound experiment for Osei, blending the soothing cadences of neo-soul with the refined artistry of hip-hop songwriting. His vocal finesse harmonizes singing and rapping seamlessly, crafting an extraordinary groove that transcends musical boundaries. Each note serves as a brushstroke on the canvas of emotion, painting a vivid picture of moonlit enchantment and the splendor of life's passionate jubilations. "24 Hours" reflects Osei's audacious pursuit of sonic brilliance, elevating him to the echelons of musical virtuosos who reimagine genres with their soulful creativity.
