‘This soundtrack is a love letter to Africa and I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa, and not just use some of the sounds and did my interpretation of it,’ Beyonce had told ABC News when quizzed on why she decided to ‘infiltrate’ Africa to scout for top African stars for her huge project.

The album which features some well-known artistes like Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, and her husband Jay-Z which was released on Friday (July 19), seamlessly blends afrobeat, rap, R&B and pop in what the superstar calls her “love letter to Africa.”

The Gift also features some of Africa’s biggest artists, including Nigeria’s Wizkid, Tiwa Savage and Burna Boy, and a host of others. Beyond the euphoria Shatta Wale’s fans and admittedly all Ghanaians are currently basking in this very minute, let’s take a look at some of the talking points of this project that most people haven’t noticed yet.

1. Shatta Wale displayed the Ghana flag

Shatta Wale, as patriotic as he is, displayed the Ghana flag in the video which has been hailed by a lot of entertainment enthusiasts. It shows how he wants to project the image of Ghana through this great and rare opportunity he had with the multiple award-winning American artistes.
