Promotion and release

edit

Amerado announced G.I.N.A during a heated rap beef with fellow rapper Lyrical Joe. The announcement came as a surprise to music lovers as they were expecting a fifth diss song from Amerado.[7]

Before the release of the album, a video involving former English football player Shaun Wright-Phillips endorsing the project surfaced.[8]

Amerado partnered with music streaming platform Audiomack in their Premiere Access service to make four songs ‘Nyame Dada ft Fameye’, ‘No Stress ft S1mba’, ‘Pay Me’ and ‘Black Change ft Gidochi’ available for supporters from 20th October 2022 until the album dropped fully.[9]
