R.O.Z

About

The artist

R.O.Z is the professional name of Ghanaian Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, and independent label owner Ross Nyantakyi. The current EMB Music Group artist page identifies him as a Ghanaian Canadian hip-hop and Afrobeats artist and owner of the Canadian independent label EMB. The current EMB home page independently describes him as an artist out of Toronto, Canada with roots in Ghana, while a current professional interview traces his musical development through Toronto. Together, these active sources establish Toronto, Ontario, Canada as his public professional base. R.O.Z began in Toronto hip-hop and expanded his writing and performance through Afrobeats, R&B, melody, and Ghanaian diasporic influences. His current professional profile documents performances with Davido, Nas, J. Cole, Big Sean, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Pusha T, Fabolous, and other artists, plus touring in Canada, the United States, Europe, Africa, and China. The exact Spotify artist 74et92L0f8jI3J5BNSufHQ contains fourteen artist-led or co-led album and single containers in Canada from September 21, 2007 through July 3, 2026. MusicList normalizes the two-track provider single Epilogue as an EP, leaving three albums, one EP, and ten other singles. Representative releases include Piff Music 2, When the Smoke Clears, Z International, Talking To Me with Quamina MP, Electric with Joe Gez, and B.I.T.C with 2Epik. Apple Music independently matches the exact artist and presents the three albums in the current Spotify response plus the earlier Piff Music album. MusicList does not merge that additional Apple container into the Spotify total. Current EMB material documents a 2022 partnership with Sony Music West Africa, the 2025 Global Sound Award in Afrobeats at the PB Awards, and a 2025 Ontario Arts Council Chalmers Arts Fellowship announced in 2026. The award and fellowship are recorded as separate achievements. R.O.Z is credited publicly as rapper, singer, songwriter, performer, and label owner; MusicList does not infer a record-production role.
