M.anifest Rallies Fans As “FTYD” Music Video Featuring A-Reece Soars Past 100K Views In Two Days. Ghanaian rap luminary M.anifest is basking in the momentum of his latest visual release, the FTYD music video, which has officially surpassed 100,000 views within just two days of its debut.
The acclaimed rapper took to social media to thank fans and encourage them to push the visual further, writing, “FTYD music video. Thank you. Let’s take it to a milli.”
The song — an acronym for “From The Yard Down” — features South African lyricist A-Reece, whose appearance marks a powerful cross-continental collaboration between two of the most respected voices in African hip hop. The chemistry between M.anifest’s poetic sharpness and A-Reece’s razor-edged flow has not only electrified fans but also sparked conversations around the growing unity in African hip hop culture.
Directed with rich, cinematic flair, the FTYD music video is a visual extension of the song’s lyrical intensity. The track is lifted from M.anifest’s latest album, NEW ROAD AND GUAVA TREES, a project that has been lauded for its introspective themes, genre-bending soundscapes, and international guest features.
FTYD stands out not only as a fan favourite but also as a testament to M.anifest’s vision of crafting music that transcends borders while remaining rooted in identity. With over 100K views already locked in, M.anifest’s call to “take it to a milli” is more than a numbers game — it’s a celebration of artistic growth, continental unity, and the rising global influence of African hip hop.
