Every year on June 6, Ghanaian producer Mike Kwa6i gives his fans a gift instead of receiving one. This year, that gift is Sonic Montage, a four-track cinematic EP that imagines what his favorite blockbusters would sound like if he scored their closing moments.
Born Michael Kwasi Marfo Tenkorang on June 6, 1993 in Accra, Ghana, Mike Kwa6i built his name in the Ghanaian hip-hop ecosystem producing for the likes of M.anifest, E.L, Jayso, and Dex Kwasi. He started under the alias Yung Fly, picked up his first placement in 2013, and hasn’t stopped since. But Sonic Montage signals something different, a producer stepping away from the vocal track and letting the beat carry the whole music.
“Imagine music that perfectly captures the essence of your favorite films, serving as the ideal soundtrack for their unforgettable end credits.”
That’s the premise in his own words, and it’s an ambitious one. End credits music occupies a peculiar emotional space, it arrives when the story is over but the feeling isn’t, when the audience still needs somewhere to put what they just experienced. Getting that right requires restraint, atmosphere, and a clear sense of tone.

The film selection alone tells you a lot. Two Denis Villeneuve titles: Dune and Blade Runner 2049, point toward grand, slow-burning scale and Hans Zimmer-adjacent atmosphere. Blade brings a harder, darker edge: late-90s grit, vampires, action. And The Harder They Fall , Jeymes Samuel’s 2021 revisionist Western with a loaded soundtrack, rounds things out with a full-spectrum approach to genre.
What ties them together is a sensibility: these are all films where the visual language and the sonic language are inseparable. Choosing them as reference points is itself a statement about the kind of producer Mike Kwa6i wants to be known as, not just functional, but cinematic.
This isn’t the first time he’s done this. The birthday drop dates back at least to 2021, when he released a sample pack called Chop Better, free tools handed directly to fellow producers and artists on his own day of celebration. The gesture said something about his relationship to craft: generous, community-minded, and consistent. Sonic Montage continues that, but with sharper artistic ambition.
The project is streaming exclusively on EVEN through June 13th, after which it arrives on all platforms. Four tracks, just Mike Kwa6i, the films he loves, and Guitars from Knii Lant3i on tracks 1, 2 and 4.
For a producer who’s spent his career in service of other artists’ visions, Sonic Montage is Mike Kwa6i staking his own. No rapper needed. Just four films, four moods, and one birthday.
