Khalif Da Cypha Set to Release Thorns N Roses — A New Era for Port Harcourt Music

Port Harcourt’s Own Khalif Da Cypha Announces New Album “Thorns N Roses” – Out 11/11/2025

The Port Harcourt music scene is about to receive another powerful wave as Khalif Da Cypha, one of the city’s most consistent and respected voices, officially announces his forthcoming album titled “Thorns N Roses”, set for release on November 11, 2025.

A true Port Harcourt-bred artist, Khalif Da Cypha has remained a cultural pillar in the city’s evolving Afrobeat and Hip-Hop landscape. Known for blending raw street narratives, soulful messages, and genre-fluid sound, he continues to push creative boundaries while representing the city with pride.

A Fusion of Sounds and Stories

Thorns N Roses is a genre-crossing body of work that merges Afrobeat rhythms, Hip-Hop lyricism, and Reggae spirituality–a sound synonymous with the Port Harcourt music identity: real, rooted, and fearless.

Highlighted tracks include:

“Shake Body” – A dancefloor-ready Afrobeat anthem sure to take over clubs from PH to Lagos and beyond.

“Rap N Fire” – Bars, punchlines, and lyrical intensity – a nod to Port Harcourt’s strong rap heritage.

“Give Thanks” – A soulful reggae track that reflects gratitude through struggle and success.

The album captures the duality of life – the thorns that represent pain, and the roses that symbolize growth, beauty, and triumph.

Carrying the Port Harcourt Flame

Khalif Da Cypha stands among the artists shaping the new sound wave of “Port Harcourt to the World.”

From the streets of Garrison to clubs in GRA and stages across the South, his music reflects the energy, pride, and resilience of the city.

This album is not just music – it’s a testimony of survival, hustle, and elevation.
