Kwadwo Adu Genfi Amponsah (born 4 January 1993), known professionally as Kojey Radical, is a British music artist, creative director and mixed media visual artist. His style has been described as a mix of grime-y hip hop, alternative rap and spoken word. Since 2018, he has received six nominations at the MOBO Awards, including Best Newcomer. He also performed at the 2020 and 2022 MOBOs ceremonies.

Radical was raised in Shoreditch and Hoxton, London, the son of Ghanaian immigrants. He began as a spoken word poet and mixed media illustrator, graduating from London College of Fashion with a First Class Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Fashion Illustration.

In 2014, Radical released his first musical project Dear Daisy: Opium just after graduating. Media commentators stated Dear Daisy was Radical's first music project in which he touched on topics of love, social media and religion. It spawned from a book with the same name Radical was illustrating during his time at university. Radical linked up with UK artist and producer Jay Prince, who produced Radical's first official record, The Garden Party. Radical followed up with a record called "Bambu", which subsequently became the first single on his sophomore EP, 23Winters. Bambu made use of blackface, a persona Radical would later adopt in majority of his early visuals.
