‘Sarkodie is GH music god’

For many music fanatics in Ghana, rapper Sarkodie, would go down as one of the best lyricists of all time but female blogger, Jullie Jay Kanz of hellogh.com, has stepped up a notch by describing him as a Ghanaian music god.

According to her, Sarkodie as a brand has been able to break boundaries by infiltrating the music boundaries across Africa and the rest of the world even though most of his lyrics is in the local dialect, Twi.

In an interview with Showbiz, the fast rising blogger added that, when it came to talent, versatility and good branding, the Oluwa Is Involved hit maker could not be overlooked.

“The guy is a pure genius capable of nailing all genres of music, he has been featured by highlife, gospel and even reggae musicians. I am not saying other musicians are not trying but Sarkodie has proven to be the best and most importantly, has managed to remain relevant,” she said.

She elaborated on how Sarkodie, real name Michael Owusu Addo has been able to infiltrate the Nigerian market with “his dignity intact.”

The Nigerian music market is widely known to be one  which is difficult to penetrate because of their large numbers and how they are known to support their own.

She explained how most Nigerian musicians do not readily feature Ghanaian acts in their songs but the opposite of musicians here in Ghana who always run to them(Nigerians) for collaborations.

“Sarkodie is widely respected in Nigeria. They come to him for collaborations and that should tell you about his ingenuity. Almost every big act in Nigeria has worked with him—Wizkid, Ice Prince, Banky W, Dbanj, Davido, you name it,” the young C.E.O of hellogh.com added.
