A thread of songs Sarkodie had to risk his comfort zone to hop on. These are complex sounds that every rapper in his/her prime would avoid but OKODIE challenged himself & nailed it.
1. L'artiste ft. Sarkodie - Tu Mérites
Genre: Coupé Décalé (Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮)
Sark has been tweeting about the new type of slavery wayback in 2017. He just needed the perfect platform to send the message across and he waited for it and bam, he nailed it right there in their territory. Sarkodie's life has a pattern. Follow him and you would understand.
This song dey live rent free for my head inside. Every Waddle Sark collabo biaa be fire. Criss Waddle x Sarkodie x Mugeez.
Since Obidi nuh go drop any new song, make I soak the lost files like that.
This short scene is my favorite of all. See the way Sark shoot the watering can sef. Obidi, the way u kick the thing e check like Messi ein free kick no sum 😂. Charley
#Saara
is dope mehn. Luv it.
140 seconds video:
-Nigerians made "being Naija" cool before diasporan Nigerians joined the movement.
-Ghanaian media need to move together with the artists.
-Ghanaian plugs in the UK put Sark on BBC & Indigo.
-No Fugazy is now becoming a cool for Naija whiles Ghanaians overlook.
Sarkodie promises South African rapper Cassper Nyovest to be on his upcoming Album
#NoPressure
.
Cassper Nyovest: Did I make the album?
Sarkodie: must!
July 1st 2019, Sarkodie introduced me to Gyakie's music and I remained a fan till now. This receipt is needed before a fool later says Sarkodie is trying to tap into Gyakie's shine. Happy Easter y'all 😊
When we needed your numbers to tweet sense & make a case for Ghana music, you cldnt participate. You & your cohorts failed your followers aswear. Now you dey wan tap in into Amapiano convo with silly jokes. I think you shld sit down, follow & learn so that you make sound inputs.
Amapiano originates from the Twi phrase, 'Ama Piano.'
Ama means 'A Saturday born girl,' in the Twi language.
Amapiano translates into English as "A girl who plays piano in a special way."
The name was given to her by Aunty Dede her Grandmother 🇬🇭❤️
Ghanaians support Shatta Wale in his fight. If you won't support don't trash him. Mo pɛ sellout too much. We were at Rapperholic & everytime the DJ keyed Shatta City the crowd went craaaaaaazy. We all dey love the guy. We all dey love wona artists.
Sarkodie appreciation tweet.
- The only artiste to have won Artiste of the Year under MTN & Vodafone sponsorship.
- The only solo artiste to have won Artiste of the Year 2x.
- The only artiste to have won Song of the Year & Album of the Year 2x at the GMAs.
Obidi🙌🏾

artwork is very controversial but that's what arts is about. It must provoke a conversation. The one on the left is a woman. The title of the album is
#BlackLove
& in Africa, naturally women keep low cut & wear "beads". As a believer of arts, I love this more.
Sarkodie speaks on why he refused to be signed unto Zylofone Music. He believes the industry needs more attention than him alone. Enjoy 60 seconds of selflessness and industry conversations.
Before Sarkodie's name became a Twitter topic, it was categorized under music. Now it's clearly categorized under Hip-Hop. Note, he's the only Ghanaian musician who's recognized by Twitter's algorithm. He didn't have to fake his death or pull a gun for that feat.
One of Sarkodie's biggest songs that's not on any of his official streaming platforms.
Imagine Sarkodie's total streams on Boomplay, Spotify, Apple Music etc if this song was on it! Enjoy Life by Sarkodie ft. Obrafour on
#SarkodieLostFiles
Obidi ankasa I'm the first person who doesn't understand some of his things. He's very close to Wiz but dem nuh get song together. For like 10 years of friendship but still no collabo out. Sarkodie is the weirdest musician I know🤣
Sark has a pattern of lyrics he delivers on various genres. When he's doing Highlife he focuses on storyline, if it's Rap/Hip-Hop he brags & dares. When it's commercial music he sticks to funny, controversial, rhyme schemes. He's unmatched when it comes to gospel
#SarkRapLyrics
All artistes who signed under Sarkodie got the Twitter verification. They all flew to London for the first time to perform. They all achieved 1M views on YouTube individually. Tell me what your MCMs did for Artistes who passed through their labels before they sacked them.
Ghanaians shld learn to respect copyright. When Sark was sued by Mark Okraku Mante 4 remixing Kokoko ft. Akwaboah ppl got mad buh it made him take copyright srs so he paid 4 the "bra mi nkyɛn" line in his song ft Sista Afia "Broken Heart" b4 usin it. Mr. Drew will learn. We move.
Shatta Wale said sth important that must be taken srsly. 2 huge brands like himself & Sarkodie coming together to do a song must be sponsored by a corporate brand. A lot of companies in Ghana don't believe in the arts. Just sponsor a Shatta-Sark collabo & sit down watch numbers.
My colleagues at work call me "Sarkodie fan" 😂😂😂. Some have even stopped calling me by my name. I don't even do my Sarknative thins der buh asɛ Sark is written on my face 😂😂😂. Dem dey love
#Oofeets
ɔ pass. The song is damn big. Even Sark haters can't get over it.
Sark do diss song to other rappers & SM fans are worried. The irony be sey dema alumni king release 91 songs this yr no hit. He do online concert, dem nuh enjoy. Sark bring
#BehindDaHitz
. Dem enjoy. Sark drop
#SubZero
dem san join d convo. Low-key dem dey feel Sark pass😂.
Sarkodie has earned his 8th nomination in Song of the Year & 9th nomination in Artiste of the Year. He's won 2x in each category. That's the kind of records the VGMAs fancy associating Sark to their brand & swerving him to award young ones cus he's won saa. Tchewwwwwwwwww
Jupitar's
#TheOneAlbum
has an amazing tracklist which features 3 great S Sarkodie, Samini & Shatta Wale. It also has rappers Yaa Pono, Medikal & Tinny.
Man was silent for a while and was cooking this somptuous album for the fans. This is a Ghana ting. We should support 💪🏾
Sarknation shld understand that, it's not everything we must respond to. Let's practise the Sark lifestyle. Ignore hate comments and invest in the positive ones. I've pledged to write only positive stories in our industry because of Sark. Let's not hype any hater for free hype.
The artist who featured on Sarkodie's project just got 2.7M loyal Sarkodie fans. It's a good business for him. For me King Sark is the biggest artist in the world. No one works harder than him. His achievements as a Ghanaian is unmatched & I will repeat this anywhere any day.
#NoFugazy
video is a 5K cam quality video. The highest Ghanaian video quality if I'm not mistaken. Sarkodie had previously shot videos in 4K cam quality on

#RapperHolic2019
tickets faster than he thought, same way we get amazed he still got the energy to perform and spit fire on records after all these years. This year Rapperholic will be fireworks!!!
This article revealed:
1.Sarkodie is still GH No. 1 Artiste even without releasing songs.
2.Ghana Twitter fan base is audio.
3.Monthly listenership doesn't translate high streams.
4.Ghana's No. 1 music genre is Hip-Hop music.
5.Ghanaians don't stream Ghanaian artistes.
Sarkodie took home the "Best Virtual Showcase/Concert of The Year" with his BlackLove Concert ahead of the popular Reggae Sunfest at the IRAWMMA. Congrats are in order to King Sark for winning an international award at a Reggae/Dancehall dominated platform. Obidi ayɛ biom🙌🏾
Sarkodie has bn preaching abt consistency, confidence & belief in what one does as the definition of success. As a musician or brand, ur primary focus shld be your loyal consumers. Gradually they will recruit ppl to believe in ur product. I can't quantify wah dis man has tot me.
Don't hold back if you're dragging someone like Piano cus that dude nuh get pity. Upon all the love, sympathy Beno show your man. That forking boy break the bro code go take ein woman. The sad thing be sey Beno dey feed your man wey the jon boy dey use the energy eat Annie. Kai.
W.A.G feat. Sarkodie & Youssoupha by Rouge.
E do aa den I no dey like if Sark dey rap 100% English but I gotta be honest, Sarkodie’s growth in this rap thing is amazing. You don't even realize he did the 100% & still killed it.
#SarkOnWAG
is fire 🔥🔥🔥
I see some sports journos & accounts suggesting that Sarkodie's visit to Salisu was a courtesy call to convince the Saints defender to play for the Black Stars. That's untrue. Sarkodie's mission in the UK is to encourage ppl to attend the O2 Arena concert of KiDi x Kuami Eugene.
Record labels engineer streams, make funds available for promo, facilitate collabos & awards. Then I look at Sarkodie. No label but get all these things done & wins awards hugely influenced by labels. I kinda understand why they say he's Illuminati. This guy is super blessed.
I'm in mood to review Sarkodie's Rush Hour for the umpteenth time. This track is the perfect rap song for me in any mood. It escaped people but Sark rapped abt 80% of the time in English & he didn't lose his flow & delivery. Msg clearly spat out & his rap attitude 1000% solid💪🏾.
This album we go dissect am from every angle. I'm listening to fireworks and that song is super super tight.
@wale
's verse is so mature. This is the umpteenth time I'm tweeting about the song cus it hits me hard and that Moelogo hook 🔥🔥🔥
#NoPressureAlbum
Sarkodie came to perform with the crowd. That's the mark of a good performer. Entertain the crowd and have a good show with em. Sark did just that and I'm proud of him for that. A king 👑 with his crowd
#BealeFestivalWithSark
It's
#CancerSZN
and the King of the season Sarkodie is celebrating his birthday. Happy landlord, may keep smiling and remain victorious at every stage you mount.
Ghana is proud of you because you raise our flag 🇬🇭 like the Highest that you are.

#SarkodieOnSummerstage
It's the Ghanaian artistes who give you Nokofio to promote their songs I pity. You have no talent, no sense of direction in your life but you wake up everyday just to smear dirt on people's hardwork. Kurasini.
How did Sarkodie know putting Whipped just after Fireworks was gon' blow my mind? I listen to this album and from Track 1 to 16 all make sense. I've never been able to skip. How did Sark do it? I love the

so much there's not a day I don't stream.
According to Rex Omar the SA agency they've contracted to help with loggins collected some royalties for Ghanaian artiste played outside Ghana &
@sarkodie
had the biggest amount but Obidi isn't a GHAMRO member so he can't access the money until he registers with GHAMRO.
Watch Sarkodie mentioning names of new acts he loves & the last person he mentioned amazed the crowd. This is in 2017 & I'm glad he's maintained the philosophy & love towards these ppl. This is an artist hu inspires the youth & colleagues alike. Nothing but just admiration 4 him.
Sarkodie x Mugeez x Tiffany - My Baby.
The way Sark den Tiffany diss dema body for this song, check like na dem get beef wey dem record.
Sarkodie is that artiste who puts emotions into his music & makes the listener feels part of songs he records. One of my fav collabs❤️💕
Sarkodie is the combination of every successful American rapper you can think of. When you say Jay-Z you think about Sark. When you say Kanye you think about Sark. When you think about Eminem you still think about Sark. That's how successful a rapper Sarkodie is. The GOAT!
After Sarkodie's tweet abt Stonebwoy, the bhim boss won the Artiste of the Year in April & BET in June. When the king blesses you, use it well and you will be greater. Sark has been endorsing upcoming since, so when myopic minds say something that ain't true we need to shoot em.
Gyakie's Forever has amassed 1.8M streams on Boomplay. The highest by any Ghanaian female act on the platform and the second highest after Happy Day by Sarkodie. This is a huge statement by Flip Management and the whole Gyakie team.
I think Fancy Gadam is the first artiste to boldly declare on radio that Sarkodie's presence on his song made the song a mega hit.
Sarknation appreciates his sincerity.
#AdviceAt1
"So if you feel sey you got it, no need to downplay the next man. Wo suro no na fiɔ. Ultimate confidence, brand be solidified that be why my love be pure". Now listen to a speech King Sark made 2 years ago at Dialogue Africa. This is for

. Sark got me doing the angama dance 😂
Obidi had Guiltybeatz and Buju in his house and cooked them some Ghana jollof. I'd have believed it was just a normal visit then I saw PossiGee. That can't be just a courtesy visit. But the project diɛ unless Rapperholic 25th anniversary.
The day Sark gets a Grammy nomination, he's WINNING it. No try & error. We go in for the win. When you check Obidi's track record, most of his big awards, he won on the 1st nomination. Example GMA ROTY, AOTY, BET Int'l Act, BET Hip-Hop Best Int'l Flow, IRAWMA etc.
So I always say Sarkodie has managed to keep his day 1s who contributed to the sarkcess story. But on the flip side I'd like to know wah really kept em to Sark cus dah man is difficult to deal with. How did they do it cus no artist has been able to move with same team 4 dah long.
Sarkodie can drop an EP every quarter of the year and still be able to serve us an album every two years as he's been doing and still have some songs available for the future but he nuh go do until the feeling is right. I understand him mmom. We move!
This freestyle was released somewhere 2013. At the time I thought Sark had featured someone for the intro but charley Obidi is some serious creative rapper ehn. You soak am.. I go drop the part 2 soon.
Sarkodie has never put us to shame. His closing remarks with nhyira nsɛm really touched me. I really had fun at
#Rapperholic2021
. No more events. Sark has drained me 😫
I don't know how

#BETCYPHER19
again & again & I keep screaming like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! This guy dey rap like undergee wey dey hung. With dis diɛ he's not ready to retire oo. King Sark dey rap enuh be joke
What Efia Odo said wldve been well received if it were Nana Aba who had said it. The msg is very relevant.
Flaunting iPhone 13 on Twitter cus you have the means to buy as a celeb is nkuraasesɛm. U're just putting pressure on ur followers who wish to be like u & can't afford it.
Once agn Ghanaian presenters, get d habit to do research. Sark quoted Bosompem Young's video Jan 4th & posted on IG Jan 6th b4 the song trended on Twitter for 3 days consecutively (10-12 Jan). If u wanna pull Sark down try harder cus we got the facts & figures to make u useless.
Sarkodie says it's almost impossible to match up the Naija dominance cus their artists have the liberty to create & the plugs would do the rest. Whereas in Ghana, the artists are their own CEOs running their own stuff cus there's no money/plug in the industry.
Ghanaians are hypocrites. The call for Stone x Shatta VGMA ban lift is bcus their Arrrbwoy is involved. I swear if it were Paa Nii alone, they wldnt be this vocal. Stonebwoy was on Joy FM last Saturday & he almost seemed like without VGMA he can't do anything. It's pathetic.
