One of my favourite artistes is under the spotlight today, I have never hidden my fondness for Ghanaian music or artistes, not just because of the Azonto connection, people! Ghanaian music is awesome ... Almost as great Nigerian music!;))
He is simply known as Sarkodie or Sarkodie Obidi. He was born Michael Owusu, in Tema, Ghana, and he's a hip-life/hip-hop Ghanaian artiste. Sarkodie is arguable the fastest lyricist the side of the continent. He was crowned the "King of Underground Hip-Life", for five years.
His debut album, Makye was released in 2009. With great songs like; "Chat With You" featuring JaySo, "Move" featuring Kwaw Kese, "Babe" featuring Mugees, amongst others.
He won the BET's Best African Act for 2012.
He's signed on to Konvict Africa, Akon's record label
And he's billed to perform at the Big Brother Africa StarGame 2012 finale.
Sarkodie's Rapperholic album is simply off the charts! His second album, and Konvict Africa's first
"offering", it was released in December 2011 with songs like "U Go Kill Me" featuring E.L, which happens to be one of my favourites! "Give It To Me" featuring Mugeez, "Onyame Nhyira No" featuring Castro, "When I Grow Up" featuring Ikechukwu, "I'm In Love With You" featuring Efya, amongst others.
He's also teamed up with musician/rapper/producer JaySo on a joint collaboration album, "The Mind Game"(TMG). The first single off the album is "Pizza & Burger", with other songs like; "Let Them Know", "Marry You", "Look At My Baby" amongst others.
