Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, has set his sights on a tough challenge as he declares he is on a mission to grow the music industry in Ghana. Widely recognized for his passionate love for music, he continues to strive for the best – this time for Ghana’s music to dominate the world.
Touted as the “Landlord” of the music space, the rapper in a recent interview on Y 107.9 FM’s “Dryve of Your Lyfe” with Kojo Manuel revealed that, his next “Highest” is to do something to give back to the industry in general.
Sarkodie believes that the music industry needs worldwide dominance and not just about being a “local champion”. He passionately indicated that he is working towards doing something to help the industry grow and not just focusing on himself.
“I think my top focus now is not really about my music but about the industry. Yes the music has to go worldwide. It still needs worldwide dominance and not just being known at certain places but you would want to like dominate in some areas.”
While his music has gained popularity worldwide, Sarkodie is looking to expand the industry to the point where Ghanaian music dominates globally. He sees this as his next high, and he is working hard to make it a reality.
“I think personally I would and I have been saying this a lot because I’ve been working on that a lot and that’s the space I’m in, I would want to do something to help the industry itself grow and not just Sarkodie and that will be my next high that I actually did something to really give back to the industry in general,” he furthered.
The Ghanaian rapper has recently been in the trends after his stunning feature on the remake of legendary Bob-Marley’s “Stir It Up” song with The Wailers. The song released two weeks ago got Ghanaians on chokehold and climbed up to the number one spot on YouTube despite all the negative and mixed reactions it received after the release of the song.
