Without exception, there comes a time, a certain genius erupts during a period the entire body of individuals born and living at about the same time exists. For the fans of a certain Sarkodie, genius is a term often used too loosely. To them he is the only Star in the galaxy gifted with true musical prowess. ‘’Sarkodie has certainly cemented such a ‘godlike’ status quo by meeting almost every standard (musically), and as that not being enough he has gone on to raise the par.’’ With his latest album, ‘’Mary’’ (an instant classic, whether you are 40 or 16) he is artlessly changing the game. For the first time ever a rapper (Sarkodie), records a whole album ‘live’, fusing live instrumentals with rap lyrics accompanied by Akwaboah’s soothing song writing skills. His versatility rate is beyond an athlete participating in more than five different games at the Olympics. From recording Hiphop songs to Azonto to Afrobeats to ‘partial’ dancehall tunes (Love Rocks & Pon Di Ting) and now ‘Live’ music, in short Sark have proven to be a man with an octopus grip. At just 28, Sarkodie is considered a ‘veteran’ capped with legendary cachet surpassing his fellow MIC bearers and is in a league of his own.
