Essential Albums
- On his third album, BET Best International Act: Africa winner Sarkodie (born Michael Owusu Addo) cemented his role as Ghana’s foremost hip-hop export. In keeping with his Afrocentric ethos, he delivered his raps primarily in Twi, with English sprinkled across the project’s 30 tracks. “Sarkology was an era where I had to place myself as an African artist, [not] just a Ghanaian artist,” he tells Apple Music. “From the records to the visuals, I gave my all; this album got me to step up my game.” Fusing hip-hop, hiplife, dancehall and Afrobeats, the feature-laden album housed guests such as 2Face Idibia, Stonebwoy, Fuse ODG, Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, Davido, Joey B, Efya and more. Impressing the streets as well as the charts—across productions by Masterkraft, King of Accra, Lil Shaker, Magnom, Silvastone, Killbeatz and Fortune Dane—Sarkodie oscillated between rapid-fire bars (“Preach”, “Rap Attack”), motivational lyricism (“Halleluyah”, “Small Small”) and amorous melodies (“Special Sumone”, “Ordinary Love”).

About Sarkodie
Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie’s highly danceable tracks have made him an ambassador of hiplife, a hybrid genre that combines hip-hop with the highlife sounds native to his home country. • His third album, 2014’s 30-track behemoth Sarkology, boasts features from Burna Boy, Fuse ODG and Davido. The LP won Album of the Year at the 2014 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. • In 2019, Sarkodie won the first-ever Best International Flow prize at the BET Hip Hop Awards. That same year, he took home Artiste of the Decade honours at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. • Along with artists like E.L., Guru and Fuse ODG, Sarkodie has helped to popularize “Azonto”, a dance craze that involves using hand gestures to mime common activities and communicate with others.
