SARKODE had a dream — and a problem — in 2007. He aspired to be a great rapper, but his native tongue, Twi, was not widely understood, particularly outside of his hometown of Tema, Ghana.
He wasn't about to be discouraged. "I believed I could take Twi somewhere," he says. "That I was able to push it and go beyond Ghana's borders."
Sarkodie rose through the underground, and his battle skills and rap-fire delivery propelled him on an unstoppable upward trajectory while primarily rhyming in Twi. He amassed a devoted fan base across Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States — a feat that many African rappers have attempted but failed to achieve — and even won Best International Flow at the 2019 BET Awards.
Simultaneously, Sarkodie, born Michael Owusu, became an integral part of a Ghanaian hip-hop scene that boasts one of Africa's largest rosters of rappers, with artists like Kwesi Arthur, Black Sheriff, Yaw Tog, and Medikal creating cross-continental hits.
Sarkodie's abilities grew as time passed. His bars have become more clever and considered, full of acerbic wordplay and heartfelt true-life stories. Sarkodie's previous full-length release, 2021's No Pressure, showcased the rapper's elite lyricism while also bringing in generation- and continent-spanning features from Oxlade, Giggs, Kwesi Arthur, Vic Mensa, and others.
He's back with a new album, JAMZ, which combines African-inspired hip-hop, tropical Afropop, and vibrant amapiano.
