Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie, also known as Michael Owusu Addo, made waves with his latest track ‘Brag,’ where he confidently asserts his superiority over other African rappers and musicians.
He highlights his longstanding presence in the music industry, predating the fame of artists like Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Black Sherif, and Asake.
Sarkodie declares that his only competitors are J Cole and Kendrick Lamar. The song delves into Sarkodie’s journey, including moments of Wizkid and Davido’s rise while he was already established.
He mentions rising talents like Odugwo, Black Sherif, and Asake, affirming his ongoing relevance and creativity.
“I gotta brag, I am too quiet,” he says, signaling he is ready to outline his long list of achievements in the music scene.
“Wizkid came, I was already doing it. Davido started, I was already improving it. Then Odugwo came through, Black Sherif, Asake, and I’m still going… you thought I was losing it? My biggest competition is Kendrick and Cole,” he raps on the song.
Sarkodie reflects on challenges and disappointments from those he expected support from.
He also teased his upcoming project, ‘The Championship,’ scheduled for release by May 24 or possibly earlier.
This release is highly anticipated, being his first major music release since his eighth studio album, ‘Jamz,’ in 2022. Fans are eager to see the impact Sarkodie’s new music will have on the hip-hop scene.
