Ghanaian musician Samuel Adu Frimpong, better known as Medikal, has expressed profound gratitude to Sarkodie for his early career support.
In a recent interview with KSM, Medikal recounted how Sarkodie’s willingness to collaborate in 2016 significantly impacted his journey in the music industry.
Medikal reminisced about his first encounter with Sarkodie when he was still an up-and-coming artist.
To his delight and surprise, Sarkodie agreed to remix his song “Confirm” without hesitation.
“I dropped ‘Confirm’ remix, and after it started flying, I hit up Sarkodie and Angel Town. I idolize Sark; I needed him so much, and he sent his verse through very quickly. I asked if we could shoot the video, and he didn’t charge me for anything—not even styling. After that, we did other projects. Sark has never said no to me,” Medikal revealed.
Inspired by Sarkodie’s generosity, Medikal now offers free verses to talented emerging musicians. He believes that supporting budding artists is essential, just as Sarkodie did for him.
“For someone as big as Sarkodie to spend their time on you as a rookie is amazing. That is why sometimes I do it for others. When someone has the talent, and you can give a verse to uplift the person in a certain way, you should go for it,” Medikal said.
Medikal hopes that by emulating Sarkodie’s gesture, he can help other upcoming talented artists find their footing and succeed in their musical careers.
