Ghana is currently in the spotlight in Global music circles as Sarkodie became the first ever Ghanaian to be on the world acclaimed British Musical radio show, the Tim Westwood Show this past weekend. The "rapperholic" genius who is in London on a tour seems to never go wrong. Since he has been in London, the hit maker has performed in close to 6 cities, held collaborative talks with other artistes and has just completed the remix version of his monster hit, "U Go Kill ME" which features ace comedian and radio personality Eddie Kadi, Donaeo and Wretch 32.
Timothy Westwood (born 3 October 1957) is an English DJ and presenter of radio and television. He also presents the UK version of the MTV show Pimp My Ride. He is often referred to by other DJs and artists appearing on his shows simply as Westwood. He has hosted the likes of Drake, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, J. Cole and a host of others. Sarkodie's appearance on this show will definitely boost his image as an artist and Ghana music in general.
Exclusive information reaching Quame Junior also suggests that the "rapperholic" is likely to have a collaborative song with Chipmunk as talks are already on the way. In a related development, Sarkodie is set to stage his first ever concert on the 25th of December to launch the much anticipated "RAPPERHOLIC" album. Congratulations to Sarkodie and Congratulations to Ghana music.
It may sound crazy but hey, let’s try give this a thought. At first it was him falling soo much in love with her long term friend.And yes, everything seemed like a never ending love. It was everywhere, the news about his new found Love blew around in the media across Ghana and Africa as a whole. Until just recently that the unfortunate happened. Everything in this Audio tells it louder. All I can say to my brother Sarkodie is, BRO…take Heart, Love can be abnormal sometimes
Ghana’s fastest rapper, Sarkodie had a studio session with one of UK’s finest music acts, Chipmunk, Monday in London.
