Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie Obidi known to
Africans as Sarkodie is doing what many African artists are doing, representing
the continent well. The rapper has the sheer ability to string words together
at a pace which has placed him in his own league.
Hard work has seen this young muso’s career
take a twist and making noise across African, and as well as internationally.
The energetic, intelligent and talented Sarkodie realized the merits of music
and created a challenge to spread information at an exhilarating speed.
The rapper has had opportunities to work
with the likes of Hammer, Quick Action, Kewah and Nana fynn who have created
beats which have seen him take the African music landscape by surprise. In 2009
Sarkodie signed to Akon’s music label, Konvict music in a move that saw his
career take gigantic leaps.
At this past weekend’s annually held
Headies Awards Sarkodie bagged an award for Best African Act at the well
attended ceremony which took place at the expo hall of Eko Hotel and Suits in
Lagos, Nigeria on Saturday.
Along with winning an award at the Headies,
the two times Ghana Artist of the year also jointly won Best International Act (Africa)
award, an accolade which he shared with Nigerian artist Wizkid at this year’s Black
Entertainment Television awards.
Sarkodie deserves all the shine he is
receiving and he should be credited for flying the African flag high.
