Sarkodie, one of Ghana's greatest rappers and a pioneer of African hip-hop, sits down with DJ Edu for an unmissable interview.
In this episode, Sarkodie reveals how he made history as the first African rapper to sell out London's Royal Albert Hall in under a week, bringing his iconic Rapperholic concert outside Ghana for the very first time.
But behind the headlines is a deeper story. Sarkodie opens up about a tough childhood spent away from his family, the resilience that forged his mindset, and how those early struggles continue to fuel his music decades later.
He also gets candid about balancing global superstardom with fatherhood and what it really means to be present when the world is calling.
Sarkodie raps in Twi, and he and Edu discuss how language and identity sit at the heart of his artistry, and consider whether the global music industry has ever truly given Africa's rap king the recognition he deserves despite the fierce loyalty of Sark Nation, one of the most dedicated fanbases in African music.
