6 February 2023 would have been the 78th birthday of the musical legend Bob Marley. Fast forward 45 years and the Marley family have enlisted Ghanaian rap star, Sarkodie, to feature on a remake of the 1973 hit "Stir it up", from the album "Catch A Fire" by Bob Marley and the Wailers. Surprisingly, reports surfaced that Sarkodie was close to passing up the opportunity to collaborate with the late icon. Journalist, Mark Wilberforce, spoke to the Ghanaian star.
