Veteran Ghanaian hip-life rapper, Obrafour has publicly declared Sarkodie as the best thing that has ever happened to Hip-life in Ghana despite criticizing the lyrics as baseless lines.
Speaking in an interview with Pluzz FM, the ‘Ghana Patriotic Song’ singer who is rated one of best hip-life singer explained his reasons for criticize his choice of words when rapping.
I’m bias for Sarkodie but it’s not because I know him as a person but for his work ethic and how he constructs his rap, sorry to say but sometimes he says some useless things but I got to realize those were stuff he took on as he progressed.
‘Because when you want him to descend into a gutter and work with him he will descend in and work, sometimes the curse words he uses are not appropriate but he believes it will aid him to express his art better. But I don’t blame him much, society is hypocritical, we say this and that is not proper but we are the same people who will chase those same things.’
The rapper later gave the props to the ‘U go kill me rapper’ whom he crowned as the hip-life king of Ghana aside him. The world likes nonsense, all I want to say is Sarkodie works very hard, If you put me aside, he is the best thing that ever happened to Hiplife,
‘God knows why he brought me, and I agree with God to some extent because God doesn’t bring one person to do everything. He brings some people to open a door for the rest to enter, so if you see people putting in effort you must acknowledge it’
Obrafour whose real name is Michael Elliot Kwabena Okyere Darko started doing music professionally in 1997, he poses as one of the gifted hip-life singer in Ghana.
