Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie
Sarkodie has revealed the quiet influence nudging him beyond rap and into melody, crediting dancehall star Shatta Wale as a key voice encouraging him to sing more on his records.
He revealed this while admitting he remains cautious about fully embracing that side of his artistry.
In an interview with Kwame Dadzie and Doreen Avio on Hitz FM, the celebrated rapper disclosed that he has recorded several unreleased tracks built entirely on melody rather than rap.
He explained that Shatta Wale has consistently urged him to explore that sound without hesitation.
Though widely celebrated for his lyrical precision and dominance as a rapper, Sarkodie has occasionally blended singing and melodic flows into his music.
Still, fans are yet to experience a full project centered entirely on his singing voice. Such a move could mark a new chapter in his career, broadening his appeal and drawing in audiences who connect more with melody-driven music.
The recent ‘bromance’ between Sarkodie and Shatta Wale also reflects that they have put past differences behind them.
