With
some few years to make up a decade, musician extraordinaire, Sarkodie has never
failed to appear on our television sets and be on our radio. The musical legend
has been continually dropping hits after hits, building himself as the greatest
musical brand, influencing the youth heavily and opening the door to the hall
of fame. The rapper’s attention has been on the youth for a while now, with a
few oldies having an eye on him, although almost every inhabitant knows him.
After dropping 3 solid albums, Sarkodie decides to dedicate an album to his
late grandmother Mary Lokko who kicked the bucket in 2012. He does it in a
grandstyle, fusing genres that’ll encompass almost every typical Ghanaian’s
favourite, thus Hip-Life and High-Life. In various interviews, the “Illuminati”
hitmaker has emphasized how his grandmother advised him to do live music, when
she was alive. Known by real name Michael Owusu, he heeds granny’s advice and
provides Ghana with refreshing food for the soul, Mary Album.
