In a new interview on the +44 Podcast, Sarkodie has shared more insight on how he landed the collaboration.

“When we had the email, I almost passed it on, just out of respect. I felt that I was not worthy to lay my vocals next to the legend. I was really hard on myself and my manager was like this is a big opportunity but because the artiste side of me is thinking more about the art and not the opportunity so I didn’t even listen to anything. I just felt I’m not right person to lay my vocals next to the legend,” he disclosed.
Sarkodie states that he however, had a change of mind he listened to the original vocals of Bob Marley in the studio, a moment he calls “spiritual.”
“Then, they sent the record and we opened his vocals and this is his real vocals when he recorded it and I was listening to that in the studio, I captured it on camera because it was very spiritual at that moment,” he added.
The “Country Side” hitmaker reveals he did 4 different verses before finally picking the right one because he felt the message in his lyrics had to be worthy of the legend.

“I think I did like 4 verses snd I had to choose the right one. Everything I say, I’m like, I’m saying next to Bob Marley, it feels like me and him in the booth. Like you can’t…there are few people that get me like that when I work with them, the man that inspired me to rap, Obrafuor, he’s a rapper, he’s never cursed, he’s never used profanity, and he was catering to the youth, I didn’t know how he was able to do that. I tried it but the new generation its hard to like keep it too censored, you wanna say stuff that you feel,” he concluded.
