I almost passed on the opportunity because I felt I wasn’t worthy- Sarkodie on Bob Marley collaboration

B.E.T award-winning rapper, Sarkodie’s collaboration with the legendary Bob Marley and The Wailers on “Stir it Up” is finally out.
The ‘landlord’ of Ghana music has called the feature the “biggest highlight of his music journey” .
In a new interview on the +44 Podcast, Sarkodie has shared more insight on how he landed the collaboration.
According to Sarkodie, when he and his management received the email about working with the legend Bob Marley on “Stir it Up,” he felt he was not the right person for the feature.

“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.

Ryan Ofei Sings Open The Heavens On Limitless Worship: Accra

Ryan Ofei’s voice sounds like God made him solely to praise His name. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Ryan turned down football scholarships in favour of ministering the word of God through his music. In a short period, the Ghanaian/Canadian worshiper has built an incredible repertoire that can only be proof of God’s grace upon his life. Ryan Ofei’s singles (‘No Limits’ & ‘Jehova’) as well as his debut solo project (David’s Heart) have touched souls across continents and led to tours in Europe, North America & Africa. Ryan’s contributions to Maverick City Music, a group he joined in 2021 as a songwriter & performer, has led to several Grammy nominations and a Grammy win. UK Rapper, Stormzy quite recently co-signed Ryan by performing a cover of Ryan’s “Jehova” song at Montreaux Jazz Festival. ‘Limitless Worship: Accra’is Ryan Ofei’s second solo project and an ode to the Ghanaian roots through which God has blessed his life.
‘Limitless Worship’ opens with the uplifting ‘Hail The Name’ where Ryan Ofei’s voice beams with joy as he tells you to “lift up your eyes, look at the king, isn’t he beautiful?” A question that needs no answering. The chorus of voices that join him to sing “Yahweh” in the hook only heighten the feeling of abundance and beauty that fills you when the song starts. On ‘Amen (Wo Awie)’ Ryan praises God for fulfilling His promises to his servant. Ryan weaves his lyrics beautifully in English and closes it off in Twi on the hook. Ryan and his chorus of beautiful voices belt “Wo Awie, asem a wo kaa yɛ no, bɔhyɛ a wo hyɛɛ me no” which loosely translates to “the promises you made me, you have fulfilled them.” Ghanaian gospel stalwart Joe Mettle also lends his voice in praise with Ryan. More than halfway into the song, it switches into a powerful proclamation of unwavering belief in the promises of God which is also reflected in a switch in instrumentation that shows the intentionality with which Ryan creates music. With 5 songs and clocking in at around 30 minutes, Limitless Worship is a spirit filled showcase of Ryan Ofei’s growth in God and in musical ability. It is a wonderful listen and guaranteed to bring listeners closer to God.
‘Limitless Worship: Accra’ was recorded live in Ghana. It is Ryan Ofei’s first live recording and features elements of African worship blended with contemporary Christian music.
‘Limitless Worship: Accra’ is now available on all streaming platforms here: https://platoon.lnk.to/limitless-worship-accra
