Speaking at Black Sherif’s private cocktail to celebrate his debut album, Sarkodie explained that a club he visited in South Africa had Blacko’s music as one of the Number 1 records.
“It’s not just part of the playlist. We’re talking about the biggest song of the night that people are looking forward to at the highest peak,” he told the gathering.
The ‘No Pressure’ crooner expressed his pride in what the 20-year-old has achieved adding that Blacko should brace himself for more successes in the future.
“He is about to see more than he has done already. So he should strap on for the better things that are about to happen,” Sarkodie added.
