Late Reggae legend and Jamaican singer Bob Marley has been the talk on Twitter following a post on his social media handle to feature Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie.
Bob Marley and the Wailers released their hit song “Stir It Up” in 1978.
Though the reggae legend is late, Sarkodie has landed an international collaboration with the group to release a new version of the song.
In the group’s post on the micro-blogging site, they said “New version of Stir It Up coming Friday ft. Ghanaian artist Sarkodie”.
