Sarkodie takes a break from the Azonto and jumps on a Hammer beat, getting back to his rap (Hip-pop? Tema-pop? Hip-life?) roots. The interpretive dancing, and artsy black and white beach shots make it seem like the director has been watching some Ingmar Bergman.

The track, featuring Obrafour on the hook, is from “Rapperholic,” a recently released album. I don’t think this is the much anticipated (by me) Konvict music album, but I’m excited to hear it regardless.
