Sarkodie and Shatta Wale: a long story

Few relationships in Ghanaian music have been watched as closely as this one. The two have had public disagreements over the years, and they have also stood together when the industry needed a united front. Each collaboration between them is treated as a peace treaty by their fan bases, and Everlasting is no exception. The chemistry on the record suggests the two have long since settled into mutual respect.

Musically, the song plays to both men’s strengths. Sarkodie’s verses are tight and quotable, with the Twi and English switches he is famous for, and Shatta Wale’s hook is built to be shouted back at concerts.

About Sarkodie

Sarkodie, born Michael Owusu Addo, won the BET Award for Best International Act: Africa in 2012 and Best International Flow in 2019, and he holds the record for the most Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, including Artiste of the Decade. His albums, from “Rapperholic” to “Jamz”, have defined Ghanaian hip-hop for more than fifteen years.

About Shatta Wale

Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., is the king of Ghanaian dancehall and the leader of the Shatta Movement. He won Artiste of the Year at the 2014 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards and reached a global audience in 2019 when Beyoncé featured him on “Already”. His influence on Ghanaian street culture is unmatched.

Why Everlasting matters

Beyond the music, the record is a reminder of how much these two have shaped the industry. Between them they have dominated Ghanaian charts for most of the past fifteen years, and a joint single still commands attention from radio, television and the streets in a way few other pairings can. The official video has added to the buzz, and the song has quickly found its way onto party and radio playlists across the country.

The release also fits a pattern in Sarkodie’s recent work, where he has made a point of sharing records with artistes from across the industry rather than staying in the rap lane alone.
