Sarkodie drops a brand new music named “IBRAHIM TRAORÉ” featuring Worlasi.
Sarkodie’s feature on “IBRAHIM TRAORÉ” alongside Worlasi stands at a critical junction in the evolution of modern African hip-hop.
Ibrahim Traoré, the current head of state in Burkina Faso, who has attracted a lot of interest throughout West Africa for his ascension to power, is referenced in the song.
By evoking Traoré’s name, Sarkodie and Worlasi tap into the spirit of assertiveness, resilience and transformation that Traoré represents for a new generation on the continent.
Sarkodie’s bars are handled with his trademark finesse, flowing between English and Twi with ease.
His flow is unrelenting and demanding, as he addresses the concerns of leadership, legacy, and the responsibility of influence.
Sarkodie does not shy away from criticizing the status quo, making analogies between the struggles of ordinary Africans and the greater struggle for autonomy and respect on the world arena.
No less powerful is the contribution of Worlasi. Worlasi makes the track more soulful with his raw, passionate voice and thought-provoking lyrics.
His melodious hooks and introspective lines both counterbalance and compliment Sarkodie’s furious vocals.
MOG Beatz production is a masterclass in modern African hip-hop. The beat is based on a strong percussion piece, mixed with atmospheric synths and delicate classical touches.
