Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has revealed that dancehall star Shatta Wale is one of the key influences encouraging him to incorporate more singing into his music, even though he prefers to use the style sparingly.
Speaking on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz morning show on Monday, December 22, 2025, Sarkodie disclosed that he has several unreleased tracks that are purely melodic.
According to the rapper, Shatta Wale has consistently motivated him to embrace singing as a new phase in his musical evolution.
“One person who pushes me to do more singing is Shatta Wale. When I did this one, I sent it to him. Not only that, there are about three such songs I have recorded; one I sang throughout,” he said.
Sarkodie admitted that although he enjoys creating melodic tracks, releasing them publicly makes him uneasy.
“I was very uncomfortable with it because I would write it, but putting it out is difficult for me. And he said no, this is the next phase you should do,” he added.
