Sarkodie Chalks New Milestone; Features On The New Version Of ‘Stir It Up’ By Bob Marley & The Wailers
Bob Marley and The Wailers ring in the new year with a reinterpretation of his classic ‘Stir It Up, featuring Ghanaian rap artiste Sarkodie, which drops this Friday.
This song, produced by MOG, blends the distinctive guitar strums and calming bounce we’ve come to adore with Sarkodie’s distinctive delivery. ‘Stir It Up’ will bring generations, continents, and more together.
The rapper expressed his joy over the new milestone; “What a way to kick start this year !!! Definitely one of the highest moments in my career/Life… Big shouts to the team at island records @akosuas_ @Jaykjs and the Marley family for getting me on this amazing project by the legend #bobmarley… such a blessing to lay my vocals right next to the original vocals of the Gong…”
Bob Marley is one of the most iconic characters in modern music, and his impact is enormous. The social activist and politically conscious lyrics of the Jamaican singer, guitarist, and composer are merged with elements of lovers-rock, ska, and rocksteady. Bob Marley was elected into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame posthumously in 1994 as a pioneer of reggae music.
In December 1999, his 1977 album ‘Exodus’ was selected Album of the Century by Time Magazine and his song ‘One Love’ was designated Song of the Millennium by the BBC.
Sarkodie is one of the most successful African rappers of all time, with a nearly 20-year career. He was the inaugural recipient of BET’s Best International Flow artiste at the 2019 BET Hip Hop Awards, and he was named Vodafone Ghana Music Award’s “Artiste of the Decade”.
This collaboration makes Sarkodie the first Ghanaian rapper to be featured by the legendary late Bob Marley and The Wailers on ‘Stir It Up’; an all time classic.
