Sarkodie recently dropped another masterpiece titled “Vibration” featuring the Amrican rapper ahead of the release of his upcoming album dubbed “No Pressure”.
After the release of the song, his fans have endorsed the track for Grammy awards following works the rapper put in place in collaborating with Vic Mensa.
Revealing how he was able to secure the collabo with the American rapper, Sarkodie said; “Myself and Vic kept up on social media and he told me he was coming to Ghana. I had set up a studio and was doing a writing camp so I was in the mood of recording 24/7 when he came through. I had a producer Nova already at the studio. He played a couple of beats and as soon as I heard that one I said, “That’s the sound. It feels like ‘No Pressure’” and Vic loved it. It’s rare you find a beat when two artists are about to collaborate and everybody goes, “This is it.” It happened so naturally. He laid the hook and then left. Now, I don’t write verses on the spot like I used to when I was coming up. Now I need to take my time cuz as I said, no pressure. I relax with the beat, play it in the car and drive around so then I can put out my best. So after he laid the hook I took it home and played it for a while then wrote the verse. He later sent his verse and the rest is history.”
Meanwhile, the rapper will soon be dropping his “No Pressure” album on the 30th of July 2021.
