Sarkodie, who is set to release his new album dubbed ‘No Pressure’ on July 30, said a hit song cannot cement the career of a musician but rather through hard work.
You can have the hits but it secures nothing, you have to build it and ground up and when you have a solid fanbase… you have to do it little by little… I had to do lots of travelling when I was up-and-coming.
Because of passion, I was doing the crowdsourcing and by the time I was on TV they felt like they were part of it, Sarkodie said on Kumasi-based Pure FM.
Advising up-and-coming rappers, he said:
The easiest way is the hardest way. You can have a hit and you need to maintain. Just having hits doesn’t secure you being in the game for long… you need to know your power and hammer on it.
