Rapper Sarkodie has disclosed that he almost turned down the chance to work on the version of Bob Marley’s timeless song “Stir It Up.”
On Friday, January 20, 2023, the song was made available on all streaming media sites.
The Ghanaian artist stated during a discussion on the well-known +44 Podcast that he didn’t feel deserving of having his voice on the same tune as the iconic Reggae hero.
“When I had the email, I almost passed it on and not just out of respect, I felt that I was not worthy to lay my vocals next to the legend. I was really hard on myself,” he told Sideman, host of the podcast.
Sarkodie added that while he was thinking of letting the project go, “my manager was like this is a big opportunity. But, the artiste side of me was thinking more about the art and not the opportunity.”
“When I was listening to it (Bob Marley’s vocals) it was a very spiritual moment,” the ‘Non Living Thing’ hitmaker said.
