“Let me use a classic example like Sarkodie. When Sarkodie started rapping, we all enjoyed what he was doing but it was when he added melody to it; then he became a national success,” he revealed.
Okyeame chose Sarkodie’s Baby feat. Mugeez as a typical example of what he posited as the final component of Sarkodie’s success and further added that melody is a key component in the process of creating music. “It is very key that we don’t water down melody because it is the most difficult part of the creative process,” he opined.
