Sarkodie, one of Ghana's greatest rappers and a pioneer of African hip-hop, sits down with DJ Edu for an unmissable interview. In this episode, Sarkodie reveals how he made history as the first African rapper to sell out London's Royal Albert Hall in under a week, bringing his iconic Rapperholic concert outside Ghana for the very first time.
