SARKODIE "NOBODY"

Sarkodie has released Nobody, featuring Remy Adan, and it is out now on his official YouTube channel with a visualizer to go with it. The release comes via his own Sarkcess Music imprint.

Where it fits

Sarkodie has been a fixture at the top of Ghanaian rap for so long that a new single from him barely needs an introduction. The Tema rapper has moved through hiplife, hip-hop and Afrobeats without ever looking like he was chasing the room. Projects like Rapperholic and Black Love sit in a catalogue built on that flexibility, and Nobody is another entry in a run that has rarely gone quiet.

The choice of collaborator is the interesting part here. Remy Adan is the only guest billed, which keeps the focus tight: this is a two-voice record rather than a posse cut or a crowded feature list. Sarkodie has always been good at making space for the right guest, so it is worth hearing how the two share the song.

The sound and the visuals

The official description does not spell out the production, so we will not guess at credits. The tags on the upload point towards the hip-hop and Afrobeats lanes he has long worked in, which is about what you would expect from an artist who has treated the two as neighbours rather than rivals.

On the visual side, this is a visualizer rather than a full music video, directed by Edward Pappoe and Gus Sarkodee. That is a sensible format for a song that is still settling in, giving listeners something to look at while the track does the real work. A fuller video may follow, but nothing in the release says so, and we will not pretend otherwise.

The visualizer had passed 149,000 views at the time of writing, a decent early showing for a release that is still finding its audience. For now, the song is streaming everywhere, so press play and see whether Nobody earns a place in your rotation.
