Ghanaian rap star and multi-award-winning artist Sarkodie has earned another major recognition, as his 2014 hit Adonai featuring Castro has been ranked among Revolt TV’s top nine tracks to spark an Afrobeat obsession.
Afrobeat—originally pioneered by Fela Kuti and revived by a new generation—continues to dominate the global music scene. For newcomers looking to dive into the genre, this carefully curated list serves as the perfect starting point.
Among mostly Nigerian entries, Sarkodie and UK-based Ghanaian artist Fuse ODG were the only Ghanaians featured.
Revolt TV’s list, presented with no specific ranking, includes: Wizkid’s Ojuelegba, P-Square’s Collabo featuring Don Jazzy, Yemi Alade’s Johnny, Davido’s Skelewu, Fuse ODG’s Azonto featuring Tiffany, Sarkodie’s Adonai featuring Castro, Timaya’s Bum Bum Remix featuring Machel Montano, Korede Bello’s Romantic featuring Tiwa Savage, and Burna Boy’s Abeg Abeg.
Praised as a “Twi-rapping Ghanaian artist with standout style and sharp business savvy,” Sarkodie’s Adonai had surpassed 31 million views at the time the list was published.
