The Ghanaian regarded as one of the great rappers to ever graced a microphone to rap in all of Africa if not the very best has finally signed a lucrative deal with the international conglomerate that will see his music reach even more people outside of Africa even easier.

Being the founder and CEO of his Sarkcess Music empire, Sarkodie has for the most part of his career, ran his music empire, his entire music catalog as an independent artiste and it has been working for him for years; owning his masters and all but being an independent artiste, you can only do so much.

Sarkodie whose real name is Michael Owusu Addo has signed a publishing deal under his record label Sarkcess Music with Sony Music Publishing that will see him soar into the international music arena.

“We are beyond excited to welcome Sarkodie to the SMP[Sony Music Publishing] family! Great things to come,” Sony Music Publishing sent out the tweet.
