“I Don’t Hear Language, I Hear Greatness” – Sarkodie Hails Edem’s Volta Regime as One of Ghana’s Greatest Albums

Award-winning rapper Sarkodie has taken to Facebook to celebrate Edem’s iconic Volta Regime album, describing it as “one of the greatest albums in Ghana’s music history.” The album, which was released in 2009, continues to hold a special place in Sarkodie’s heart, even over a decade later.

In the heartfelt post, Sarkodie recalled the first time he encountered Edem’s music. He was so moved by Edem’s talent that he immediately shared the experience with a friend. Despite the friend’s doubts due to Edem’s use of the Ewe language, Sarkodie said he was not deterred.

“I remember when I first encountered my brother Edem I came back home to tell one of my hommies that this guy will have a serious impact on the music scene. He was like naa because of the language barrier. I said I don’t hear language, I hear greatness!!!” Sarkodie wrote.

He further praised Edem, adding:

“Big up my brother. You still on my fav mcee list.”

Sarkodie’s tribute to Edem not only acknowledges the timeless quality of the Volta Regime album but also challenges the notion that language should limit an artist’s reach or impact. It’s a powerful nod to the diversity and depth of Ghana’s music scene, where talent speaks louder than words.

Fans across social media have since echoed Sarkodie’s sentiments, applauding the recognition of a classic body of work that helped shape Ghana’s hip-hop and hiplife landscape.
